SABDA (St. Ann’s Bay Development Association) has a new page on its web site where you can exchange skills and knowledge with others in the community. Visit http://sabda.groupenterprise.com for details. If you have trouble accessing the site, please contact Loreto at sabda_info@fastmail.fm.

North Shore Kitchen Party: The Kitchen Parties at the Gaelic Singers Hall are finished for the season but will resume in the fall – stay tuned and keep on playing and singing all summer!

Terry Fox Merchandise Policy: The profit margin on Terry Fox merchandise is very slim and when unsold items are returned, it further reduces that margin. The organization is dedicated to maximizing contributions to cancer research so a “no return” policy was introduced last year. You can still order t-shirts/sweat shirts and other merchandise directly from the Terry Fox Foundation on line (www.terryfoxrun.org). Online ordering allows for speedy and early delivery and participants are encouraged to wear the t-shirts well in advance of the September events. Terry’s Team t-shirts will continue to be mailed directly to registered members. For further information/questions, contact Co-ordinator Barb Tower at don.tower@ns.sympatico.ca or phone 929-2037.

Terry’s Team Registration: In previous years the Community Co-ordinator has contacted cancer survivors directly to register as members of Terry’s Team. This has resulted in some people being missed or delays in registration and receiving t-shirts. In order to ensure that those who wish to participate are registered on time, please contact Co-ordinator Barb Tower at 929-2037 or don.tower@ns.sympatico.ca.
