Kinsmen Report: January 2017

Hello once again from the Bible Hill Kinsmen!

The club is busy getting everything ready for the 4th Annual Great Trivia Challenge. The event, one of our major fundraisers of the year, takes place Saturday, March 4th at 7:30 p.m. at the Best Western Glengarry. Proceeds of this event will once again go towards the Colchester East Hants Health Centre Foundation’s “We Care About Cancer” Fund and other community projects.

We anticipate another packed venue, with a number of teams from last year’s event re-entering. However, there’s still room for more! Hundreds of people, in teams of eight, will compete to test their knowledge in sports, music, entertainment, history, and more!  There will be lots of food, music, a cash bar, and a silent auction that will take place throughout the night.

The deadline to register is February 17th, at a cost of $300 per team. If you have any questions, feel free to send an email to trivia@biblehillkinsmen.ca.

We’re gearing up for a number of events later in the year, and will be sharing those details soon. One thing we have been able to focus on, and something that’s crucial for any group, is fellowship. Between a curling event in Moncton with fellow Kinsmen from around the Maritimes, to an afternoon spent bowling here in Bible Hill, it’s always fun to get together as a group.

The Bible Hill Kinsmen hold meetings on the first and third Thursday of the month, from September to June, at 7:30 p.m. at the Douglas Street Recreation Centre. We’d love to see you there. If you’re interested in joining us for a meeting, or would like more information, email president@biblehillkinsmen.ca.

2017 Great Trivia Challenge

The Bible Hill Kinsmen invite you to a fun-filled evening on Saturday March 4th, 2017 at 7:30pm at the Best Western Glengarry in Truro.

The Bible Hill Kinsmen along with a special guest will host the 4th Annual “The Great Trivia Challenge”. This is an event where teams of 8 people – co-workers, friends, or family – will come together to play rounds of trivia. We anticipate having 40 teams competing against each other and testing their knowledge in sports, music, entertainment, history, and more! There will be lots of food, music, a cash bar, and a silent auction that will take place throughout the night.

“The Great Trivia Challenge” will be one of our largest fund-raisers of the year. For the second year in a row, proceeds of this event will go towards the Colchester East Hants Health Centre Foundation’s “We Care About Cancer Fund” and other community projects.

Being diagnosed with cancer means a lot of things; travel, medication, fatigue and fear just to name a few. For some who struggle to make ends meet, the diagnosis of cancer also means an added expense that they simply can’t afford. That’s why the “We Care About Cancer” Fund was created – to help those diagnosed with cancer worry less about the financial burden so they can focus on healing. “For those in our local community who are falling through the cracks – like the people who don’t qualify for supplements, are single parents, under 65 years old and have huge co-pays or are in between wait times for benefits to come into effect –this fund makes a world of difference. Their decision to undergo treatment is made easier because we can help them with gas to get there, the furnace oil to keep them warm or the groceries to keep them fed. They don’t have to choose one over the other,” says Darlene Holmes, Cancer Patient Navigator. It’s a long road to recovery when battling cancer, emotionally as well as financially.

The registration fee is $300.00. Click here to view a printable version of the registration form. Get your team registered early, support a great cause, and enjoy “The Great Trivia Challenge!”
