New LED lighting in Ianson Park

Dear Editor

There was an official opening and ribbon cutting by Scugog Mayor Wilma Wotten at Ianson Park on Monday June 29 as the Greenbank Hall and Park Board along with the Township of Scugog, celebrated the completion of their new LED lighting system. 

Many thanks go out to all those who supported this wonderful project. Greenbank now has a modern, safe and efficient lighting system for all our baseball players. This positive partnership included additional donations by the Greenbank Gamblers Fastball Alumni, the Greenbank Community Association Inc., the Greenbank Lions, Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation, the Retired Teachers of Ontario as well as local individuals. It is certainly admirable when a small community can focus on a specific goal and pull together to achieve such an amazing result. 

A community celebration of this opening will be held during the annual Mixed 3 Pitch Baseball Tournament in September this year.

Poppy Project – Want to help attach?

Dear Editor

I would like to take this opportunity to thank EVERYONE who has participated in the Poppy Project.

To date I have collected over 8,000 knitted and crocheted poppies!

At this point I would ask that anyone who is still knitting or crocheting to drop them off at Branching Out and to hold off making anymore until all the current ones have been attached to the netting!

If you are available to help with attaching the poppies I will be at the Port Perry Legion, 484 Bay St., Port Perry on Thursday August 13 and Friday August 14 from 10 a.m. – noon.

As well I will be at the Scugog Memorial Public Library, 231 Water St., Port Perry, on Thursday August 20 from 4 p.m. – 7 p.m.

For updates, check out Poppy Project on Facebook.

Again thank you to this amazing community for all the support!

Sincerely,

Sharon Runnalls
