Just like the weather, things in Kagawong are really starting to heat up! The warm weather has once again inspired Team Fergmeijer and we have decided we need to get into shape. We settled on taking an aerobics class. We bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour. Unfortunately, by the time we got our leotards on, the class was over.
Saturday, June 15, stop by the Park Centre between 5:30pm-7pm for a spaghetti dinner! At $12 for adults, and $8 for kids 12 and under, all proceeds go toward Strawberry Point Christian camp.
Missing Euchre? Then don’t miss the upcoming euchre tournament Wednesday, June 19 at 7:30pm at the Park Centre! Experienced card sharks and beginner players welcome.
In honour of Seniors' Month, Billings is once again looking to celebrate an outstanding senior in our community. Submit your nomination for Senior of the Year, including a brief explanation why you think that person should be the 2019 Billings Township Senior of the Year, by June 26, 2019, at 4:00pm to kmcdonald@billingstwp.ca
The Library board is planning to spruce the place up a bit with a coat of paint on the walls. Anyone wanting to volunteer a few hours over the July long weekend packing up books, priming, painting, or unpacking books, drop a line to the (terribly stylish) librarian at 282-2944 or billingslibrary@vianet.ca.
The facelift will be done just in time for the library’s annual book and bake sale. Mark Wednesday July 10th on your calendar!
In the wake of some momentous birthdays, we have come to some sobering realizations.
One, you can tell you are getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.
Happy 29th birthday to Karlene. Not a Kagawongian, but who are we to ignore the birthday of a magical unicorn like her?
The lake is warming up, and summer events in the village are just around the corner! Swim lesson registration is now open: the two sessions are July 2-26, and July 29-August 23, and costs are $30 per swimmer per session, with a $90 family rate for a family with 4 or more swimmers. Fees are payable prior to the start of the sessions at the township office (705 282-2611, x221).
Two, the odds are good that it’s not the high definition television that’s the problem. It’s your low definition eyes that are the problem.
Also starting up soon is the summer market! Wednesdays from 10am-3pm in July and August, stop by the Kagawong pavilion for fresh treats, locally-made crafts, and a bounty of other treasures! For vendor opportunities, call 705 210-9924.
Summerfest is coming! Mark July 19-21 on your summer calendar, and stay tuned for more information on the great events happening that weekend!
The township is still seeking members for the Community Events committee, Economic Development committee, Go Green committee, and the Parks, Recreation and Wellness committee. Interested? Check out http://www.billingstwp.ca for more information. The deadline for applications is Wednesday, July 10, at 4pm.
Have you wandered about to check out the flower boxes and flower beds around town? The ‘Late Bloomers’ have been hard at work digging, planting and watering all over the town.
Last, but not least, the older you get the better you get (unless you are a sandwich). Have a great week!
