Attended YES’ Friends of the Shelter appreciation night on Wednesday.  The evening included a screening of “Family on the Edge”.  It’s a fantastic documentary that remind me why I am involved with the Shelter.  They do such good work.

The evening was wonderful.  It was a great opportunity to catch up with some people I haven’t seen for a long time and make some new acquaintances.

The debate will feature leaders of the three major political parties: Liberal Leader Dalton McGuinty, Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak and NDP Leader Andrea Horwath.

It will be moderated by Steve Paikin, host of the TVO current affairs program The Agenda.

The debate will have six rounds, with each featuring a head-to-head debate between two of the three party leaders.

In each round, two leaders will debate for six minutes. The third leader will then join the other two for a three-person debate for the subsequent eight minutes.

After the head-to-head debates, each leader will give closing statements.

Was lucky enough to win FREE tickets to be in the audience for a Bravo! taping of At the Concert Hall Featuring Lady Antebellum.  We were in the 5th row – there were only 6 rows!  It was a small, intimate setting.  The band was relaxed and fun and the music was fantastic.  What a great evening.  Watch it on Bravo! on Tuesday, November 1 at 9PM ET.

Lots of good local food and great deals today on Charlotte Street.  Chips & Dip from Parkhill on Hunter was my favorite treat of the day!

I’ve talked to a lot of people this week who asked if I do Quickbooks training.  The answer is: YES!  My goal is to help your business succeed.  If success means learning how to use Quickbooks so you can do your own bookkeeping, then I want to help you learn.

Attended the Chamber of Commerce Prosperity Tradeshow yesterday.  I thought I would just spend half an hour or so walking through the Morrow Building but I was still there three hours later!  If you’ve never been, it’s a really great opportunity to get familiar with some local businesses.  I thoroughly enjoyed talking to business owners and managers.   We’ve got lots of great things happening in Peterborough!  Remember the Chamber slogan – Keep your town in business by keeping your business in town!
