Organized by Rob Farah, TottenHUG was an opportunity for members of the community to come together, share a hug and a laugh, and forget about their winter woes. “Thank you to everyone who participated in the TottenHUG 2017,” said Farah. “By all accounts we had 185 Huggers come out to the Legion. Not bad for a cold snowy day. We managed to fill the back of a pick up truck with food bank donations. A few people deserve an extra HUG for helping me put this to- gether. Sean Bourke for entertaining us, Gary Brown and the Tottenham Legion, Len Mizzoni, Nobleton Tim Hortons for providing the coffee and hot chocolate, Dave Powrie, Kim and Scott Peters, the Tottenham Steam hockey team, and my wife Sue Farah. Also I’d like to thank our mayor Rick Milne, and councillors Chris Ross, Richard Norcross and Marc Biss for their support. I would also like to express my appreciation to everyone for making my granddaughter, Eloise, first birthday so memorable. When you all sang Happy Birthday to her it brought a lot of warmth to myself and family. Now it’s time to start planning TottenHUG 2018.” 11 Mill Street East 11 Mill Street East Tottenham, ON Tottenham, ON 905 936 9111 Pat Shannuna 905 936 9111 ORDAN &J SALES REPRESENTATIVES ItalianItalian Grille Grille www.timo.restaurantwww.timo.restaurant 905-729-3000 www.patjordan.ca Page 2 – February 9, 2017 – The TIMES Renowned Elmer Iseler Singers in concert at St. John’s For all of you who have the 2013 Ontario Premieres with an eclectic program for ano and is renowned for its ences for 20 years with all Paper Moon, 47 Vic- a love music, here is your Award for Excellence in the all to enjoy. pipe organ.
