Once again on World Polio Day October 24 2019, local Pizza Parlors donated a portion of their proceeds towards the Rotary and World Health Association objective of stamping out the last lingering traces of this ancient disease in Pakistan, Nigeria and Afghanistan. This year's contribution of $1600, tripled by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, will pay for 4 oral immunizations of 1200 children in those areas. Thanks to: Konstantino's, Andy's Place, Mike's Place, Steve's Pizzeria, Pizza Tonight, Godfather's Pizza, Original 2 Pizza, Boston Pizza, Quo Vadis Pizzeria, Pie Zano's, & Koka's Pizza.

Brad Langford introduced local entrepreneurs Frank and Wesley Thompson of Bayside Brewing Company. Frank and his wife along with 2 partners created Bayside and the inhouse restaurant in the historic but well-worn Lakeview Inn in Erieau in 2011. Frank had the inspiration for this kind of operation early on, but instead had a career in the family grain business. Since the opportunity arose, the operation has grown to a restaurant staff of 50, a sales team headed by son Wesley that supplies 100 restaurants across most of Ontario and have sold 420,000 liters of beer and 50,000 pizzas!
