At the Branch
Cemetery decoration
day set for June 28
By Jo-Ann McDonald
The week at Brussels Legion
Branch began with the Growing
Forward group meeting on Monday.
They had to finish their sessions
from the previous week’s work. The
Branch was closed for Victoria Day.
Tuesday evening was the general
meeting and installation of officers.
Comrade Glenn Bridge installed the
executive. Everyone was present for
the service. Regular business was
discussed. Brussels Cemetery
decoration Sunday will be June 28
and we hope everyone keeps the day
open. The Brussels Cemetery always
looks its best that day. The service is
for all members of the community to
come and remember loved ones who
have passed during the past years.
Some housekeeping chores were
dealt with by Comrades Rick
McDonald and Jim Alton on the
weekend. Large items headed for the
dump. It is spring, so some other
days will have to be found to do
more of the same.
It has been a nice break with a
couple of weeks off from doing fish
fry dinners. The Branch is gearing
up again with its own fry this
weekend. After a long day of garage
sales, drop into the Branch to have
fish for dinner. The month of June
will be busy with five dinners
booked, so hopefully folks are
available when called upon to help.
Any other members out there
wanting to help or to take on more of
a role on the crew can call Jo-Ann
anytime.

While they may be too young to drink beer, Brussels Leo Club members Trevor and Megan
Exel were able, and determined, to collect bottles throughout the village on Saturday to help
raise money for the club’s sports pad project near the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community
Centre. To date, the club has received a number of donations from Brussels service clubs, as
well as Libro Credit Union, to make the sports pad a reality. (Jasmine deBoer photo)
WI learns good food choices
The Majestic Women’s Institute
met at Zehrs in Listowel at 1:30 p.m.
for their May meeting. Marie
McCutcheon introduced Amanda
Mulder, nutritionist for Zehrs in
Listowel and Stratford. Amanda
took the members on a tour of the
store.
She told the members that the
store items around the outside of the
store are the most healthy choices in
the store. Amanda demonstrated
how to choose the best avocado, how
to prepare it for eating and gave each
member a sample to taste. The
greener the lettuce is, the better it is
for you. Each person should eat
seven different fruits and vegetables
each day to keep healthy. Choose
whole fruit more often than juice.
Whole fruits are filling and provide
fibre, as well as vitamins and
minerals. Fish should be on the
menu every week. Extra lean
hamburger, pork tenderloin, salmon
and tuna are a good substitute for red
meat. Plain yogurt can be substituted
instead of mayonnaise or sour
cream. Steel cut oats, oatmeal and
quinoa are a good choice for
breakfast. Bread products with
whole grain flour as the first
ingredient are healthiest as well.
Amanda explained the star rating
program, which is viewed beside the
price of each item.
She ended her tour by handing out
information sheets and
recommended that we try to eat
healthily 80 per cent of the time and
enjoy eating what you like twenty
percent of the time. Marie
McCutcheon thanked Amanda for
her informative talk.
The business meeting was held at
the Trillium Insurance building in
Listowel. The meeting opened with
the Institute Ode and the Mary
Stewart Collect. President, Yvonne
Knight read a poem entitled “Pearls
of Wisdom”. Leona Armstrong,
secretary read the minutes of the
April meeting and Marie
McCutcheon, treasurer gave the
treasurer’s report. It was decided to
sell share the wealth tickets at
the Brussels farmers’ market on June
12.
Marie McCutcheon conducted a
vegetable quiz and Ruth Bauer
scored the highest mark. Several
door prizes were handed out by
Marie McCutcheon.
The Institute grace was sung
followed by a delicious lunch
provided by Lucy Hesse, Bonnie
Lindsay and Yvonne Knight.
