UCW planning theatre trip to Blyth Festival show
I feel as though this week’s
column is filled with upcoming
activities for all in Londesborough
and area to keep in mind in the
coming weeks. Your support for all
of these events will be appreciated.
And as they say, doing something for
someone else usually ends up being
a heartwarming experience.
The Londesborough Happy Gang
Seniors no longer host a card party
in support of the Clinton Public
Hospital Auxiliary. However, these
card parties are still ongoing in the
area and you might continue your
support at another location, and they
all promise dessert and coffee.
Next Monday, April 13, you could
play euchre or bridge at the Blyth
Legion at 1 p.m. The Clinton United
Church offers an afternoon of cards
on Thursday, April 9 at 1 p.m. The
Bayfield United Church hosts two
events on Friday, April 17, 1 and 7
p.m.
Everyone is welcome at these
locales. Cost is $5.
The Londesborough UCW is
planning a theatre outing to Blyth
again this summer. Decisions
regarding this evening will be
solidified at the next UCW meeting
so stay posted and plan to be part of
the group.
An annual event for UCW
members is Westminster Weekend in
London. The date for this year’s
event is May 1-3. Contact Laura
Scott if you are interested in
attending.
The Campsite Experience for
UCW is set for June 8 at Camp
Menesetung. Keep this date in mind
as the spring advances.
Speaking of camp, this year’s
‘wish list’ can be found in various
locations in the church. Check it out
and see if there is something on the
list you could help them with. Needs
range from maintenance supplies to
sports items, office needs and, of
course, craft supplies.
A new date was included on the
Easter Sunday order of service at
Londesborough United Church. The
stewards are hosting a take-out
supper on Wednesday, May 13.
These Swiss Chalet suppers will be
picked up in the church basement.
Tickets will be available at Nature’s
Nest and Radford’s Farm
Equipment.
Speaking of supporting great
causes, friends and family of Mike
and Stacey Lyons have done just
that. Last spring their son, Connor,
made his arrival into the world a tad
early and for one month Stacey lived
at Ronald MacDonald House in
London in order to be near him. She
states she would not know quite how
she would have coped without the
House. In appreciation she
petitioned relatives and
acquaintances to make donations.
The Lions Clubs of both
Londesborough and Auburn happily
helped as well. Along with gift
cards, toys and cupboard supplies
the couple delivered $1,800 in cash
to the House on March 20. The
village applauds your generosity,
Mike and Stacey.
Villagers probably noticed moving
activity last weekend. Grant and
Sandy Bergsma became farm
owners and Bruce and Marie
Bergsma moved into the house they
vacated. It seems all of Bruce and
Marie’s children were on hand to
help with the switch. Grant will
appreciate having more room for his
construction business and his parents
will appreciate smaller quarters.
