The Veteran’s Wall committee would like to remind you to visit the library and check the Book of Remembrance for any errors or omissions before the final edition is printed this summer. The names and photos of many local veterans are already in the book and the committee has received more to be added. This is your chance to see that all photos and names are included.

 The Lake of Bays Fire and Water Rescue committee and the volunteer firefighters invite everyone to see the new fireboat. It will be on display next Saturday, May 17 at the Dwight Shopping Plaza from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tour the fireboat, see the equipment display, meet the firefighters and enjoy a barbecue lunch.
