Food. Books. Nourishment.

The Rotary Club of Raymond expresses appreciation to the community's support of their Annual Community Carole
Festival Sunday Dec 13th Participants contributed 520 Pounds of non perishable food items, which were delivered to the Standoff Food Bank the following day by Rotarian Val Boehme. Food Bank volunteers, Carol and Diane Bird extend appreciation to the Raymond community for this support, as they work to assist families in need in their community
Also collected at the Carole Festival were 14 cases of reading books for the Standoff Library, opened recently by their Parks and Recreation Department - the first Public Library on a First Nations Reservation in Alberta. The books will be presented to the Library at a Pow Wow in Standoff in January.
The goal of the Rotary Club was to have a good cross section of the community participate in the Carole festival. This was realized as school, youth, community and several different denominations contributed musical numbers, which were warmly received by the 5-600 people in attendance.
