Church uses donation to support various groups
A NOTE FROM BETTY

takes hold, it takes but a moment to
list all the good things of life. So
often we mutter about things that
really are not our concern or things
that are out of our control, it's all
attitude.
As I'm remembering the past few
weeks, lots of things made me smile,
again. So with an attitude of
gratitude I smile and think of the
store signs on the Square in
Goderich that say "welcome" to
As the days of summer progress people in Arabic. Driving back from
and the real life of a retired person
Hallville recently the "air
conditioned" sign on a derelict motel
with the doors and windows long
gone, needed a second look and a
chuckle. A feisty dandelion got a big
"ahhh" this spring as it blew in the
breezes by the Anglican Church,
well snuggled into the cracked bark
10 feet up the tree. The tractors and
butterflies, flowers and comic book
heroes painted on the faces of the
young set last Saturday at the Lions
supper had many smiling. The
"Welcome Back Fort McMurray"
sign hung from the ladder trucks by
Helping out
A significant donation was made to the Brussels United Church in honour of Ida Evans in
2003 and the church is making that money work by using the interest from the donation to
support local projects. Recently, $5,000 was donated to Camp Menesetung, $1,000 to Fort
McMurray through the United Church of Canada and $5,000 was donated, as shown above,
to the Brussels Morris and Grey Community Pool. Shown are, from left, Brussels United
Church Minister Gary Clark, United Church representative Ralph Watson, Abi Corbett and
Jacoby and Nicole Noble from the Brussels Recreation Board. (Denny Scott photo)
At the Branch
Legion Fish Fry set for July 1
By Jo -Ann McDonald
It was a busy week at the Brussels
Legion Branch for fish fry dinners.
Three were booked for Tuesday,
Thursday and Friday. It was a lot of
work, but it was handled by the very
capable members of the Branch.
Tuesday the crew went to Atwood
Presbyterian Church to feed 260
people. The fish was prepared by
Deb Cann, Jo -Ann McDonald and
Sandra Josling. The crew included
Deb and Eric Ross, Judy Lee, Lisa
Glanville, Joan Smith, Mabel
Glanville, Sharon Robbins and
Daisy Schmidt. They had a good day
once they got started and things
flowed nicely.
Thursday, the new crew went to
Wroxeter to feed 170 folks. The
crew consisted of Norm Dobson,
George Adams, Catrina Josling,
Judy Lee, Jo -Ann McDonald and
Daisy Schmidt. they had a good day
once they got started and things
flowed nicely.
The third fry of the week was in
Hensall for the Legion. The crew
consisted of Jo -Ann McDonald,
Judy Lee, Sandra Josling and Lloyd
and Mabel Glanville. They fed 170
people as well and had a good day.
Lots of work for this week and
now a break for a bit. The Brussels
Legion's own fish fry will be held
Canada Day so mark it on your
calendar.
The Saturday afternoon euchre
had 15 -and -a -half tables of players
attend the day. The winners were:
Edna McLellan and Judy Hahn, 74;
second, Joann MacDonald and
Dorothy Carter, 73; third, May and
Lillian; low, Doreen and Judy, 44;
lone hands, Hazel McGonigle and
Janet Davies, seven. Euchre is every
two weeks.
The Branch is still looking for
volunteers to take turns helping with
the day. Call the Branch or Glenn
Bridge if you could volunteer
occasionally.
The Sunday night dance had
nearly 70 people enjoying the music
of the Tri Country Band.
Everyone is very pleased with the
new washrooms and glad they
don't have to go downstairs
any more. Dances are every two
weeks.

the firefighters was well worth a
smile and a wee tear — good for
them.
Finally, I'm smiling as I think of
Ida Evans, a lady who lived her life
in Grey and Brussels as a kind
generous soul. When she died in
2001 money was given to many
places in Brussels that Ida saw as
important — to name but a few, the
church, the library, the institute,
horticulture, the arena and others. To
keep Ida's legacy alive, some of the
United Church money, which was
well used over the years brought
smiles to others last week. To Camp
Menesetung and their accessibility
project to the Brussels pool for
repairs and another smile to Fort
McMurray rebuild.
Giving hope and love to the world
with time or money or smiles, just
makes that corner just a bit nicer
place to live.
The Farmers' Market is a busy
spot on Friday afternoons. Good
food, lots of it grown here and the
rest just looks too good to resist.
Homemade bread and organic items
as well as Storey's good pork and
Amos' summer sausage, Rosemary's
pies and jams, flowers and plants
from Datema's crafts of material and
recycled wood and treats from the
new shop JoyLouMou Delights and
that's just some of the goodies.
Music and food is also offered so
