Loyalist Estates News

DO YOU LOVE TO CYCLE??

Why not give it a try? There is a group in and around Bath that get-together

every couple of weeks and go for a ride. This is DEFINITELY recreational

cycling. We might go 35 km in a day – but that day is broken up with lots of

stops for water, chat, maybe ice cream and, of course, food. You don’t need a

high tech bike and you don’t need high tech clothes.

All you need is yourself, a bike that works, the energy to make it to the end and most definitely a

helmet. Of course, if you did not make it to the end, we would come back in a vehicle to pick you up.

This coming August Doug Noiles will be cycling 222 kilometers over two days in the Rockies of interior British Columbia with a group of awesome people ... many with MS. He is doing this not only for the experience, but more importantly to raise money for the fight against Multiple Sclerosis. Doug has been in training for some time for this event and would be greatly appreciative if our readers would consider a donation to this very

important cause.

Residents’ Appreciation/Comments

SUNSHINE CLUB

Cherie Gazarek

Thanks so much for the very special medicine that I received from the Sunshine Club. It came at

very good time especially since I had to undergo an operation on my right forearm due to, what I

thought, was a small fall. Nope...it was shattered bones. My luck. Thanks for all your kind thoughts

and good wishes, especially to those very special neighbours and friends we have in our community.

Sheri Wenzl

Many thanks to Linda McCormick for the nice visit and the goodies from the Sunshine Club. To the numerous well-wishers and sympathetic friends I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all of them. Most of all I want you to know how much I appreciated all the time you spent keeping me entertained! The recovery is going well in no short measure to all of you.

Gratefully,

Richard Ward

Loyalist / Bath Community News

Thank You from the Bath Canada Day Committee

A big thank you goes out to all those who

helped out with Canada Day celebrations.

Everything went very smoothly and whatever

problems we encountered were solvable.

Loyalist residents were a big part of the

volunteer contingent namely: Andy and Nancy

Gautheir, Bonnie and Kent Fredenburg, Dave

Nolting, Jim and Laurie Minorgan, Mel

Campbell, Norm Harmer, Mary McWhirter,

Dave Stewart. Sean and Pam Melia, Sally and David

Golding, Gerry Hartley, Mary Ann Gibbons, Bob

Elliott, Dorothy, Esther Quirt, Ann Myers, Rosemary

Webster and Dorothy Hunt. A special nod goes to

Keira and Kevin Fitzgerald and Charlotte and Sam

Kennedy who helped us sell out this year's Canada

Day Buttons by walking the Parade route. I am

always terrified of leaving someone out when I do

this sort of list so if I have omitted your name, please

accept my apologies.

Next year is the 150th Anniversary of Confederation and planning has already begun. We are hoping

to expand the celebrations to encompass Canada Day and the arrival of the Tall Ships one week

later.

If you would like to be a part of this, please send me a

note at pdnolting@gmail.com and we can chat.

The Bath/Loyalist Community has a New Coffee Shop

Early Canada Day morning, Berno Wenzl and Doug

Love decided to drop in to the new coffee shop on Main

Street and see if it was ready for its first customers.

To their surprise it had just opened two minutes earlier

and was ready to serve some delicious coffee.

We were greeted by Lauren the owner of “The LODGE”

our newest coffee shop. She was eager to show her

skills at making just about any kind of coffee you could

ask for.

Why not drop in and introduce yourself and welcome her

to our great community !

residents.

Editorial and other Stuff

The following is an open letter from the LCCRA Executive and the LCCRA President

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Our by-laws state that we can serve up to 2 terms of 2 years for a total of 4 years before we must

step down. Next May (2017 AGM), I will have to step down as President since I will have served for

4 years. Our secretary has indicated that he, too, will be stepping down. The association

membership numbers approx 290 households or somewhere between 500 and 550 people. Surely

there are some of you out there that can give back a few hours of your time to ensure that this

association can continue to exist and serve this community as it has in the past.

We still do not have a social convenor. A substantial number of members have told us in the May

2016 surveys that you are very interested in bus trips to local events or attending a murder mystery

dinner theatre and more. These activities require people to organize them and one person to act as

a focal point on the board of directors. It does not have to be the same person for each activity but

unless someone in our community steps up, these activities will remain on the wish list.

If the association is to continue to thrive, we have to be willing to make this happen. It does not have

to be a time-consuming effort, but please consider stepping up and help to keep this association

functioning.

Please contact the LCCRA via e-mail (webmaster@lccra.ca ) or contact any member on the board if

you can offer some help (see http://lccra.ca/who-we-are/lccra-executive/ )

Getting a new generation of people involved in the association is essential to our long-term well-

being. If you would like to see how our association works, please ask to sit in on one of our board

meetings.

On behalf of the LCCRA board of directors,

Paul Jepson - President
