Birthday wishes go out today to my Tromper buddy, David "Doc" Jewett. All the best my friend.

The Optimists donated $1,000 for a table at the annual Food4Kids banquet this morning and Mardi and I were privileged to attend.
The food is donated by vendors promoting their product so the proceeds from this huge event............
............all go towards the charity.
Food4Kids has taken on the task of feeding 1,700 hungry kids every weekend. The kids get fed at school during the week, but when the founder discovered a 10 year old waiting for his school to open Monday morning because he hadn't had food all weekend she vowed to do something about it.
Parcels of food are delivered to the schools on Fridays which the kids take home for the weekend. We are proud to assist This is one of the things that your support of our Turkey Roll helps to make happen.
The keynote speaker was Tom Wilson - musician, artist and author, who discovered late in life that he had been a victim of the "sixties scoop" and taken from the reservation and adopted by a Hamilton family.
An inspirational morning!

Stay well.
