The Church is also organizing their Annual Salvation Army Food Drive

In 2011, a new method for gathering food drive donations was introduced where bags of non-perishable food items were picked up from door steps in the community. Volunteers gathered 77 bags of food and collected $875.

Due to the success of last year’s efforts, the volunteers from the Sturgeon Point Union Church and
the Sturgeon Lake Sailing Club will once again be dropping off empty grocery bags at
your home or cottage on the August long weekend.

 Kindly fill up the bag with non perishable items in
support of this year’s Food Drive.

The volunteers will be around again on Monday August 6th between 3:00-5:00pm
to pick up your filled grocery bag. Please leave your bag at your front door step or porch
for collection by Monday afternoon.

Other Drop Off Options:
Sunday August 5th, Sturgeon Point Union Church Service
Monday August 6th, Civic Weekend Running Races at Swannanoa

 Donations are also gratefully accepted with
cheques made out to:

Salvation Army Food Bank

Hope everyone enjoys this fun filled weekend!

Frog Jog Count Down

18 days until the 1st Annual Frog Jog/Walk! Is everyone out practicing?

This event will take place on Saturday, July 7th at 11am.

This is a 5 km FUN Run/Walk and 1 km kid’s run/walk around the village. This event will be a great opportunity to get together for a tour around the Point.

The FROG JOG will start and finish at the Park. There will be finishers’ ribbons and a prize draw at the finish line afterwards, and refreshments and snacks will be provided. Note that this event is open to everyone, and participants can complete the course at their own pace.

If you aren’t planning lace up your runners for this event, please consider volunteering.  Contact Rosemary Stochel at [email protected] if you are able to volunteer.

If having a quiet morning sitting out enjoying the sun is more up your speed, please bring your lawn chairs to the roadside and cheer on the runners!
