“Community Gift Giving” program
Dear Editor
Hello, my name is Jillian Howsam, I am an Independent Sales Consultant with Mary Kay Cosmetics and am participating in the “Community Gift Giving” program in partnership with the Port Perry Place LTC Home.
We have adopted the Port Perry Place LTC Home and along with your support, will provide each resident with a Christmas gift. Please join us in this wonderful program to aid in ensuring that each resident at the Port Perry Place LTC Home will have a gift to open this festive season.
Each gift will be a memorable gift that will be wrapped in a beautiful Christmas bag with a card attached from you. The cost of each gift is $20.00. Cheques can be made out to “Community Gift Giving Program”. We will issue a receipt that can be used for advertising and promotion only. All gifts will be delivered to the residents on Christmas morning.
Thank you for helping to make this a bright Merry Christmas for the residents of the Port Perry Place LTC Home.
Thank you,
Jillian Howsam 905-432-5575 and
Janet Howsam 905-985-2253
We can’t say thanks enough
Dear Editor
It is truly amazing how generous and caring Port Perry has been to our Sunrise Beach on Scugog Island for all these years. We can never say thank you enough to the endless list of all the special individuals and businesses whose generosity made our ‘Annual Fun Day’, such a success.
So many spectacular events – ponies and face painting (Giddy-Up and Goofy Faces), the bag auction, bbq and corn roast (Colwell Farms), children’s and adults games, our challenging horseshoe tournament and the stupendous fireworks show at the end of the evening! And a double rainbow!!
Again, thank you so much everyone, for helping make our Fun Day ‘FUN’. You are the best!
Yours truly,
Linda L. Brown (Brownie), Courtney Bacon and
Rhona Bauer on behalf of the Sunrise Beach family.
Love our farming community
Dear Editor
Your request for a name of one of our young farmers made me think about how wonderful it is that we know so many in our farming community.
What a great fair we had in Blackstock on Saturday August 24! Perfect weather, lots of entries, a nice variety of vendors, some agriculture education, the horse pull, a great display by the Lake Scugog Historical Society and presentations by Theatre on the Ridge, and lots of fun activities for kids.
The derby followed by The Steven Waters Band capped off the day. We received so many positive comments. Makes it all worthwhile!
