Suspicious Boat Activity - Handheld LED spotlight

As there have been quite a few e spokes postings about suspicious boat thefts at night, I thought I would pass on some information about an item we recently purchased at Canadian Tire. It's a rechargeable handheld LED spotlight with a range of 160 meters. It's easy to use, weighs very little and shines a steady bright light. On sale for $14 till Thursday. Maybe one of us can finally surprise this boat and get a good look at the person(s) who have been targeting our island recently!

Looking for Items for School

Our school is looking for exercise resistance bands, tennis balls, and doll house accessories in fair shape. The tennis balls will be put on the end of chair legs to reduce 
noise, and the resistance band will be used as a fidget tool, so they don't have to be brand new. If you have
any of these items, please contact me to arrange pick up, or drop them off at the school anytime between 8:30 am and 2:15 pm

Thank you so much,
