Summer seems to have disappeared all of a sudden, but that’s okay. Like Humpty Dumpty, Team Fergmeijer is ready to have a great fall. 

The library board bid a fond farewell to summer student Emily last week as she heads back to university. The library has returned to their regular hours: Tuesday and Thursday 4 - 7pm; Saturday 10am - 1pm. 

We heard the schools are focusing more on vocabulary these days. We wanted to contribute to the learning. Here is a list of words that contain the word ‘meow’: meow, meowing, meowed, meows, homeowner.

Happy birthday to Kim B who motors her way to 29 next week. Do you know someone celebrating soon? Drop us a line at kagawong@live.ca and we’ll be sure they get the embarrassm...er… honour they deserve.  

Mark it on your calendar - the Elemental Festival is back with a fabulous lineup of entertainers for the fall of 2019!

But it’s not just music… check out their website for workshops and clinics, too. For more details and ticket information go online to www.4elementslivingarts.org

Geography was never our strong suit, but we do know one city in France, which is nice.

Speaking of working on waist… there’s no better time to get back into shape. Everyone’s favourite ball of energy is bringing Zumba back to Kagawong! Starting September 12th, shake a leg with Casey and the other Zumba-stars every Thursday at 7pm at the Park Centre.  

Once again, Kagawong is well-represented in the upcoming CIBC Run for the Cure, October 6 in Sudbury! Local ladies Mary Buie and Heather Theijsmeijer will be taking part and raising money for breast cancer research, treatment, and outreach. Search for “CIBC Run for the Cure” in your favourite browser, and search for either of their names to sponsor them.

Lastly, one of our fans has asked that we post the following notice for her: 

“Boyfriend is allergic to new kitten, so can’t keep him. He’s ginger & named Tom. Loves to cuddle and comes when he’s called. 28 years old and works in IT.” 

Have a great week!
