Join Matthew for a light-hearted event. Expect a few short remarks and a brief reading followed by a signing. Donations will be collected for MDC (Muscular Dystrophy Canada) and presented to the Capreol Volunteer Fire Department (in September) as part of their Fight MD Boot Drive.

As you no doubt know, my new book Jerry Lewis Told Me I Was Going To Die is launching on Saturday, May 6th @ 2pm in the Capreol Curling Club. It should be a fun afternoon. But that's not the only bit of promotion I've got lined up. Thanks to…
