Do you need assistance with technology related topics? On Wednesday Oct. 11 and Oct. 25 at 2:30 p.m. the Dorset branch of the Haliburton County Public Library is hosting Tech Time Rural Outreach.

This is a great opportunity to have any questions answered you may have about computers.

Drop by the Dorset Rec Centre on the Friday Oct. 6 PA Day for a fun-filled day full of games and arts and crafts to occupy your children’s time and to give you a break to get ready for Thanksgiving.

If you have young children you’re more than welcome to attend with them. Please bring a nut-free lunch and snacks. The event is from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

While you’re at the Rec Centre remember to cast your vote for the Scarecrow Contest!

The Winter Pantry is once again collecting non-perishable food for our winter food support program for Baysville and Dorset.

Collection boxes have been placed in the liquor stores in both towns.

As you are clearing out your cottage cupboards please keep us in mind.

We are happy to report that the Antique Car and Boat Show was successful this year and once again they are ready to assist us with funding the Winter Pantry and as well Norway Point Church also generously donated.

Without their support we would not be successful. However we also need your help with non-perishable food donations or if you would like to financially contribute please call Susan at 705-767-2205 or Heather at 705-767-1079.

Income tax receipts will be provided. Thank you so much for helping to support our residents during the winter season!
