Approximately 25 people attended the curling club breakfast that is held the first Thursday of every month. Coffee and toast is available regularly on weekdays from 7-9 am.
The Central Manitoulin Township has cleared out the area across the road from the curling club and were thinking that it could be to make more room for parking. It sure opens it up now that all of the shrubs and Manitoba maples have been removed.
Happy belated birthday wishes go out to Stuart Pearson who celebrated on December 11.
The post office will be holding a customer appreciation day to coincide with the Mini Mutchmor opening on Thursday, December 14. Come on out and enjoy some local handmade gift shopping and warm up by having a hot beverage and some munchies.
