Happy Valentine’s Day

February 14, 2011February 14, 2011Mike Cluett

I know there are many of you who dont really subscribe to the whole “VALENTINE’S DAY” thing. I do though.

Its amazing to see the look on a loved ones face as they open up some flowers….say from Oceana Whispers on Charles Street, downtown Milton by the TD and Royal Canadian Legion. Judy has been hard at work for the last several weeks to ensure that she has THE best selection in flowers and the most perfect arrangements you can find for your loved ones.

As I write this, its about 230PM on Valentine’s Day…if you havent been able to get out give Judy a call (905) 878-6652 or drop by her store. She can work wonders for you and keep some of us out of the doghouse from time to time.

So guys, don’t waste anymore time and give Judy a call, email her judy@oceanawhispers.com or Twitter @oceanawhispers and get moving.

Family Day In Milton February 21 2011

February 8, 2011February 16, 2011Mike Cluett

As I sit here and go through my calendars (yes more than one) scheduling in meetings and other work related items, I just remembered that February 21st is Family Day (ie: a day off) We haven’t had a shortage of days off in February with our snow day last week and the PA Day’s from school…we have Family Day off. I’m sure that no one will send me an email complaining about that. Well, you never know.

From the Milton website, here is a listing of things to do on Family Day in Milton.

Between the Milton Leisure Centre, Milton Sports Centre and John Tonelli Arena there are lots of events for the family to enjoy. Family Yoga, Zumba (I have NO idea what that is, but it sounds like FUN) and dodge ball (Anthony would love that!) is going on at the Leisure Centre from 9AM to 12PM.

There will also be free public skating at John Tonelli Arena, sponsored by RBC, CIBC, and Halton MPP Ted Chudleigh.

Milton Community Resource Centre (MCRC) will also be having a FREE Mom & Baby Zumba event at 10AM at their location (410 Bronte Street South) Again, call the numbers to register as space will be limited.

Check out the schedule and get more details by calling the locations and pre-register (if necessary) and make Family Day in Milton on the 21st a great day.
