The Lake Huron Fish and Chips have closed their doors for the season. The community will sure miss the convenience of having a local restaurant for those days when you just don’t feel like cooking. We look forward to their fare next summer.
The Manitoulin Ride Motorcycle Rally has completed all bookkeeping related to their annual fundraiser held the third weekend of July every year. This year they were able to donate $4,000 to the Alzheimer’s Society which has committed to have all monies raised stay on Manitoulin Island. They presented a cheque to the Alzheimer’s Society representatives at a meeting held on September 6, 2017. They are looking for anyone interested in volunteering on the planning committee for next year’s run which will be held July 13 and 14. Meetings are held at 7 pm on the first Wednesday of each month at the Mindemoya Community Centre.
