ir} a ; 2 kf 48 Water St., Port Perry, ON (905) 985-3767 Keep your gutters clean With the fall upon us, now is the time to clean your gutters. In order for gutters and downspouts to do their job, they must be clear of leaves and debris. If they aren't, drain outlets will dam up and rainwater will fill the gutters, overflow and eventually pull the gutters loose. Water that pools in troughs will rot wood gutters and rust sheet metal ones. Water trapped in gutters can cause major damage to your roof and walls, not to mention the fact that decaying plant matter in your gutters can smell horrible and stain the sides of your home. Have you gutters cleaned out more often if you home is located under trees, an and area with frequent storms or is a subject to a great deal of leaf and other debris. Not fun to do, but you can rest easier once you have cleaned them out!

The Durham Children’s Aid Foundation will be facilitating its first annual Superhero Walk on Sunday October 4. We are putting the call out to all Superheroes like the “100 Women Who Care” from the Scugog chapter, to come and help us make a huge impact! The Durham Superhero Walk is a 5 k fun walk that is open to all residents of Durham and for all ages. Our superheroes come in many shapes and sizes but they all follow Wonder Woman's “Amazon” code - govern yourselves with love, kindness and service to others. The Durham Superhero Walk supports our most vulnerable children in Durham region, those affili- ated with the Durham Children’s Aid Society. Held in the month of October to commemorate Child Abuse Prevention month, the Durham community is invited to come and participate in this annual event. Every child needs a superhero - from social workers, teachers, police officers, firefighters, para- medics to community champions like yourselves! The monies raised at this event will have a su- perhero impact: For $50 we can put together a 24 hour emergency care backpack for children in crisis For $100 we can put together a gift hamper for a child/ youth to help put hope back into their Holiday season (each hamper consists of new clothing, a toy and a grocery gift card) For $170 we can send one child to a week of summer camp and give them the “gift of play” For $1500 we can provide a bursary fora youthin care in support of their post-secondary journey. The Foundation would love to see you come out and show Durham Region the type of superheroes you truly are!
