This Sunday, Nov. 21, and every Sunday until and including December 19, the Legion will be open for Sunday brunch from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Then from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., the kitchen will be open for menu dishes. Live entertainment 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. – the Legion will have the best of local bands for your enjoyment. This Sunday: Half Cut and The Slackers. There’s a $5 cover charge at the door.

Christmas is coming, and due to COVID-19, our local food bank needs your help more than ever. The food bank distributes to more than 200 families and individuals on a biweekly basis in the Pender Harbour and Egmont areas.

The next two months the proceeds from the extremely popular Rotary 50/50 draw will go to the Pender Harbour Food Bank. The monthly draws have raised thousands of dollars that have helped numerous projects throughout our community during these pandemic times.

This year, the 50/50 draw has supported the Pender Harbour Community School and Learning Centre, the PH Reading Centre, the Madeira Park public washroom renovations and Serendipity Daycare. Let’s all play! We all win! You can win cash and our communities’ most vulnerable receive much needed support. Order your tickets today!

The Rotary folks are always ready to help. Although they were tired from all the work put in for Remembrance Day, the very next day, Bill, Lyn, Niels, and Ian put up the Christmas decorations and lights at the Hall – far ahead of the usual time but just in time for our Christmas Faire the next day. Enormous thank you!

The Christmas Faire at the Hall was a fantastic, heartwarming success, full of community spirit. Thanks to all the vendors, exhibitors, entertainers and good folks who attended. Messages the following morning were wonderful, many saying  ‘we had so much fun! Can we do it again in December?’ Very persuasive. How can I say no?

As I prepare this column, heavy weather is taking a toll throughout the province and here on the Coast. I am looking out the window at this beautiful but worrisome new waterfall cascading down the face of Mount Daniel. Stay safe everyone.
