Scout camp cleanup Local Scouts held their Camp Clean-up for Camp Legewade on April 28. “We get as many volunteers as we can to come out and help clean up the kitchen, cabins, rake leaves, fix the road, cut firewood all to get it ready for a year of renting to Scouts Canada kids and like organizations,” says Christie Somerville-Freemark. “The camp is used for free for our Renfrew Scouting Groups and takes as many volunteers as we can get to help out. Seven members of the Greater Madawaska Township Volunteer Firefighters came out to help us, and Sparky too!” Special thanks for the hard work they do through the entire year goes out to Shaun Freemark, Ray Kane, Jacinda Villard and Bill Brydge and Reg Armonas who all put a lot of their free time into the camp all year, she says.

Donation from Eganville CWL and Knights of Columbus
The Catholic Womenʼs League (CWL) of St. James The Less Parish in Eganville and the Knights of Columbus joint fundraising committee hosted a fun trivia night at the church hall in March. Many gathered to support the event and prizes were awarded to the winning team. The outcome of the evening was a $500 donation to the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Digital Mammography Project to help offset the cost of the new state-of-the-art equipment and renovations, which have been completed. An open house event to showcase the unit took place on Arpil 10. On hand to make the cheque presentation to RVH Foundation Director of Development Barb Desilets in early April were CWL President Cecilia Curry and member Magdalene OʼReilly, as well as Grand Knight Claire Stapley, with members Adrian
Daley and Kevin Knox. Committee members missing from the cheque presentation were Elaine Snyder and Tom Holly. The groups like to spread their support among local organizations and decided this time to contribute to the Digital Mammography Project at RVH because breast cancer is something that can touch everyone either personally or through a family member or friend. Desilets noted that fundraising efforts are near the halfway mark towards the final goal of $700,000 and thanked both the CWL and Knights of Columbus members. “We are grateful that you chose the Digital Mammography Fund at RVH to be the receipent of the donation. “This brings us one step closer to our reaching our goal,” she said.

She went through the drive-thru with her son and cousin and was enjoying her coffee at home. “I rolled up the rim, and won,” she recalled. The prize also includes four sets of 3-D glasses and Blue Ray disk player. Hunt is the second winner of a major prize in Roll Up the Rim to Win at a Renfrew Tim Hortons. A car was won at the Stewart Street Tim Hortons last year.
