We’ve always felt that we were quite open and approachable, but a friend just raindeer-ed on our parade. She pointed out that both members of Team Fergmeijer suffer from RGF (resting grinch face). But wait, there’s myrrh! She also said that the RGF makes it look like we’re up to snow good! We were like, sleigh what?! How rude-olph of her!
The Friends of Billings Library silent auction wrapped up on Sunday night. With 67 items donated by our always generous community, over $3500 was raised to support the library! Thank you to everyone who participated! Items can be picked up at the library (18 Upper Street) during regular library hours (Tues. & Thurs. 4-7; Sat 10-1). Payment can be made by cash or cheque.
Can you hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring ting tingling too? Santa Claus is coming to town! The town has arranged a Meet & Greet with Santa on Friday, December 3, from 5-6:30pm. The location will be announced soon, so keep an eye on the Township of Billings Facebook page… and don’t forget your letter for Santa!
One half of Team Fergmeijer went on a first date to the outdoor rink by the Park Centre once, but got asked to leave. Apparently, it’s not the right place to break the ice. But if YOU might be interested in helping out with the rink, the Parks, Recreation, and Wellness Committee is looking for volunteers! Volunteering would include maintenance checks of the rink and snow removal. For more information, please email tmills@billingstwp.ca, or call (705) 282-2611 x225.
Are you interested in assisting Manitoulin communities in climate change mitigation?

Visit https://billingstwp.ca/employment-opportunities/ for more information; applications are due to Kathy McDonald by email (kmcdonald@billingstwp.ca) no later than Friday, December 10 at noon.
If a blacksmith hammered your autograph out of red hot steel, did they just forge your signature?
Happy 29th birthday to Team Fergmeijer superfan, Laurie Z. We’ve heard Laurie needs glasses to read her birthday cards. Wine glasses. Have a great day!
Cue the music! You will get a sentimental feeling, when you hear voices singing… at the annual Kagawong Christmas Concert! This year’s digital concert is just around the corner and can always use more contributors. Break out your cell phone and film yourself telling a joke or singing a song. Do a short skit or show off your talent on the keyboard. Share the video with the organizers at kagawong@live.ca and you can be included in the concert that streams on December 18th!
The library and museum are pleased to see the latest printing of the updated How It All Began book has been flying off the shelves. To get your copy, stop in at the library or contact billingslibrary@vianet.ca to make arrangements.
The other day, Team Fergmeijer got the words “jacuzzi” and “yakuza” confused. Now we’re in hot water with the Japanese mafia. Have a great week!
