Palgrave Preserves, which started in June at Palgrave Community Kitchen at Palgrave United Church, is a series of workshops and events focusing on food canning and preserving. The program was helped by a $25,000 grant from the federal government, along with donations from the Rotary Club of Palgrave. Friday was a time to show appreciation. Dufferin-Caledon MP David Tilson was on hand for the celebration, joining Rotarian Ross Farrelly, Lorraine Witty of the Community Kitchen, Karen Hollingshead, Church minister Greg Daly, Meredith Taylor and Barb Imrie of the Community Kitchen and Rotarian Marie Jay. “It's not just the money,” Tilson observed. “It's what you're actually doing with the money.”
