Thumbs up and thumbs up again Dear Editor The G-Moms of Port Perry want to send out a huge THUMBS UP to all of the continued amazing support we get from our community. We certainly want you to know that we appreciate your DONATIONS. You save your articles and treasures, drop them off at the Scout Hall, and donate again with your purchases. It is awesome to realize that many people are very aware that our monies go to help the Grannies and their Orphans in Sub-Sahara Africa and gave quickly from their hearts and their wallets. We profited over $6700 and as you know 90% of each dollar raised for SLF gets directly to the projects we support. We also got a new G-Mom as she loves what we do!!! Want to join us as well? Contact tinie5@xplornet.com Another huge THUMBS UP to North Durham Eco Water for donating the cap and cradle system with excellent water so the hard working G-Moms could RE-FILL their personal water bottles and not add plastic to our world. (We do have to be careful where we put them though as one of ours was almost sold! Smile!!! Tinie Evans, on behalf of all G-Moms Great event = Great success Dear Editor The Rotary Club of Port Perry wishes to thank everyone for his or her valued support of this year’s Spring Gala, held on May 4 at Royal Ashburn Golf Club. Through your generous contribution and the support of our outstanding community, the event was a great success. The gala raised over $40,000, which will enable the club to continue to support its many local and international causes. The next big event for the club is the 4th Annual Rotary Rib Fest to be held in Palmer Park on July 26, 27 and 28. Hope to see you there. Respectfully yours, Terry Coyne, Rotary Club President Joanne Fowler, Rotary Gala Chairperson Two massive THUMBS DOWN to obscenely loud motorcycles Dear Editor There are traffic laws against unnecessary noise, and the loud exhaust pipes on many motorcycles must exceed the decibel limits allowable by law. And if riders believe that they need to be heard to be safe – twist your exhausts forwards so that the sound travels out in front of you instead of letting us know that you’ve been there after you’ve passed.
