Team Fergmeijer has received an official report from the Easter Bunny, now that all its Easter duties are complete: Over 80 youth stopped by the Park Centre last Saturday to hunt down more than 600 eggs! Thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy the morning.
If you are (or know of) any teenagers still looking for a summer job, the township has a position open with the museum. Resumes can be submitted to the township office.
With the weather so lovely and spring-like, we here at Team Fergmeijer spent a lot of time on the long weekend gazing at the sky, cloud-watching, and thinking deep thoughts. Like, what if the person who named walkie talkies was in charge of naming other things? Would stamps be lickey stickies? A defibrillator, hearty starty? Bumble bees could be known as fuzzy buzzy, and a pregnancy test could be a maybe baby.
Calling all green thumbs - the community flower boxes are up for adoption for the growing season. Take on a flower box, plant what you love, water it over the summer, and bask in the admiration and gratitude of a thankful populace. Let us know if you are interested in joining the movement!
Looking for a little night music? On Wednesday, May 1, all island schools are performing in a concert at Manitoulin Secondary to contribute to the Joan Mantle Trust Fund, which provides money for instruments for several of the concert band programs in island schools. The concert starts at 7:00pm; tickets are available at the door.
Happy birthday to Jean W who celebrated her 29th this week. We’d be more hyped up about it if we weren’t so jealous of her tan after her week of lounging on a sunny beach down south. Also turning 29 is honourary Kagawongian Marilyn P. who we hope will be back at her happy place by the lake very soon!
The MSS S.H.A.R.E/Go Green group is organizing a water walk across the island on Saturday, May 11. Walkers will walk from dawn until supper along two routes (one starting at Misery Bay Provincial Park and going along highway 540, and one starting at Wiikwemkoong), both ending at Manitoulin Secondary in time for a celebratory feast. If you are interested in walking with the group, sponsoring a walker, or offering your washroom as a pit stop for walkers, please contact Chris Theijsmeijer at 705 968-0404 for more information.
At time of writing, the smelts are running! Feel free to share your smelt fishing secrets on the Kagawong Facebook page.
Looking for Council meeting minutes, or committees of council meeting minutes? Look no further than the Billings Township webpage: http://billingstwp.ca , which we’re sure stands for Billings: Truly Whimsically Picturesque.
Never underestimate a Kagawongian with a deck of cards! The Billings Recreation Committee is looking for 2 volunteers to organize & manage the Kagawong Euchre Tournament held every third Wednesday of the month. Please contact Phyllis at 705-692-7248 if interested.
While the weather was good last weekend, we went for a bit of a road trip. We finally stopped at this small food stand that said ‘Lobster Tails - $2’ Well, we weren’t going to pass up that deal so we paid our $2 to the old man running the stand. We weren’t disappointed as he started, “Once upon a time, there was this lobster…”
