Eva, Marilyn, Annabelle and Reta enjoyed the stew dinner and euchre tournament on Wednesday afternoon at the Little Current Legion. The Little Current “Scarlet Red” red hatters had their monthly luncheon at Mum’s Restaurant and Bakery in Mindemoya on Wednesday.
Dorothy, Marilyn and Anna spent an evening playing euchre with Lois who is still in her cast. You are being missed Lois. We hope you are up and around soon.

The families of Michelle McFarlane Bryant and Steve Bryant would like to thank you for all your support as Steve had open heart surgery. Your financial assistance is still needed. You can donate at any Island BMO in Michelle’s name. We’re glad to hear that Repha Vanhorn is home from the hospital. We’re thinking of Max McArthur who was born and raised in Providence Bay and now resides in Florida. Our best wishes to Ted Jackson.
Grand Slam Curling in Fort McMurray Alberta on March 12 to the 16 had over 200 leaks in the roof. Sounds familiar!
