Lions Club finishes up November projects
Seaforth
Lions Club
News
The Seaforth Lions Club's Santa Claus
parade was a wonderful community event
The evening of Nov. 28 saw five bands
and more than 60 local organizations
come together to welcome Santa to
Seaforth. The parade route was lined
with excited residents, both young and
old. Santa listened to the Christmas
wishes of more than 80 youngsters at
the Legion after the parade.
The club's contribution to the gover-
nor's Cycle Recycle project, which saw
10 used bicycles from each Lions Club
for refurbishing and distribution over-
seas, was completed during the first
week of November. Using social media,
our request for donated bicycles was
answered within four days of posting.
Many thanks to the supporters of this
project.
Several Lions, along with their wives
and friends, got together to stamp, fold,
staple and sort 11 weeks worth of TV
bingo cards. The Dublin and Mitchell
Lions Clubs also each prepared 11 weeks
worth of cards. The Seaforth bingo team
of Lions Rick Albrecht, Doug Elliott and
Cathy Effiott worked the Nov. 19 TV bingo,
but weren't able to give away
the jackpot.
Lion Cathy Elliott was pre-
sented with her 25 -year pin
by Lion President John Snell.
Donations of $2000 to the
Participation Lodge and
$100 to Lions Camp Kirk
Foundation were approved.
Ticket sales for the club's
45th annual elimination
draw are going well, with 105
of the 500 already sold for
the June 20, 2015, event.
Each $60 ticket provides a
half -chicken dinner for two,
dancing to the band Dianne
and the Cavaliers and $8190
in cash prizes.

Beuttenmiller for tickets at

an 18 -hole mini -putt course and
manually controlled roller coaster.
When the weather got rainy, stu-
dents had the option to lounge at
their hotel and make use of the public
pool and billiard tables.
However, the main highlight of the
retreat was practicing with,
and learning from,
Carpenter.
A former music teacher
with the Toronto District
School Board, Carpenter has
plenty of experience with
musical training. Before his
recent retirement, his bands
performed at large venues
such as Massey Hall and he
is now a sought-after band
clinician and adjudicator.
Now that the concert band
at St. Anne's has learned
from the best, it is more than
ready for its upcoming per-
formances in December.

Minister of Public Relations
December has begun and the
Christmas spirit is upon us.
Plenty of events are transpiring at
the school before the Christmas
break begins.
One such event is St. Anne's
annual Evening of the Arts. This
event featured various musical and
theatrical performances from St.
Anne's students. There was also a
variety of artwork to observe.
Tickets for the Semi Formal dance
at St. Anne's have also started to go
on sale. The theme for Semi Formal
this year is based off the novel, The
Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
This novel embodies the iconic jazz
era of the 1920s.

Approaching Christmas,
Students for Social Justice
have begun selling Fair
Trade items during lunch.
These items make great
Christmas gifts, as well as
support principles of
decency and fairness in
how goods are sold.
Next week, on Tuesday,
Dec.16, St. Anne's will be
holding our Advent Mass in
the gym. This event helps
both staff and students to
take time out of their busy
lives to recognize the birth of
Christ and the profound
importance it has in our lives.
