Please take a moment to consider the request from Hailey Rodgers, a young Woman from Westport

I received this email from Hailey Rodgers. She is a Westport young woman who needs some support to launch a book she has written. Many of you in the Village know Hailey and her Father.
Please consider giving her a helping hand.

From: Hailey Rodgers <16hpr@queensu.ca>
Date: Sunday, August 4, 2019
Subject: Hailey Rodgers Local Author from Westport Ontario
Hi there,
My name is Hailey Rodgers, I am 19 years old, and I am going into my third year of Commerce at Queen’s University. I personally wanted to share with you that for the past 7 months I’ve been working on a book.
New Degree Press, my book publisher, has officially approved my manuscript for publication. I’ll be launching my book in December 2019. I am so excited to be a local author.
My book is about authenticity and unconventionality in young adults. I wrote this book because I believe every human being is exceptional and I believe that as a young adult, it is the hardest time to believe that about yourself. I have discovered key principles throughout my journey as a young adult along with the incredible stories of others on how we can all embrace our inner weirdness and be inspired to live an authentic life.
Before I can launch my book, my publisher wants to see momentum through a pre-sale campaign. The pre-sale campaign will fund the costs to publish my book. I need to sell 100 copies of my book in the next 30 days.
I’d love for your business to support my campaign. By doing so you will receive various perks including recognition in the acknowledgements and more. Simply go to https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/see-me-by-hailey-rodgers#/ and you can pre-order a copy of my book there.
I could not have done this without the amazing support I have received thus far from the Westport community. This project has been an incredible passion of mine and I am so excited to get my message out there.
I thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Hailey Rodgers

What you missed if you weren’t at Committee of the Whole on Tuesday…

A few highlights of the meeting include:

Committee of the Whole supported the recommendation from Staff to put a heavy truck restriction on Bedford St from Concession to Main St in an effort to reduce the load on the street.  Council will make its final decision at Council on August 6.

Due to many complaints this past year of motor vehicles, including 4 wheelers driving through Lockwood Park, Committee of the Whole has supported a new by-law prohibiting any motor vehicles in the park with the exception of service vehicles.

Committee of the Whole directed Staff to publish Requests for Proposal for winter maintenance (snow removal) 2019-22.

End of summer pot luck is being planned by Town Hall for Sunday, September 1 on Church St from Bedford to Spring.  It will begin at 5:30 p.m. and everyone is invited – locals, visitors, cottagers.  We want to wrap up summer as a community.

Staff will be providing information about the changes to the Waste and Recycling program, which go into effect on September 1.  Hydro meter reading will soon be done electronically for all smart meters.

 

Council next meets on Tuesday, August 6 @ 6:00 p.m.

St Paul’s summer service & pot luck in Lockwood park

St Paul’s Anglican Church held its Sunday service in the park today (July 7).  The parishioners loved being outdoors and improvised skit in lieu of the formal sermon under the direction of Dr Ward, their priest. A pot luck followed the service and then onto the entertainment including another skit and “name that tune” game.

If you are interested in having your family, church or community organization picnic or gathering in the park, please contact Patti Mueller – pmueller@villageofwestport.ca to book the stage area.
