Another resounding success! As a result of all the donations and volunteer hours, we raised $3,000 and will have more coming in as we sell some items on line over the coming year.
We were also able to donate to Ukrainian refugees settling in Brighton, the Brighton thrift stores, and a vintage parachute went to the Air Force Museum in Trenton.
Our organizing team of Lynn Marshall, Diane Baxter, Anne Pennell, Jane Leung, Julie Rickard and Fran Mason are already planning for next year!

Perfection on Wednesday Morning! Judd Gilks and George Ennis scored a 6 ender in the 2 person Wednesday morning league on March 2nd. They were down early 5 – 0, then scored 2 and followed that up with the six-ender. Judd was shooting and George was skipping. They finished the game by adding one in the 6th end.
They report that their opponents were gracious and good sports!
We are a friendly bunch.
