Deepest sympathy is extended to the family of Helen MacKechnie as she passed away on June 5 in her 89th year. Helen was a wonderful woman and a pillar of our community. Our prayers are with her loved ones at this sad time.
We were shocked and saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Willie Kovacs over the weekend. Many of us have been reminiscing and sharing stories of Willie as he was so well liked and respected in our community. He will be dearly missed.
Kudos to the Canada Day Committee on hosting a delicious Spaghetti Supper fundraiser last week at Onslow School. There was a great crowd out to enjoy the meal and the visit. They raffled off a gift basket and it was won by Cecile Dumont. We are all looking forward to the festivities and fireworks on June 30.
The Quyon Lionettes held their Duck Raffle on Sunday afternoon. With the high water and debris from the flooding this spring they were unable to put the ducks in the Quyon River again this year, unfortunately. The tickets were instead all put into a draw and the lucky ducks were chosen at random. First place and $1,000 was won by Lois Dumouchel. The second prize of $500 went to Greg Hayes and third place of $250 was won by Benji Ramsay. All of the money raised will be donated by the Lionettes to Onslow School and St. Mary’s School.
Happy anniversary to Don and Bev Stanley as they celebrated on June 7. Anniversary wishes are also going out to Laurie and Mona MacKechnie on June 11.
Happy birthday to Chelsea Lapierre who celebrates today. Best wishes to everyone celebrating this week.
A big shout out to Oliver Schwartz as he received his black belt at Douvris Martial Arts in Aylmer on June 2. Two years of hard work has paid off. Way to go Oliver. His sister Annie will be up next as she has achieved her brown belt. Their family and friends are very proud of them.
The Pontiac Artists Tour kicked off this past weekend and while there are no stops in town this year Quyon’s own Cheryl Dolan is one of the artists being featured at the Little Red Wagon Winery in Shawville. If you missed out last weekend you have another chance as the tour continues this coming weekend. It is always a wonderful opportunity to see the amazing creations and to get a chance to speak with the artists. Be sure to check it out.
Wishing all of the dads a wonderful Father’s Day weekend. Fingers crossed the weather will be good for fishing, golfing and barbeques. Enjoy.
