When we speak of curlers and kids, we most often share news of our work in schools to promote curling. Our Applefest Dance Party volunteers found another way to connect curlers and kids. The 2022 Applefest Dance Party included a Silent Auction with half of the proceeds ($1150) going to School Food Programs.
Last year close to 6000 students in Northumberland County benefited from a breakfast, lunch, or snack program at school. These programs are open to all and promote healthy eating habits that will last a lifetime. You can learn more about the program here: Northumberland Food For Thought
In January, BDCC Board member Brian Hollingsworth presented our donation to the food programs at Brighton Public School ($500), Smithfield Public School ($325) and Spring Valley Public School ($325). Thanks to Jody Villeneuve and Jackie Naish for leading the way! The donations were very much appreciated by the staff, students and volunteers.
These are the local businesses who donated goods to the silent auction: MBA Sports; Deloitte; Willow Boutique; The Clan Shoppe; City Stasis; The Gables; Cozy Nibblers; Giant Tiger; Firing Time; County Emporium;McKesson; The Bird House; Pet Valu; Asham; Free Flow; G Boyd Boutique; Findings on King; Saliga; Rhonda Hough; A&W; Archer Farms; Napanee Home Hardware; 1812 Antiques and Gardens; Main Street Antiques & Furniture; Trenton Shoppers Drug Mart; Sunflower Health Foods.

With thanks to donations made in memory of Janine Dunk, Rocks and Rings came to Brighton this week. Over two days, about 300 students in Grades 4 to 8 learned the basics of our great game.
The students have been invited to come out and try the real thing. Judging from the excitement that was everywhere, it's likely we'll have some new Brighton Bobcats in the new year.
Thanks again so much to Sandra Dunk and her family for their support of our junior program.
