Team Fergmeijer believes in setting goals for ourselves and this fall we decided to learn french. We thought we were starting easy with how to count in french, but it’s been pretty tough. At one point we 5 to our knees in frustration. Seriously, it was so bad we were ready to 7 our textbooks on fire. We’d had just about e9, but then realized that we were starting to understand what the passage 16. Turns out 10 isn’t so difficult after all! Of course the real trajeudi is that next week we are starting to learn the days of the week.
Happy birthday to Rachel M who turns 29 this weekend. She’s also known as The Cute One (for obvious reasons). Also turning 29 is Jody K. We’re not sure what she’ll be doing to celebrate but it’s probably outside and decorated with pink!
Monday is Remembrance day and Kagawong will have its annual service at 11am in the Park Centre. There will be no potluck this year, but there will be a silver collection.
The Township of Billings has hired a Climate Change Coordinator to facilitate the development of a Climate Action Plan. This plan will outline strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions both on a corporate and community level. Please call the municipal office or contact Kristin Koetsier at centralcc@eastlink.ca if you would like to be involved.
There will also be a Climate Action Open House hosted by the township on Wednesday, December 4th at 7pm in the Park Centre. All are welcome.
You better watch out… and you better not cry! Christmas in Kagawong is right around the corner! Stop by the Park Centre November 15th (4pm - 8pm), November 16th (10am - 4pm), and November 17th (11am - 3pm) and check out all the vendors and festivities. The jolly old gentleman himself might even make an appearance! While you are out and about that weekend, be sure to stop in at St. John’s Anglican church to see their fantastic angel display, pick up a little something from their bake sale and gift tables. They will have their famous mulled cider and activities for the kids available as well!
Have a talent? Have no talent, but are comfortable performing in front of a crowd anyway? Sign up for the Kagawong Community Christmas concert! This year’s community Christmas concert is set for Saturday, December 7th. We’re looking for skits, songs, poems, interpretive dance… anything you’d like to share! Contact MBB at willismjc@coomes.ca And let’s be real, the talent part is genuinely optional, just look at the regular hosts.
Because the renovations at the Old Mill has the town office in the downstairs of the Park Centre (where both groups would normally hold fundraisers during Christmas in Kagawong) the annual fundraisers for both of these worthy organizations have been put on hold until next year. So, this year’s community Christmas concert will raise funds that will be split between the Billings Library and the Heritage Centre.
The library would like to offer their heart-felt thanks to Tizzy who donated a large variety of hand-knit hats and scarves. Her beautiful (and warm) creations are available for purchase in the library with all proceeds going to support library initiatives!
We noticed that Ted and Sandy seem to be working on some secret (probably government-funded!) genetic engineering project up on the hill these days. Don’t think we didn’t notice the addition of donkeys to the herd of alpacas. What do you suppose one would call such a mix? Alponkeys? Donpacas? Regardless, we look forward to socks woven from the softest donpaca fur for Christmas!
Have a great week!
