Once again our Women’s Group of Burnt River United Church are inviting the community and surrounds to join us in an evening of worship at our church in Burnt River. Our speaker for the occasion will be from the KAWARTHA LAKES HOSPICE ORGANIZATION. The volunteers of this organization work with families needing grief counselling, and with palliative care patients throughout our area, and we felt we would like to know more about this very needed work they do. Lunch will be served after.

A Special Thank you
to those responsible for the building of the community skating rink and its maintenance. The weather as usual did not quite co-operate but the skaters from as far as Lindsay enjoyed the great ice.

B. R. Blooms Update
Burnt River Blooms wishes to thank all participants of our Chili Cook-Off, the Competitors, the Advertisers, those who volunteered or were drafted into helping, those who donated prizes for our TOONIE draw and Door Prize and all who came to our event to support us.

We hope everyone enjoyed this event.
