If you don't have a computer, why not take advantage of the one at Forbes hall during the Library hours or Soup's On. There's sure to be someone there you can ask for a bit of help to check if you are on the voters list for October 19th to exercise your right to vote.

Coming to a Community Hall Near You ~

Community Dinners on a few Saturday nights through the fall, winter and early spring. 

Several familiar cooks got together to come up with several evenings of good food for our friends and neighbours.  Often groups organize events and then cooks are found.  We felt that having the cooks initiate some dinners would elevate the dining experience.   Each dinner will have a menu planned, executed & served to create a dining out experience at Forbes Hall.  A portion of every ticket sold will go to TICA. 

As we get nearer to the first dinner on October 24^th, reservation information, including menu details will be posted.

Looking forward to cooking some awesome meals!
