Dear Editor, asn‘t that a party! On Saturday April 29th the Paisley Chamber of Commerce hosted a W celebration party for the community at the Paisley Legion as a Thank You for all of the efforts by many individuals to help save Paisley Central School. This free event was literally a night to let our hair down and enjoy the accomplishments. Rob Elder and the Shedshakers provided amazing music that kept the crowd entertained. Many businesses and individuals donated delicious food. Thank You Paisley Chamber of Commerce; it truly was a Paisley and area community event. As we begin the next chapter to secure the future of our school we hope that the commu- nity will continue to stay engaged. At the time of writing this article, there have been no meetings scheduled between Arran-Elderslie and the BWDSB to start the negotiation proc- ess. As developments occur we will work to keep everyone aware. Sincerely, Dale & Sheryl Steinhoff

Dear Editor,

e would like to give a sincere Thank You to Craig and Mary Ellen Budreau and family for all of their hard work and dedication towards the Paisley Advo- W cate. For the past 12 years you have put in many hours to ensure that the residents of Paisley and area received a truly local paper every month. Our paper has literally travelled to many destinations in the world. In this day and age it‘s not many villages and towns in Ontario that receive a free newspaper that is pro- duced by 100% volunteer staff. We hope that you will enjoy your next chapter that life brings to you. In addition, Thank You to Joyce Craddock for assuming the role of editor and to Janice Rankin as financial officer. We know that both of you ladies will do an awesome job. Sincerely, Dale & Sheryl Steinhoff
