RETIREMENT CELEBRATIONS GAIL ROSS, LIBRARY MANAGER UPPER MIRAMICHI COMMUNITY LIBRARY The Board and staff of the Upper Miramichi Community Library are plan- ning a celebration in honour of the fabulous Gail Ross who will be retir- ing at the end of October and who has been our first and only library manager. While the pandemic will prohibit us from hosting a large “' open house, ”' we want to provide an opportunity for members of the community, li- brary patrons, students and teachers (past and present) to send good wishes, notes of appreciation, fond memories, etc. These can be in the form of written notes or short videos to be made into a video presentation for Gail. Please send them to umrhs2008@outlook.com no later than Thursday, October 15 We know that some patrons would prefer to send in or drop off a card so, during the entire month of October, if you would like to drop off a card to Gail while you are visiting the library, we have placed a “ keepsake box ” at the door for your convenience. Our mailing address is Upper Miramichi Community Library, 7263 Route 8 – Unit 1, New Bandon, NB E9C 2A7. We hope you will join with us to make Gail ’ s retirement celebration truly memorable. If additional infor- mation is needed, please contact us at 506 - 365 - 2096.

The cards, phone calls, messages, visits, and heartfelt condolences were truly overwhelming. Dad was never a person who liked anyone making a fuss over him, but we know he would be so incredibly grateful as well. We cannot begin to name everyone who has helped us over the last few weeks for fear of forgetting even one. But we will send a huge thank you to the Upper Miramichi Lions Club for the ben- efit breakfast and to all who donated, attended, or helped in any way! This has been a tough journey for us all. While the sickness and suffering were short, the worrying and grief was and will be long, and we appreciate everyone who has been there to help and support us along the way. Dad was a big part of many peoples ’ lives and it is a huge loss to everyone! A special thank you to all his current and former co - workers for your visits while Dad was at home. He genuinely enjoyed all of them, as one of his favourite things was to talk about the woods and the machines. Dad ’ s work and work fami- ly was a huge part of his life. Once again, thank you, thank you, thank you for everything! You will never know how much your generosity and support mean to us. ~ Susan, Sarah and Family 3 6 5 - 7 7 8 7 FAL L AN D W I N T E R H O U R S O u r s u m m e r s e a s o n w i l l officially end on Saturday, October 10 but fear not: be- ginning on Wednesday, Octo- ber 14 , we ’ ll be starting a new winter schedule that will see us open for business Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday 10 AM – 4 PM We ’ ll be getting some new items for our Gift Shop to help with your Christmas shopping; tickets for Chase the Ace and our Salmon Museum and Friends lottery will continue to be on sale; we ’ ll definitely be raffling off some more of Daphne ’ s “ special ” baskets over the coming weeks; and our River Room will always be available for reservations.
