'Strays on Street Corners' - supporting the Windsor Essex County Humane Society will be happening July 25 - 27.

Volunteers will be at various corners throughout Windsor and Essex County accepting donations from cars passing by. In exchange, donors will be given a "Woof Street Journal." (This event is similar to the Good Fellow newspapers campaign in the winter...)

This event requires 200+ volunteers. All you need to sign up for is one 2hr shift. You can even get a group of friends and "own a corner."

This is one of the biggest fundraisers of the year for the Humane Society and supports so many animals in our community in so many ways.

Sign up for a shift today! OR If you see our volunteers out that weekend, please donate!

For Professor Lowenthal, there's no need to look beyond the ideals of Socrates. But will Socratic ideals hold up when a bust of Socrates turns into an ideal weapon and ethical debate turns into ethical dilemma? What happens when life and death and tenure and grades hang in the balance and everyone's a philosopher all of a sudden, even the detective on the case? Directed by Lisa Morris, the play runs from November 28 to December 14 at the Pinnacle Playhouse. 8:00pm on select evenings and 2:00pm on Sundays. Adults $20, Seniors $18, Students $10. For tickets visit www.bellevilletheatreguild.ca or call 613-967-1442.

Playwright John Patrick Shanley has a knack for storytelling and this quirky Irish love story is both bittersweet and deliciously funny. Two generations of the Reillys and Muldoons, farming families in modern-day rural Ireland who live side by side, harbour a lingering grudge over a tiny parcel of land between them that could threaten the happiness of their children. Directed by Liz Marshall, the play runs from October 3 to 19 at the Pinnacle Playhouse. 8:00pm on select evenings and 2:00pm on Sundays. Adults $20, Seniors $18, Students $10.
