Here I am once again with just a bit of news from The Greater Petawawa Civitan Club.

Well if you were at our Bingo on Sunday, June 19 you had the opportunity to witness just where the money raised at our Bingo is going. Cheques for the sum of $3,000 each were donated to each of the following food banks: the Deep River and Community Food Bank, St. Joseph’s Food Bank in Pembroke, and the Petawawa Pantry Food Bank. Civitan President Darlene Lambert and Vice President Brian Miner presented Michelle Osmond, Petawawa Pantry Manager, Candace Graham, Deep River Food Bank volunteer and John Kilborn, Past President, St. Joseph’s Food Bank, each a cheque to help them help those who need help. A cheque for $5,000 for the Robbie Dean Centre’s bullying prevention program and $2,000 for CHEO were also sent out. This was made possible because of the support of our Bingo players. The Greater Petawawa Civitan Club members thank so very much.

We are having a dance at the end of summer. The Band is Eddy and the Stingrays. I will have more information in the upcoming weeks. Civitan Chuck will let you know about this event and others that are coming up on Sunday Night at the Bingo. We will also have posters in different locations in the next few weeks.

Now if you would like more information about our club you can also check out our website for more information: petawawacivitanclub.weebly.com.

We are still looking for volunteers or people who would like to join our club. We are all volunteers and there is no cost to you if join us. Like I have said many times, if you want to know about our Civitan Club, just come and ask us. We are all here to help those who need our help and to be of service to our community.

Don’t forget the fishing tournament Battle the Bass that will be held August 13, 2022.

Well I hope to see you all at our Bingo Sunday night at the Petawawa Civic Centre. The doors open at 5:30 p.m. There is an early bird game that starts at 6:30 and our regular games start at 7 p.m. So if you are new to Petawawa or the area, come and try our Bingo. We will make sure that you feel welcome and will help you out when you need help. You may even have a few laughs, too. We also have a great canteen. So hope to see you all at our Bingo on Sunday night.

That’s all for now, take care and God bless you all. Have a great week.
