At the Branch
Summer dinners set
to take centre stage
By Jo-Ann McDonald
Welcome to summer, it seems!
The hot weather arrived and it
means the Brussels Legion Branch
will soon become very busy with
fish fry dinners. Hopefully
Comrades will have time to help at
the events when called.
The Branch had another fairly
large event at the Trinity United
Church in Listowel last week. They
fed 340 people. Comrades helping
the Branch were Glenn Bridge, Deb
Cann, Daisy Wong Schmidt, Bob
and Monica Richardson, George
Adams, Linda Bird, Judy Lee and
Jo-Ann McDonald. Great job by the
crew! The next fry is at our
own Branch at the end of the
month.
A reminder to any ex-service
members and veterans who need an
appointment with the Provincial
Service Officers, to contact Branch
Service Officer Mabel Glanville to
make arrangements for an
appointment as soon as possible.
The Growing Forward initiative
held a seminar at the Branch on
Friday with a dozen or so folks
taking the course. They will hold a
second session this week on Friday.

The love was aflowing on Sunday
as mothers were saluted in various
forms. Each mother is different, just
as each child is unique and so the
expressions of love were delivered
in many ways. The cards from
daycare, the dandelions in a jar, the
coupons for toilet duty or hugs, the
washed car, the restaurant meal, the
spring bouquet and a big hug are all
saying the same thing – I love you
Mom.
Miss Avery Cochrane made her
name known on Sunday as she
patiently let Rev. Gary Clark baptize
her. While admiring relatives and
friends looked on, Samantha and
Adam’s lovely daughter was
welcomed to the United Church of
Canada by the Brussels
congregation. Meanwhile the guitar
choir showed their varying abilities,
with Rev. Gary as the lead as they
accompanied the congregation in
three well-known songs. If you have
a hankering to learn where the
strings of a guitar belong, lessons at
the United Church will begin again
in the fall.
As we pass through this life we all
have unique variables that affect
how our journey goes. As I age, the
choices that are made and the public
attitude to the journey are important
to watch. All choices are hard, but
when made and carried through, the
journey progresses. Life is not a
comparison, but a gift, and how we
accept that gift is our decision alone.
As age increases and health fails, the
choices can be tough. But it is the
journey that is ours each day, until
this part is done. The next leg of the
journey is an unknown mystery, but
for now we have today.
When someone dies, we think,
“how would I handle that?” and
“what would my family do?” and
that too, is a personal trip. So as we
observe life and death, we carry our
own memories of that person. This
past week Trish Clarkson died. At
5Rs she was one of the recycling
queens. She regularly volunteered at
the store over the years and when I
think of Trish, I go to ideas,
compassion, energy and smiles. She
was often in the store when we had
folks in helping tear down boxes and
other duties. With her wonderful
smile and attitude on recycling, the
other volunteers did their jobs so
much better. So one of our recycling
queens is gone, but she left our
community with a good example of
living life.
This is Nurse’s Week, so thank
one. You never know when you
might need them badly.
Enjoy the spring weather.
Bye now, Betty G.W.
