Euchre is a lot like falling in love. In the early days, it’s all Hearts and Diamonds, but after a while, there are times you find yourself wishing for a Club and a Spade. We are so excited that euchre has started up in Kagawong again! It’s been a long time since regular games were held here and we are pleased to see that time has not dulled some of those card sharks who come out to play.  If you are interested in playing, or joining the volunteers who put it on, reach out to seniors@billingstwp.ca. 

Get over your winter blahs with the help of a bowl of delicious chili! Saturday, March 14th, the Anglican Church is having a Chili Fest Luncheon with homemade chili, biscuits, drinks and dessert, all for $18. You can stay and visit or get it to go. This cash-only event is a fantastic fundraiser for the church. 

Don’t forget that Billings Senior Active Living hosts indoor walking in the sunny upstairs of the Park Centre each Tuesday at 2pm. Mondays at 9am is Yoga with Sam and Fridays at 9am you can join Fitness with Kelly classes. Get fit and active at your own pace! 

Also offered by SAL are Euchre for fun nights. The next one is Wednesday, March 11th at the Park Centre. Games start at 6:30pm followed by refreshments. Rookies and solos (and presumably solo rookies!) are all welcome. While you are at it, might as well mark March 25 and April 22 as Euchre nights on your calendar as well. 

Many happy returns to Maddy M, Steve S, and Arthur H, all of whom have turned 29 recently. Now that you have gotten a bit older, we expect things will really start to click for you. Things like your knees, your back, your neck…

How do we know spring is right around the corner? The township is hiring for summer student positions! There are two positions at the marina, two with public works, one with the museum, and one with the library. Applications, including a cover letter and a resumé, will be accepted until Friday, March 20th at noon. Check out the township website at https://www.billingstwp.ca/townhall/careers/ for more information and eligibility.

Did you hear about the priest who got carpal tunnel syndrome from playing too many old-timey card games? He received the euchre-wrist. Have a great week!
