BRUSSELS VARIETY
Weather doesn’t dampen holiday spirits
NEWS
FROM BRUSSELS
Music is in the air. We hum along,
or outright sing to the favourites. So
if we pick, – “well the weather
outside is frightful…”, it probably
means we’re ready for a little snow
for the season. But like so much of
life, our choices are fairly limited on
some aspects of life and so the snow
and Christmas are not ours to fix,
whatever your preference.
This mild December we are
having is also weird for the plants
and animals in our midst. The
squirrels are getting down right
chubby with the extra feeding time
and the primulas at Tara and Murray
Pipes think it is spring already.
Surprises are coming for all.
School concerts were the chat of
many proud parents and
grandparents as the area schools
celebrated the season with song,
dance and story. Memories are made
at functions such as these. Don’t you
remember holding the letters C* H*
R* I* S* T* M* A* S* as the class
sang the words or giggling as “I saw
Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” was
belted out.
Christmas rituals all are part of
this time. A time to think of others
and a time to make the world a better
place, one deed at a time. So the kids
once again did the older set proud.
One of the Brussels traditions for
community is the Christmas Choral
Night, held on Sunday evening at St.
Ambrose Roman Catholic Church.
The Ministerial sets up the evening
and the local church choirs take it
from there.
Favourite selections are sung,
timely scripture is read and everyone

pepperettes and pork tenderloin. (Denny Scott photo)
At the Branch
Meat draw fundraiser a success
By Jo-Ann McDonald
It has been busy around the
Brussels Legion Branch this week.
The construction is progressing
nicely and the Branch hosted a
“Boost the Build” fundraiser on
Saturday. Over 80 people turned out
to support the Branch in its meat
draws and wing night. There were
36 happy winners at the end of the
night going home with turkeys,
hams and shrimp rings and one
extra happy winner going home
with the mega prize of over $150 in
meat! It was a great night with lots
of members helping to make it a
success. The cooks included new
members Tyler Verbeek, Ryan
Shaw, Mark Campbell and Ron
Schmidt. Running was Jim Brown
and kitchen help included Mabel
Glanville, Nanci Ducharme and
Sharon Robbins. The draw was in
the hands of Sandra Josling, Lisa
Glanville, Joan Smith, Daisy Wong
Schmidt, Deb Ross and BJ
Hummel. A great job by all.
The week of activities also
included preparing the funeral lunch
for the family of Doug Evans. The
funeral was held at the Ethel Fire
Hall and the lunch as well.
Preparing the lunch were Linda Bird
and friend Linda Meier, Jean
Bridge, Mabel Glanville and
travelling to Ethel to serve the lunch
were Linda Bird, Mabel, Jo-Ann
and Rick McDonald. They were
