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 [email protected] 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 family of the late ANN STOREY would like to thank the family, friends and neighbours for the cards and thoughts of condolence, food, calls and visits during our difficult time. We are forever grateful for your kindness. ~ Washburn, Cheryl and Chris In Loving Memory of SHAUN HOVEY W h o P a s s e d Aw a y O n October 1, 2013 No length of time will take away VILLAGE OF DOAKTOWN Our thoughts of you from day to day; Unfortunately, owing to COVID-19 con- And when good time we often recall That’s when we miss you most of all. cerns, door-to-door trick or treat- ing will not be permitted this year.

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 Proudly serving the rural communities of The Saint Thomas United Church the Nashwaak & Miramichi Valleys Women will be hosting a Food and Rummage Sale at the United Church Hall (367 Main Street, Doaktown) on F R I D AY , O C T O B E R 2 ( 1 0 AM – 3 P M ) and on S AT U R D AY , O C T O B E R 3 ( 9 AM – N O O N ) 3 6 5- 7 7 8 7 FAL L AN D W I N T E R HOURS Our summer season will 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 SAVE ROOM FOR THE FISHCAKES!
