(Eve Martin photo) Storage space for food bank sought BY FRANCES NIBLOCK The Georgetown Gemini A request that Acton's FoodShare be able to use 1,000 square feet of space on the lower level of the old Acton Fire Hall prompted Ward 4 Councillor Al Cook to ask that the same offer be made to organizers ofthe new Georgetown food bank, who have been unable to find a new location. Town staff have been asked to report on the feasi- bility of the Fire Hall being used by Acton FoodShare, which has lost some of its donated storage space be- cause of the expansion of an- other business in the same building. Cook said the Georgetown woman who is attempting to open a new food bank, has been unable to find afford- able or donated space and, in fact, is storing food in her home. "T think she should also be Ls given the opportunity to come before Council and ask for municipal storage space," Cook said. Council did not approve the use of the old Fire Hall by Acton Food Share but instead sent the request to municipal staff to prepare a written re- port, which will also deal with a suggestion from Mayor Marilyn Serjeantson that the Georgetown food bank do- nations could be stored in Acton.

"On behalf of the Board, I want to thank Bob for his leadership and direction dur- ing the past eight years," said Linda Glover, chair of the Board. "His vision for the future of the system and his per- sonal, caring approach for both students and staff have won him wide respect throughout the system. I know that he will continue to carry his enthusiasm and positive approach into his new role."
