CARE GALA RETURNING IN 2013
It’s not too early to be circling a date on the 2013 calendar – the second annual Care Gala presented by the Community Care Foundation will be held on Thursday, June 6, 2013 at Eganridge Inn, overlooking scenic Sturgeon Lake. Tickets will be on sale soon, but people can reserve theirs by calling the Foundation at 705-324-7323, ext. 164. Last year’s initial Care Gala was sold out and Foundation volunteers are looking forward to presenting another entertaining and successful event. Proceeds raised will support Community Care programs and services.
HOSPICE LABYRINTH ALIVE WITH COLOUR
The labyrinth walking path at Hospice Services (112 McLaughlin Rd., Lindsay) is looking beautiful, thanks to the contributions of many generous supporters who responded to Community Care’s invitation to help decorate the area with trees, shrubs, flowers and plants. The support of the following individuals and groups is much appreciated:
Internationally-acclaimed musical artist Debbie Danbrook leads walkers through the labyrinth at the path's dedication ceremony. Funds raised to purchase plantings for the labyrinth support the Community Care Foundation.

The labyrinth at Hospice is designed to be a place of comfort and contemplation for one and all. The labyrinth garden is a gift to the community from many volunteers and supporters who have worked hard to build and maintain the path. In addition, corporate support has been received from:
