Friends, neighbors, things to do and the essential LRT selfie

Peter Neal of Leaside’s Neal Brothers Foods has posted a heartfelt expression of how pleased he is to have daughter Hanna home from school for a while. Here she is seen with mom Lara. Then, it’s time to check out Volume 1, Number 1 of the Ontario Lawn Bowling Association Newsletter. It is a fun read and offers tips to those recruiting for their club. “Remember that most bowlers join initially for the social and fun aspects, so make sure they get a warm social welcome.” For sure. For transit fans, there is surely nothing more tempting than a chance to get immortalized in front of a likeness of the as-yet-unbuilt Eglinton Station. That’s happening today at the Crosstown Photo Booth at the Eglinton Centre. If you live to the east, drop in Saturday, December 9, when the booth will be at the Eglinton Square Shopping Centre and you can be snapped in front of the future O’Connor Stop. Lower right, the energetic kids of Sarah and Claire’s Food Drive are hoping you will do just a bit more to reach the goal of 100,000 pounds of food for the Daily Bread Food Bank and Regent Park Community Food Centre.  Mom Lynda DeBono reminds everyone that we’re at 92,000 pounds. Please give. Finally, a reminder of the Laird in Focus meeting coming up next Tuesday.
