The Chatham-Kent Film Group presents Mary Shelley tonight on the big screen at the Chatham Capitol Theatre.

Show times are 4 and 7. Tickets are available for $10 prior to each screening.

The Chatham Goodfellows Annual Porchlight Campaign is tonight.

Volunteers will be making their rounds — collecting donations of money, food, and toys tonight. Leave your porchlight on if you have a donation. Volunteers will be clearly identified.

The volunteers will be leaving from the Spirit and Life Centre at 5:30. The money collected will be used to purchase toys and food that will go out in the Goodfellows’ Christmas baskets.

Former President George H.W. Bush died Friday at his home in Houston, surrounded by family and friends. He was 94. He’d been dealing with several health problems, including a form of Parkinson’s.

His last words were, “I love you, too,” in a phone call to his son George W. His wife Barbara died this past April.

Bush will lie in state at the U.S. Capitol before a memorial service at the National Cathedral in Washington. There will be a second memorial in Houston.

He only served one term as President and was defeated by Bill Clinton in 1992.

George H. W. Bush’s exemplary service and deep commitment to his country informed everything he accomplished over his decades in public life. Sophie and I offer our condolences to his family and the American people on his passing.
