Food Grains Bank benefits from church lunch
Gains for grain
On Sunday, the Brussels United Church was the setting of a Canadian Food Grain Fields of
Faith Growing Project fundraising lunch. The church has historically given thousands of dollars
to the project over the years, most notably through congregation member Bob Kellington.
Kellington organized Sunday's lunch, which welcomed over 80 to the church for a ham and
scalloped potato lunch. The event raised over $1,200, which, under the government's 4:1
funding ratio, will translate to $6,000 for the cause. The church is also planning an evening of
music in the fall to further benefit the program. Seen here helping themselves to the
afternoon's bounty are, from left: Tim Prior, Donna Prior and Kathy Workman. (vickyBremnerphoro)

Looking out into thick fog this
Morning morning, a scary movie
comes to mind. Silhouettes and
shadows are formed as the fog blows
in and out of the vision line. Another
day of interesting weather.
The Canadian Food Grains Bank
folks were well received on Sunday
at lunch at the United Church. A
good meal and generous donations
made for a happy time for organizers
Bob Kellington and Beth Earl. Extra
visitors at worship were in
attendance to show their support of
this work done around the world.
The Canadian government sees this
as a good use of money, in that it
helps the world situation of food
inequality. So personal donations are
matched 4:1 making dollars, seeds
and grains available to parts of the
world where the need for food is

The fish fry crew had a nasty day
to cook fish for the Vanastra Curling
Club. They cooked for over 200 on
Sunday. The crew included Greg
Wilson, Lisa Glanville, Joan Smith,
Judy Lee, Mabel Glanville, Sharon
Robbins and Andy Overholt. Thanks
to these Comrades for a job well
done under not -so -pleasant
conditions.

great. We live in a blessed part of the
universe and so it's good to celebrate
and share our resources with the
Canadian Food Grains Bank.
Bob would be happy to share the
good news of this organization with
you, and of course accept your
cheque.
Once April arrives, social events
are abundant. Marking the calendar
is the only way to keep track of
where you wish to be, at the right
time and day. So check to see if these
three have already hit your agenda.
On Sunday, April 17 at 7 p.m. the
Ministerial folks are offering an
evening of music. Hosted at the
Presbyterian Church, the local
church choirs will gladden your
hearts with music of spring, growth
and rebirth.
Tuesday, April 19 offers an
evening to talk and learn about
mental health offered by the
Canadian Mental Health Association
at 7 p.m. at the Brussels United
Church. Susanne Simpson will offer
relevant information to our
community. Come and bring a
friend.
Then on Monday, April 25 at 5:30
p.m. we can help clean up our
village. Gloves and rakes would
help, but any able body ready to give
spring a lift would be much
appreciated by the Recreation
Board. Come do your part.
As money gets tight, it's time to
rethink how we do things, no matter
if it's your home, a local group or
government of any size. Anger and
blame are often used when choices
need to be made. Those do not work,

and only bullies keep trying that
route. When clear, reasonable heads
get together solutions of a different
form can be found. So realize, once
again our world is changing and we
need to be very clear on the things
we feel are important to community.
That said, support of the cause and
the folks who are running things is
very important. do your part and let
councillors and board members
know your dreams for our future
community.
Bye now, Betty G.W.
