The Dance Township’s Association Walleye Fish Supper was a huge success. Close to 200 meals were serviced with delicious walleye, beans, salads, homemade desserts and much more. Joanne Hyatt was the lucky winner of the 50/50 draw winning $220.00 The evening was enjoyed by all attending and seeing the new hall renovations added to the evenings pleasure. The Dance Hall committee would like to thank all that supported the supper. Also thanks to all the volunteers that donated their time. All monies raised will be put towards further renovations to the hall. A special thank you to Keith Munro, who attended this event and being persistent about making his carrot cake and wild rice casserole even though his health hasn’t been great. Keith is one of the instrumental and key people in seeing the hall is once again able to be used and enjoyed by many. Keith has relocated to southern Ontario with family, Cory and Theresa for the winter.
Although the meal was a lot of work and commitment, the Dance Hall Committee are already making plans for another fish fry this spring.

Glenda was honoured with cupcakes served and many, many people signing a card on her last day of work , Tuesday October 29th. She will be missed. Here’s wishing Glenda all the best in her retirement.

Robin’s 2 cents
Brothers Ted and Tom went camping in the desert. They set up their tent and soon fell asleep. Some hours later, Ted wakes his younger brother.
Ted: “Tom, look up and tell me what you see.”
Tom: “ I see millions of stars.”
Ted: “So what does that tell you?”
Tom: “Well, astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Meteorologically, is seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What’s it tell you, Ted?”
Ted: “It tells me that someone stole our tent!”
