general meeting
A total of 45 Lucknow United
Church Women members and special
guests were treated to a delicious
turkey dinner, cooked and served by
10 men under organizer Dave Black.
The greeter was Don Irwin and

Gerald McFarlane led in grace. The
cooks were thanks, as were the
guest quilters who helped our nimble
fingers. Several carols were sung as
an opening for worship.
A skit, entititled 'No One Will Ever
Know,' saw the arrival of Mary and
Joseph looking for lodging and being
directed to the stable, while later a
wealthy couple were given a room.
President Barb Helm read Trouble
at the Inn and welcomed everyone.
Ruth Ritchie read the minutes and
the treasurer's report was given by
Diane Henderson. Thank you letters

read.

extra donations to outreach places.

meeting dates for 2013 were noted
and the evening closed with prayer.

Reid's Corners
Women's Institute
A total of 23 members of
the Reid's Corners Women's
Institute met at the home of
Sharon and Gary Courtney
for a delicious hot turkey
dinner.
A short business meeting
preceded the dinner. The
roll call, "A memorable

everyone a chance to
reminisce.
Five members received
membership pins - Ruth
Anne Robinson - 10 years,
Audrey Smith - 10 years,
Linda Campbell - 20 years,
Joan Wand - 20 years and

June is traditionally a
special meeting. Members
voted to attend the
production of "South
Pacific" which will be
performed at Grand Bend
this summer. Joan Wand
will look after details.
After the huge meal and
the dishes cleared away the
fun began. Ruth Anne
Robinson gave readings as
did Linda Campbell. Bonna
May showed how a
beautiful Christmas tree
could be made using six
coat hangers as the base, a
string of lights, a roll of
tinsel and a few simple
ornaments.
Sharon Courtney made a
centre piece using natural
greenery and carnations
which was for Eunice
Emmerton, a long time
member who has just been
moved to Trillium Court.
Secret pal gifts were
exchanged and new pals
drawn.
Sharon Courtney, Judy
Snobelen and Bonna May
were warmly thanked by
the members.

Lucknow looks back on a busy weekend
Ruth Dobrensky
Lucknow News
Once again the Lucknow Juvenile Stil-
ver Stick Tournament was a great
success.
Paul and Eleanor Henderson were
the Ambassadors again and by all
accounts, all the players and their teams
had a great time. Congratulations to
everyone from the organizers to the
players, their parents and all local
hockey fans for a great weekend.
Our local HAWK theatre group held
their annual Christmas play this past
weekend as well, and as usual, the play
was well attended and enjoyed by all.
Last weeks Carolfest provided a won-
derful way to get into the Christmas
spirit. All the choirs did a great job and
helped many to forget the horrid
weather (except for the lightning and
thunder) and to start thinking happy
Christmas thoughts.
It was great to see so many human
interest stories in last weeks Sentinel.
The brave people who alerted a family
to a fire in their home are to be congrat-
ulated for their quick thinking and
bravery. The story about Mrs. Bell, from
Northern Ireland and her need for can-
cer treatment here in Canada was sad
but full of hope. It was also lovely to see
that technology has allowed Margaret
Ferguson of RVilla to keep in contact
with friends and family. And last, but
not least, the story of former Teeswater
News Editor Carolyn Heffenstein getting
a university degree at 78, reminds us all
that its never too late to get an
education.
There are still many bazaars and craft
shows happening before Christmas in
and around the area, so if you are not
crafty or unable to bake, you too can
impress friends and family with home
made goodies for Christmas.
In case you're out and about tomor-
row night and you happen to see a
bunch of "mature" women dressed up
in red and purple clutching carol sheets
in their hands while rushing from senior
residence to senior residence, that will
be the Lucknow Sepoy Ranees out on
our annual caroling evening for the sen-
iors in Lucknow. We try not to frighten
anyone, but they always seem to like our
visit and our singing, go figure.
