The family of Cliff Rupert, who passed away on Jan. 25, invites you to a special public skate at the Centennial Centre on Sunday, March 2 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Since Cliff was an avid Toronto Maple Leafs fan, the family is requesting everyone to wear the blue and white colours of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Admission is by a non-perishable food item for the Salvation Army Food Bank. Pass the word and let’s celebrate the life and memories of Cliff Rupert.

The Men’s Christian Fellowship Breakfast will be held on Saturday, March 8, at 8 a.m. at St. Paul’s Roman Catholic Church Hall with guest speaker Brad Fraser, an electrician from Kilworthy.

Until next week, remember: Cats are smarter than dogs. You can’t get eight cats to pull a sled through snow.
