On Saturday, as part of the Londesboro Lions Club's 40th anniversary, Patrick Armstrong (not
shown) of the Dave Mounsey Memorial Foundation presented the community group with a
defibrillator in honour of Private Charles Edward Bromley who was killed in action in World War
I. The Lions contributed half the cost of the defibrillator. Lion Ron Nesbitt is shown with the
plaque. Back row, from left, are charter members of the group Ian Hulley, Robert Shaddick and

Lions mark 40 years
It was quite a celebration at the
Londesborough Community Hall
last Saturday, May 6 as the
community helped the Londesboro
Lions Club mark 40 years of
involvement and service in the area.
Folks who attended could browse
the club's history displays, check out
the door prizes, socialize and enjoy a
hot dog or hamburger and cake.
In the upper hall the younger folk
were entertained by comedian and
magician Dan Steep and Balloon
Man Dan. Among the balloon
creations I saw some interesting
dogs and a very unique elephant. In
the lower hall Robert Shaddick, as
emcee for the formalities, made
introductions and kept activities on
schedule. Three charter members
did a ceremonial cake cutting, Carl
Nesbitt, Robert Shaddick and Ian
Hulley. The club planted a tree on
the side lawn to celebrate 100 years
of the Lions Club.
Commendations and best wishes
were offered by Huron -Bruce MP
Ben Lobb, Huron -Bruce MPP Lisa
Thompson, Warden and Central
Huron Mayor Jim Ginn, and A-9
Lions Past District Governor
Charles Liddle. OPP Officer Patrick
Armstrong, executive director of the
Dave Mounsey Memorial Fund, was
present to give an AED defibrillator
to the hall. It was presented in
honour of fallen WWI soldier
Private Charles Edward Bromley
who left the Londesborough area
family farm to serve his country. On
behalf of the Bromley family, Irene
Bromley thanked the fund for the
life-saving gift and the Lions Club
for their work in the community.
And the club's involvement in the
community continues with a fish fry
this coming Saturday and their
annual Duck Race on May 28.
Easter is never over; UCW
Ladies of the Londesborough
UCW met in the Sunday school
room for their April meeting on
Monday, April 17.
"Is Easter Really Over?" was the
theme of the meditation that evening
lead by Joan Goodall, Brenda
Konarski, Joan Howatt and Margaret
Wright.
The meditation assured the ladies
that Easter is never over. Love
overcomes evil and God's love is
omnipresent in our lives. A story
about "Philip's Egg" and an Easter
quiz were also enjoyed.
President Helen Lobb conducted
the business which included
reminders about upcoming
caterings, the UCW Sunday service
on May 28, the purchase of a
Smartboard and a new coffee maker.
Ladies wanting to be part of the
summer theatre outing should
contact Joan Goodall. The date has
been set for July 6.
Joan Whyte reported on the
London Conference UCW Meeting
on April 22. The group will meet
again on May 15.
Rev. Fletcher will be performing
the Sacrament of Baptism on
Sunday, May 14.

Communities in Bloom
seeks garden tender
PEOPLE AROUND
LONDESBORO

I had a note last week from the
Central Huron Communities in
Bloom group. They are needing a
volunteer to tend the flowerbed
underneath the Londesborough sign
at the south end of the village.
This little job would involve
weeding and watering on a regular
basis after planting. The plants are
supplied by the committee. The
bulbs planted last fall by the
previous volunteer are about to burst
with colour. That person is unable to
tend the bed due to health reasons
this year. If you feel you might enjoy
this little way to beautify our village,
please call 519-482-3855.
Although we have turned the
calendar page to May, it sure doesn't
feel like it. With May comes a
change in hydro time -of -use hours. I
don't think many are able to do
much outdoor drying yet so keep
those `cheaper' hours in mind. The
best time to save money is overnight
FROM LONDESBORO
or on the weekend. However piling
up laundry for Saturday means a
busy day, right?
Have you given thought as to how
you might help out a Hullett
Township display on the second
weekend of July?
Radford's Farm Equipment have
plans to burn the large brush pile in
their backyard this Saturday
providing conditions are suitable. If
it is a warm day you may need to
keep your windows closed.
