My Hospital Stay

Dear Editor

There is so much hatred in our world today, but here in Port Perry, we are just the opposite. We are so fortunate to have our hospital with our wonderful nurses, doctors and volunteers. There are not enough words for me to say ‘thank you’ to all of you for the care, attention and love I received, during my eight-day stay in April. During that time, I also observed the way you treated difficult patients in the same manner. We are truly blessed here.

Thumbs Up

Dear Editor

I wanted to take a moment and thank the person who found my important letter, early May, that I lost between errands and mailed it for me. It got there in 3 days.  “A small town mercy”.

WOW, the most ever so far!

Dear MaryAnn,

The Church Chicks would like to thank everyone for coming out to the Port Perry Easter Bonnet Contest! We were so thankful to have a beautiful day for our event which brought out a big crowd – we had our most participants ever – 203! We are proud to say that this is always a free event for the township, however $1000.60 was raised by free-will donation for the Operation Scugog Food Bank.

The creativity in our town is staggering and this year was no exception. Our judges, Mayor Wilma Wotten, Councillor Janna Guido and Scugog Fire Chief Michael Matthews really had a hard job to do and they should be commended on a job well done. 

Many thanks to you and your staff MaryAnn for your generous sponsorship along with Karen Staniland at The Kid’s Cupboard. Additionally we would like to thank Ken Koury at The Nutty Chocolatier for his amazing Belgian chocolate bunnies and Roughley Insurance for their advertising of our event.

Is this town great or what!

With thanks,

Pam Hollett & Melissa Durward

Best by far

Dear Editor

The 80th Anniversary of Victory in Europe service, held on Thursday May 8 in Port Perry was quite a success.

The time and effort by Service Officer Paul Breeze and Major Mark Hlozan was evident.

It was great to see so many community residents turn up in support of those who sacrificed for us.  I thought having the SkyHawks support this was quite spectacular. I have seen them at several air shows but this was the best by far.

Thank you again for a fantastic event.
