Bathurst Rotary Club teaming up with Max 104.9 received almost 5000 items valued at $2.00 each which amounts to $10,000 worth of food plus cash donations of almost $900.
This amount exceeds the 2014 figure. The items will be distributed among the Bathurst, Petit Rocher, and Allardville food banks.
Thank-you Bathurst and surrounding areas for your generosity and for all the great volunteers there that day including several BHS students.
The Spirit of Christmas is into its 8th year with the never ending need of support to our seniors with the number one being the visit to each individual home. Each year the Spirit of Christmas visits over 200 homes in the Bathurst and surrounding communities to assist seniors with a few treats, home baking and groceries to assist them through the cold winter months. Staff members at several Anglophone North Schools have also adopted nursing homes in the area to provide small wrapped gifts that residence can open together on Christmas morning bringing back some of the tradition of the Christmas Holiday
Audrey encouraged the Rotary members to attend the Christmas concert in support of the Spirit of Christmas and the local SPCA on November the 28th and 29th.

Just a quick update about the Rotary Community Garden. We had a great day yesterday with the best turnout yet working at the garden. Thanks to Cletus for arranging the delivery of crushed rock that was donated by St Isidore Asphalt. With the help of Brent Stever operating Bruce’s tractor, Bruce, Bruce’s son Gabo, Lloyd, Ron, Gerry, Paul, Irenee’s brother Gilles and of course our master gardener Irenee; we managed to get the job done. A big thank for the hard work of all of those who participated; and I know many of you would have been there if it wasn’t for work commitments.
Hats off to Lina Hebert, a local senior who came out and raked and shoveled just like a young kid. By the way, her mother is 106 years old, so we should be good for a while. The garden is looking fabulous and will be ready to double next year’s crop.
Another big thank you to Calvin Scott from Scotts Nursery who dropped by and told us he will be donating to the club all our tomato plants, cucumbers and various seeds for next year. He will also be ordering two flowering crab apple trees from which we can produce crab apple jelly. These trees will be planted this fall.
Kudos to Gerry Legere’s wife Diane who made 24 bottles of chow with our left over green tomatoes and onion, and dropped them off at the Foodbank, very thoughtful !
That’s it for now folks; and again thanks to everyone who helped make this very worth while project a reality !
