Penny's owner Karen Cummings writes: "I owe the Port Frank's Community Centre one pumpkin. Yes, I hate to admit it, but my dog is a thief. While voting at the advanced poll earlier today, Penny picked a pumpkin from the bed by the library entrance and wouldn't let it go. I can only suspect her motives. Maybe she wanted me to vote NDP ...or maybe she just wants pumpkin pie ...but she carried it all the way home. I promise I'll either bring it back (but I can't guarantee the condition) or bring you a new one. Sincerely, Penny the Pumpkin Picker's perplexed parent." Well, Penny doesn't look very remorseful but that's ok - everyone forgives you Penny! Good Girl Penny! (Thanks Karen for replacing the pumpkin!)  A great start to our new year - welcoming a new executive and board! Click on the picture below for more. . .  That's right! October 1st marks the beginning of a new year in Optimism! We are excited to be hosting a zone meeting this evening as our first general dinner meeting of the new year, welcoming in our new executive board members and launching 2019-2020!   |
