the recipient, and a tax receipt is issued for your kind donation, for a minimum donation of
$10.00.
Please visit our website or call the Foundation office at 847-1131, ext. 1124 .
Also, a gift set of 8 cards & envelopes are available from the Foundation office for $20.00.
Do you like to have fun, decorate, connect with people and most importantly
LOVE CHOCOLATE??
The Foundation is in the early stages of planning a signature event to fundraise for
Kennebec Manor and Kings Way Care Centre. This will be a “multi-course chocolate
tasting” from various restaurants and bakeries from the Greater Saint John area.
This event will be on Saturday, October 25th at the Saint John Trade & Convention
Centre. If you would like to participate in the planning of this “One Of A Kind” event in
New Brunswick, please contact Kim at 847-1131, ext. 1124
Highs & Lows of GardeningHighs & Lows of GardeningHighs & Lows of GardeningHighs & Lows of Gardening
This is our third year of planting at the QPlex Community Garden. In early June, approx. 18-20 tomato plants were planted in various varieties. Unfortunately, tropical storm Arthur brought with it a blight and damaged many tomato plants in our region, including all at the Qplex……very disappointing to our residents and our Adult Day Centre participants upon the discovery.
In an effort to replant, we contacted Alan Reynolds who is a neighbour of Kings Way Care Centre to see if he had any plants that we could purchase. He very generously donated three cherry tomato plants along with some flowers that have been transplanted in the raised beds.
Thank you Alan, for your generosity and hopefully towards the end of summer we will be eating tomatoes once again!
