Ladies
and Gentlemen
A quieter
week as Midland steps towards Christmas. The Town Christmas tree is now lit.
Out of the Cold has again opened its doors for our homeless citizens. The Salvation
Army has placed its kettles in the stores. Can snow be far off?
The YMCA is organizing
its annual “Gifts to Give” event. If you have any good quality items (except
clothing and furniture) that you would think of re-gifting to others, you can
donate them to the event at the YMCA offices at 334 King Street. They will be
receiving gifts during the periods November 19th to 23rd and November
26th to 30th from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm and on Saturdays
November 24th and December 1st from 10 am to 1:30 pm.
Then
on Monday December the 3rd from 9:00 am to 11:00 am at the NSSRC,
the YMCA will offer your gifts to needy families who want to give a gift to
their loved ones, but do not have the means to buy their own.
On Tuesday November 20th
at Town Hall at 6:00 pm, we will receive the second draft operating and capital
budget. Our 2013 budget should be ready for Council approval in December.
Thursday November the 22nd,
the YMCA Employment Centre hosts its annual Peaceworks awards ceremony. These
awards honor those who have made a significant contribution to making Midland a
better place for all. The ceremony takes
place at their office at 334 King Street starting at 7:00 pm.
The evening of the 22nd
is also the Rotary TV auction. This popular
annual event is one the major fund raisers for our Midland Rotary club, a great
service club that does so much for our community. The bidding opens on-line on
the 19th of November and wraps up with the TV broadcast on the 22nd.

Every time I visit our new
Cultural Centre I become more convinced it is one of the best things that has
ever happened to our Town. You have another chance to visit Midland’s exciting
cultural centre on Friday November 23rd when “Red Chamber” performs
starting at 7:30 pm. These performances are brought to us by John French’s
Brookside Music. Tickets are available at the MCC or on-line at http://midlandculturalcentre.com/
This Saturday November 24th
you are invited to attend the opening for the new expansion at the Georgian Bay
Native Friendship Centre. The ceremonies
start at 2:30 pm.
