Last Thursday, the birthday club met at the Waltham Station. Ella Bayne was October’s birthday girl. Everyone enjoyed a tasty lunch and birthday cake.
A cheery hello is extended to our neighbour George Bayne, who is presently in the hospital. Our thoughts and payers are with him.

On Saturday evening, the children of Waltham enjoyed a well attended Halloween party at the Waltham Town Hall. Everyone had a great time.
Wow wasn’t that an amazing weekend we just had? I hope that everyone managed to enjoy the lovely summer like weather. The autumn leaves were in their full splendor displaying a panorama of colors on the beautiful Laurentian Mountains.
Warm birthday wishes are extended to Connie Andrews who is celebrating her birthday Oct. 28. Enjoy your special day Connie. Warm birthday wishes are extended to Shirley Morin who is celebrating on Oct. 31. We hope that you enjoy your special day as well as visits from the trick or treaters.
In Waltham this year, as in the past, many homes are decorated and lit up with pumpkins and all manner of ghostly and harvest images. What a strange and engaging fun time for the youth. It will be nice to see all the little ghosts and goblins enjoying Halloween.
The costumes are so cute and the children will be so excited, visiting all the neighbours, wearing costumes and believing that they are taking part in some special event. For a child, this taking on a different identity must seem magical. And of course there are the treats.
A note of caution to all drivers to be careful on this evening and to keep an eye out for all those little ghosts and goblins.
Happy Halloween everyone.
