Day of Prayer set for March 16
The ladies who did venture out to
the UCW meeting in spite of the
cold and unpleasant weather on
Monday, Feb. 16, Family Day
learned that February is Heritage
month. They were treated to an
interesting and informative trip
down memory lane by Crystal
Whyte, Helen Lobb and Dorothy
Bogie.
One often hears the expression at
Christmas that Joseph, therefore
Jesus, were of the house and lineage
of David. Dorothy clarified the
genealogy of Abraham through to
King David. The ladies present had
an opportunity to share some of their
own heritage.
Canadian heritage moments were
enjoyed through a video
presentation by Crystal – 50 years of
the Canadian flag, Sir John A.
McDonald and Confederation, Vimy
Ridge, the Stratford Festival, and
inspirational Canadian women -
Laura Secord, Nellie McClung,
Emily Carr and Mona Parsons. The
program included a video about
Expo 67 - A Place to Stand, an event
familiar to the ladies present.
Helen Lobb spoke about
‘downtown and community’ which
everywhere include historic
buildings, landmarks, churches,
shops and restaurants familiar to
everyone. Londesborough’s past was
revisited from its time of being
laying out in 1850 by Hagyard.
Fast on the heels of a successful
‘apron sewing’ day, ladies were
invited to come out on March 4 to
make baby blankets. There is no
sewing involved. Bring along
scissors, cutting boards and wheels
and a lunch. These blankets are
distributed throughout the
community. Snow date is the March
11.
The March meeting for the group
is Monday, March 16. The meeting
will take the form of the World Day
of Prayer Service for 2015. The
service itself will begin at 7:30 p.m.
Lunch will be served at the end of
the evening and will feature foods
from the Bahamas. The ladies of the
Bahamas wrote this year’s service.
Other items of business included
having the pianos tuned and
checked, purchasing new mattresses
for the cabin at Camp Menesetung,
purchasing a lily for the narthex for
Easter and maintaining the Mission
and Service Fund allocation at
$2100.
The Outreach Committee of
Londesborough United have learned
that shelves at area food banks get
empty by this time of the winter.
Consequently they have set out
donation boxes through the church
for the Sundays of March 8, 15 and
22. They encourage you to be
generous.

Doing their part
The Londesborough United Church, specifically its Sunday
School children, held their annual lunch fundraiser on
Sunday and raised over $300 for the Sunday School. More
important than the money raised, however, were the smiles
created by the warm meal and warmer smiles of the
congregation. Here, Courtney Bergsma can barely contain
her mid-meal excitement. (Jasmine deBoer photo)
Here we are already in the month
of March, the wearing of the green
month. In celebration of St. Patrick,
patron saint of Ireland, everyone at
Hullett Central School is encouraged
to come to school dressed in green
clothing on March 13, the last day of
classes before March Break.
The Student Advisory Council
(SAC) group is giving advance
notice of the annual "fun fair" to be
held at the Blyth Community Centre
on May 1. More details will develop
as the weeks go by.
The senior volleyball teams
competed in the regional tournament
at Central Huron Secondary School
(CHSS) in Clinton recently and
deserve congratulations. The boys
team finished the day in first place
and the girls brought home second
place honours.
On March 11, Kindergarten pupils
and their families will have a fun
afternoon snowshoeing and
celebrating the learning ongoing in
Kindergarten.
Monday, Feb. 23 Hullett held its
in-school speeches and story-telling
competition as the first stage in the
annual Royal Canadian Legion
contest. Judged the most proficient
in the primary division were Shea
Cox, Myrah Caldwell and Connor
Dale. The junior finishers were
Colby Dale, Ella Sawchuck and
Nadia Bingham. Chosen as winners
in the intermediate division were
Jaden Shortreed, Leah Caldwell and
Claire Scrimgeour. Congratulations
to all who summoned up the courage
to present their story or speech to the
whole school. You are all winners for
that. The speeches chosen as best in
division will compete at the
Goderich Legion on Saturday,
March 7. May the luck of the Irish
be with the Hullett speakers!
Boys win gold at volleyball tournament
Big win
The Hullett Central Public School Hawks boys volleyball
team was able to earn a first-place finish in a local
tournament last week. Hosted at Central Huron Secondary
School on Wednesday, the tournament featured competing
teams facing off all day to determine a winner. Shown
above are: Tanner Boven, front and Luke Forbes during one
