Parting thoughts

The Windsor Spitfires Foundation is set to host the first-ever “Breakfast with the Spits” on Saturday, September 29th, in support of the 2013 International Children’s Games (ICG) to be held in Windsor. The Spitfires have a busy weekend with a road game on Friday in Mississauga against the Steelheads. On Sunday, the team is at home to the Sudbury Wolves.

The Downtown Mission of Windsor is in dire need of canned goods and non-perishable items at this time of year, and the Spits are asking their fans to dig deep and give generously tonight.
