I KNOW IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE MUCH, BUT THE WOOD SHOWN BELOW COST $60. AND IT WAS ALL I COULD GET IN MY TRUNK.

HOPING WE WILL GET 2-3 BONFIRES FROM IT.

WE CURRENTLY HAVE $17 IN THE BONFIRE FUND.

OUR NEXT BONFIRE WILL BE AUGUST 9 (WEATHER PERMITTING) AND I AM ASKING ALL ATTENDEES TO THROW $2 IN A JAR TO PAY FOR THIS WOOD AND FUTURE PURCHASES.  

I ALSO PURCHASED A LOG STACKER SET - $28. 

AND 4 2X4'S - $16.

SEE BELOW

I AM DONATING THE 2X4'S AND THE GREEN TARP.

IF ENOUGH IS COLLECTED TO PAY FOR THE LOG STACKER SET THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

Hi Gloria!

I hope all is going well at The Gallery. Up here at the lake we get all of Jean's phone blasts and it  seems that it's a very busy place. Busy up here too, with many items in need of repair. Yesterday we decided to take the afternoon off and go fishing. We caught this 10 lb 8 oz Northern Pike and had it for dinner. That's the largest fresh-water fish that any member of our family has ever caught.

Dear Gallery Residents,

We wanted to thank those of you who were able to join us at our Cruising for Care Classic Car Show Fundraiser, on Saturday! We loved seeing the community come together to celebrate timeless cars, great music, and to support our long-term care residents.

Your support made a real difference, and we’re delighted to share some of the highlights with you. Below is our event reel and a video put together by Halton Hills Online Radio, who were live at the event playing classic 50's & 60's tunes.

📸 Check out the event reel

 TO ALL GALLERY BLOG RECIPIENTS:

THERE HAS BEEN DIFFICULTY (AGAIN) WITH DELIVERING THE BLOG TO YOUR EMAIL.  I HAVE TRIED VARIOUS WAYS AND IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING WHEN I HAVE NOT CHANGED ANYTHING TO CAUSE THIS ISSUE.  

HANG IN THERE - I'M WORKING ON IT.

Earlier this year Gallery resident Brian Graville hand crafted a beautiful guitar (seen below) for his friend Jamie McPherson.  In return Brian asked if Jamie and his wife Joy (Side by Side) would perform a free concert for Gallery residents which they did on July 15.  

Jamie is twice Canadian National Banjo Champion, has performed with Peter Appleyard, Jeff Healey, CBC Canadian Air Farce and is a regular member of The Ragweed Jazzband and the Hot Five Jazzmakers. Joy is an accomplished accordian player and a life member of the Canadian Dance Teachers Association. For forty nine years she ran the Joy Booth School of Dancing. 

A crowd of approximately 45 people were singing and toe tapping along with many familiar tunes such as You Are My Sunshine - Peg of My Heart - Cheek to Cheek - and Bye, Bye Blackbird.

AT SOME TIME OVER THE WEEKEND A RESIDENT USED THE BBQ AND DID NOT CLEAN IT AFTER USE.  THIS IS VERY INCONSIDERATE OF OTHERS WHO SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CLEAN UP YOUR MESS!!

IT WAS DISCOVERED WHEN STARTING TO COOK FOR THE CANADA DAY BBQ.

THANKS TO DAVE BOWES FOR CLEANING IT - SEE LAST PICTURE BELOW.
