BRIDGE
Bridge Group Announcement
Seeking a New Convenor for Our Beloved Bridge Group
We would like to take a moment to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Mildred, who has been our wonderful Convenor for Bridge for many years. Her dedication and generosity have truly enriched our community. In addition to her leadership, Mildred’s Bridge group graciously donated money a few years ago, allowing us to purchase our cherished piano, for which we will soon receive a commemorative plaque.
With Mildred planning to retire from Bridge at the end of this year, we are now searching for a new Convenor to continue this much-loved activity. If you are interested in organizing and leading our Bridge group, or if you know someone who might be, we would love to hear from you. Without a new Convenor, this could mark the end of an era for Bridge in our community.
If you are interested in taking on this role, please don’t hesitate to contact either Lynn or me by calling 705-361-1331, or feel free to drop by and speak with us directly.
Thank you very much for your consideration and for helping keep our Bridge tradition alive.

COMMUNITY EVENTS
I have someone dropping changes to me regarding our Community Events page of the Springwater News. Thank you! However, I have changed the information for the last few edits. Yes, there was a mail strike for a while; however, we did receive our paper from October 23rd without the changes I requested.
I wrote Linda at Springwater News.
I have made these corrections. I have been getting your submissions.
Linda Belcourt
I want to let you know that I am not being remiss in updating the paper and will meet with her next week to see what’s going on. Our Bingo and Mini Putt are still in the paper, and our new activities are not.
