We hope everyone enjoyed their Family Day weekend. The weather over the weekend certainly helped.
This column of the News and Notes was done prior to getting the results of the Ladies Bonspiel, so they’ll be posted in next week’s edition.
Happy birthday wishes go out to Mike McKechnie who celebrates on Friday February 23rd.
So, you think you made it through the winter without getting the “Flu.” Think again! It’s still going around with a vengeance. They’re still recommending that you receive your flu shot and it’s still available, so think about it. Remember to wash your hands regularly and if you’re sick, please stay home.
It’s that time of the month again! Come on down with a partner and participate in the Euchre Tournament on Tuesday February 27th in the Twilight Seniors Club which is in the basement of the Providence Bay Hall. The games begin at 8:00 pm.
Mark your calendar for the 2nd Manitoulin Snow Drags hosted by the Manitoulin Island Dirt Riders Association being held at Ralf Island Truck Parts in Providence Bay on Saturday March 3rd.
