CHIP program returns On Saturday, August 28, Creemore Springs will host the Copper Kettle Festival, a day of fun and frivolity in Creemore. In keeping with last year’s activities, Nitetis Lodge of Creemore is sponsoring the CHIP (Children’s Identification Program). How often do we read or hear of missing children? This is an opportunity to prevent the possibility of it occurring. The CHIP process is for children of all ages and takes only a few minutes to complete. A photo is taken of the child, along with a voice recording, fingerprints, dental impression, a saliva swab, and the child’s height, weight and eye colour. The information is then put on a CD and given to the child’s parent or guardian, for easy access should they need it quickly. Only one copy of the CD is made and the information is removed from the computer immediately. This service is undertaken by the Masonic Lodge of Creemore, and is entirely without cost to the participants. On Saturday, August 28, the CHIP program will be set up at the Sovereign Restaurant from 10 am to 5 pm. For more information, email equine555@yahoo.com or call Bill Thomas at 466-3705.
HELPING MAKE MIRACLES HAPPEN The kids of darci que’s Art Camp – from left to right, Caleb, Charlie, Joslyn, Troy, Cole, Kalob, Courtney and Jackson – were excited to spend August 12 at Dairy Queen in Stayner to help out on Miracle Treat Day. Proceeds from Blizzards sold that day go to Sick Kids’ Hospital, and with darci’s help the kids provided face painting to other children visiting the store. Here, they’re seen with store owner Sherry Schaap. The fact that the kids were paid in ice cream, of course, made their smiles even bigger.
