Reaching Out

The District of Muskoka's Outreach Program invites yu to a meeting at the Dwight Public Library, Nov. 22, at 3.30 p.m.

The goal is to bring district social services and programs to the Township and to work to determine the needs in the community and assist in meeting and planning for these needs.

There are many programs available to the people in need, and the object is to make people aware of the services.

They are looking for representation from the following community members or service agencies to form a subcommittee:  School; seniors' organizations; families; service organizations such as the Lions Club. 

Everyone is welcome to attend, so please come out and bring your ideas!
