LEGACY
For over 55 years the Chantry Island Cham-bettes, a women’s service club, have been promoting the best interests of our community. In these years over 300 women have found membership in our organization which has enhanced their lives, brought lasting friendships and enjoyment while finding worthwhile community projects in which to get involved with.
HISTORY
Established in 1956 our membership has been involved in many projects for community betterment. Cham-bettes were responsible for naming some of the streets in Southampton, in 1971 the club numbered all homes and cottages in the town. We purchased the first water fountain for the Southampton tennis club, we are responsible for spearheading the fundraiser for the Southampton signs.
ACTIVITIES
Monies have been raised though products such as Dances, Beach Carnivals, Bakes Sales, Monster Bingo’s, Fashion shows, Variety Nights, Plays, Craft fairs, and Raffles. Most recent has been our Christmas Tour of Homes. If there is an event that is a little whacky and off the wall you can be sure the Cham-bettes will be involved.
CHARITY
All money we raise goes back to the community and donations in the past have included our hospitals, schools, youth organizations, the Plex, the Bruce County Museum, libraries, the Medical Center, Bruce County Women’s House, Prance, the Chantry Seniors Center, the Accessible Park, the Dog park, the Skateboard park, and of course the Chantry Island Restoration Project to name a few!
