Candlestick Award - 2013 Recipient ~ Gloria Taylor

Several years ago, Barbara Williamson instigated an award to recognize women in our community that go above and beyond with volunteering.  These women don't need to be at the forefront, in fact most work quietly behind the scenes.  

We are happy to announce that this year's recipient is Gloria Taylor, for always stepping in when an extra set of hands is needed, or when an event needs to be pulled off.  Thanks, Gloria, for all you do for our community.

Past recipients surprised Gloria with a lovely bouquet of roses, a lemon-coconut chiffon cake and a couple of bottles of bubbly, accompanying the pair of crystal candlesticks, which will be gracing Gloria's table for the next year.  Past recipients: Shirley Burr, Cecilia Inness, Petra Accipiter, Lynn Hunter, Veronica Shelford, Sue French (missing from photo), Ann Dickie & Simone Luckham (missing from photo).

Jollity Farm ~ Pedal-powered Salad Spinner

Jollity Farm wants to create a pedal powered salad spinner using an old stationary bike and washing machine.

We are short on time and expertise and would love to have a passionate islander give us a hand to bring this project to life.

What's New at Jollity Farm?

If you've been by the driveway at the farm in the past few days you will notice some big changes. In response to feedback from the community we have created a two lane system plus additional parking to make it easy and safe to get in and out of the farm on busy Saturday mornings. Very soon you will find clearly marked parking areas plus 2 foot paths. We will be planting a permaculture native plant garden in the newly de-brambled area closest to the road. We look forward to inviting you all to another open farm day at the end of the month. Stay tuned for more updates re: this year's CSA food box program in the next few days.
