Destination Imagination fundraising for the Students of DWKS, who took gold in our region and are now moving on to the global finals in Tennessee, was kicked off at George’s Bar in Chichester on St. Patrick’s Day. Two support workers from DWKS, Kerry Tallon and Brittany Goldberg, were on hand to collect the donations. John Brennan of Sheenboro donated a night’s stay at the cabin on Brennan’s Bluff. A donation to this worthy cause will give you a chance to win this beautiful scenic stay on the Bluff. The students still have a long way to go to meet their goal but I believe they are off to a great start with a generous crowd who were celebrating St. Paddy’s Day at George’s Bar.
Congratulations to the Fort Coulonge Comets who won the league cup and also won their final tournament on the weekend in Ottawa. Pontiac West has five players playing for the Comets, Brody Meehan of Sheenboro, Andrew Gaudette, Cole Venasse and Brody Fleury of Chichester and Ryan Carroll of Allumette Island. “Tip of the hat” to all the Comet players.
