We would like to thank Debbie Bradley for both her informative workshops on using a digital camera and downloading the pictures into our computers. I just hope I can remember enough to actually do it right.

Congratulations to the Boothby girls, Wendy, Kim, Jennifer and Sonya, for a very successful fundraising dance for the Canadian Cancer Society at the community centre. They would like to thank everyone who attended and gave their support.

Many thanks to the members of the Dwight Lions Club who cleaned up the litter on both sides of Hwys. 60 and 35 that go through town, for a total of 15 kilometres. Let’s try to keep it clean.

Many happy returns to Dave Sykes, Jeff Sykes, George Gregory, Joe Lindsay, Isabel Coulter, Lois McCutcheon, Hailey Boothby and my husband Bob, who all have early May birthdays.
