With a provincial election possible, the Perth-Wellington NDP has organized a fundraising social and auction for tomorrow at 7:00pm.

There will be tea and coffee for some and a cash bar for others. Admission is ten dollars at the door.

A strike at the Liquor Control Board of Ontario has been averted.
