HOWLAND AVENUE -- WHO IS THAT STREET NAMED AFTER? Historical talk on the street's namesake and what is its connection with a gun-toting federal agent in Wellington County. If you really get into the Howland family and their effect on Toronto, we have a book at the Tollkeeper's Cottage, 'Mayor Howland', that you might care to read.

For members, the AGM is on Sunday, September 17, at 2 pm.--not too late to join Cake! Garden tour!
