About Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story
Starring Canadian Idol Winner RYAN MALCOLM!
On February 3rd, 1959, the man who changed the face of popular music tragically died in a plane crash aged 22.

Over 20 million people have come to see Buddy all across the globe where the magical talents ‘Buddy’ Holly have been shared live with many more people than the real Buddy Holly ever had the chance to perform to. The young man with glasses whose musical career spanned an all-too-brief period has enjoyed a longevity that was denied him in 1959.

Our club just made it a bit easier for kids to go back to school this fall with a $1,000 donation to SING’s Back-to-School Campaign.
This August SING will hold their 10th annual Back-to-School Campaign, which provides Kingston and area children with essential school supplies their parents cannot afford. Coming to school on the first day with adequate school supplies can go a long way toreducing students’ fears of being different, not fitting in, and putting them on a moreequal footing with their peers.
The Social Issues Networking Group (SING) is a community coalition committed to
taking solution-based action on issues that affect people living in poverty. SING strives
for social justice, equity, and systemic change to end poverty but never forgets the
people who have to survive todayís realities with very limited resources.

Because the local prisons are shutting down their farms, our local Food Bank will be loosing fresh eggs and milk. Our club has decided to donate some money to offset their losses. Follow the link to read the whole story from the Kingston Whig Standard.
If Kingston’s prison farms close, the local food bank won’t be left holding an empty basket of eggs.
The Partners in Mission Food Bank receives about $4,000 worth of eggs from the local prison farms each year. With those farms now being threatened with closure by Correctional Service Canada, a local service club has stepped up to soften the blow.
Food bank director Sandy Singers says the Kingston Kinsmen club has pledged $5,000 a year to the food bank over the next three years to make up for any shortfall should the federal government close the farms.
