We enter the
most celebrated season of the year to commemorate the greatest gift God gave to the world, the birth of our Saviour. Lets us take time to Celebrate, Share and Reflect on the Many Blessings we have in
this community.
The year has again been
busy as our community grows and we must extend our appreciation to the many volunteers who provide the many programs and opportunities
we enjoy plus the many dedicated employees of local organizations, business and self-employed individuals who service and
support our needs for the common good. Perhaps the establishment of the Country
Market and the first market Director – Annie Gay, demonstrated the spirit of community that creates a place of opportunity
for both social and economic benefit in an environment that feels like home.
In the November 28th. Local
Service District –Advisory Committee elections the incumbents consisting of; Reid Wishart, Don Robertson, Bliss MacIntosh,
Jack Robertson and Colin Harding have returned to offer their continued support in community service.
To all our all residents, friends, and
acquaintances – at home or away, we extend our warm and sincere wishes
for A MERRY CHRISTMAS.
The Tabby Tattler is also available
on line at our website www.tabusintac.org

Tabusintac Library and Museum
The
committee wishes to thank the community for the wonderful support this past year.
We appreciate your contribution to our
roof replacement and floor restoration project.
The
library and museum plays an important role in the community and your help shows us that maintaining the rich history of the
area is important to you.
Again,
our thanks and Season Greetings to all.
Tabusintac Rural School
Tabusintac Rural School has a wonderful Breakfast Program, benefiting
all
the students within the school. We are currently looking for
donations of cheese Whiz, Jam, margarine, or bread for
this worthwhile
program. Any help from the community will be much appreciated.
Also, staff and students
would like to thank the Tabusintac Royal
Canadian Legion Branch # 47, for their kind donation of $100.00 to our
Breakfast
program.

TCDCI SUGGESTION BOX
Part of the mandate of the TCDCI
is to encourage visitors or tourists to visit our wonderful community. Our
initial development plan identified 3 main concerns we felt must be addressed if we want visitors to stay over in Tabusintac
rather than just passing through. Naturally, the three requirements were; a place to stay, a place to eat, and something for
the tourist to do once they were here. We feel the first requirement has been
met with the Cottage Cluster, the Campground, and Straight Brook Lodge all providing
accommodations. These facilities also provide an opportunity for visitors to
prepare their own meals alleviating the second requirement though we are still pursuing the idea of a small restaurant in
the community. To assist us in meeting the last
requirement we are asking for suggestions from residents and would appreciate any and all ideas for regular or scheduled
activities we could provide to our guests. Although not necessary we would like
ideas that would be self sustaining i.e. they would pay for themselves (rental or usage fees) . There is no obligation to anyone submitting an idea so please feel free to be creative. Here are a few ideas just to get the juices flowing:
A regular smelt fry
Strawberry/Blueberry festival
Ice fishing Hands
on activities
Tobogganing
or tubing
Beach parties
Skating parties Corn
boils
Lobster
boils
If necessary please provide a
brief description of your idea. Names and numbers are not required but would
be useful if we needed to clarify your idea. We would appreciate your ideas by
the end of January 2007. There will be a Tourism Suggestion box set up in the
Community Hall for your ideas or you can email them to the office at tablocser@nb.aibn.ca or contact any of the directors
of the TCDCI. We look forward to hearing from you.
French Language Training
The first course of Beginner Level
1 provided by The Compello Institute of Language wrapped up on 7 December 2006 with a great supper at Chez Raymonds. We must have learned something on the course as we were all able to order our meals
in French and none of us left hungry. Congratulations to all students for successfully
competing Level 1. Merci beaucoup also to our excellent teacher Monique Avery
for her patience, patience, patience, understanding, and treats. Great job Monique!
If there is enough interest,
Nadine Dunn owner of the Compello Institute, is offering to run another Level 1 and/or Level 2 course here in Tabusintac. Once again she requires at least 10 students for each course and the cost is $150

Hello Everyone,
Just wanted to let you know that the
Traditional Ecological Map is still underway and more personal stories and pictures are needed on certain species that the
atlas will display. It doesn’t have to be a long story but we would like
the story to involve something that happened or you have seen in our watershed. For
example:
“…I remember when we would stay overnight on the sand dunes off Seal Gully; we would walk
out onto other sand dunes which were below sea-level and feel for the bar clams with our feet.
Once we dug them up with our feet we would put them in a floatable tub that was tied to our leg. The bar clams were than brought back to shore to be steamed and to be enjoyed by many.”
If you have any questions, please feel
free to contact us at 779-1185.
Our drinking water program may be available
in the upcoming spring; therefore, if you are interested please call with your information.
We would like to thank all those who came out on our last run and participated. If you would like additional information;
do not hesitate to call or e-mail.
In January, we are planning to have a
couple of guest speakers in to discuss many different topics about our drinking water.
Signs will be posted around the community with the confirmed date and time.
Hope Everyone Has Safe & Happy Holidays,
