Our two long-time Major Sponsors, Dairy Farmers of
Canada and Mrs. Dunster’s, are joined this year by Potash
Corporation of Saskatchewan, New Brunswick Divisions. Together,
they make it possible to provide you with one of the best
basketball tournaments in Eastern Canada. It is with this type of
corporate support, along with all of our Gold, Silver and Bronze
sponsors, that we are able to provide the Community with a
Tournament of this caliber.
This past June, the DTC Committee submitted my name to BNB for
recognition. Subsequently, in September I was presented with the
Executive/Officials Award in recognition of my outstanding service
to Basketball in New Brunswick. Thanks to the Committee and the
members who put the submission together. As well, our Committee
nominated Dairy Farmers of Canada in the corporate category, of
the Compass Awards through Sport New Brunswick. As a result,
Dairy Farmers of Canada were recognized for their efforts, and
were presented with this award this past November.
Over the summer the DTC Committee provided a summer camp for 175
youngsters from grades 3 – 12, and supported 35 youngsters in
going to other camps (BNB programs or University camps) with
bursaries totaling nearly $3500. At the SRHS graduation we
presented three scholarships to graduates worth a total of $700.
Tim McAleenan (Mount Allison) and Haley Doney (Saint Thomas)
received scholarships for those who were going-on to try-out at
the next level. They are now contributing members of their new
teams. Additionally, Ashley Roulston received a Scholarship for
her basketball efforts over the last six years, in addition to her
other school and community activities.
At this year’s Tournament you will see the Dairy Dunkers Finals,
mini games, middle school and junior varsity games, in the two
days leading up to the tip-off of the 20th Dairy Town Classic
basketball tournament.
In closing, please allow me to THANK all our sponsors, the staffs
at the Middle and High Schools, and all our volunteers for their
great efforts. Together, they make this Tournament the success it
has become, year after year. On behalf of the Committee, thanks to
the fans and Best of Luck to all of the participants, and may this
Tournament be one of the highlights of your High School basketball
career.
Let’s have the Official Tip-Off so we can sit back and have three
great days of basketball action. |
