The Program Review and Allocation Committee (PRAC) members had a difficult task. These concerned citizens from Huron and Perth Counties have the responsibility of making choices thatwill shape the social programs of thetwo counties. This year theyreviewed applications from 24 member agencies. Susan Moffat, PRAC chair, explained the program review and allocation process by saying, “Every year volunteers from Perth and Huron County review the many applications for funding. We send ‘on-site review teams’ out to visitmany agencies and pore overfinancial and program data, in orderto determine how to best utilize the community campaign funds. Staff support the process by doing research and enabling communication, but in the end, it is the community, represented by our committee, who decide how and where the money is spent.” “We are so thankful for the many hours that these volunteers dedicate to ensuring dollars are properly spent within our community,” says Ryan Erb, Executive Director, “and we all wished we had even more money to invest in these worthy causes, but we have done something of significance, and as a result, many people will be helped.” The committee will be announcing the Demonstration and Development Grants recipients in the comingweeks.United Way Perth-Huron is alsopleased to announce continued support of the following: Local Community Food Centre, Training- 4-Success and PF Solutions (Practice Firm), Discover North Perth, Avonova Click, Volunteer Connection, The Next Step, Social Research and Planning Council and data partner 211.

It was on June 26, 1948 that Elizabeth Christena Craig, the daughter of Bert and Ena Craig of Auburn, married Leonard William Archambault, son of William and Alice Archambault of RR1, Auburn. The pair made history that day, as theirs was the first wedding to be held in the history of Auburn’s Knox United Church. The service was officiated by Rev. Harold Snell and Rev. Hewitt. The bride was attended by Edna Archambault (Duncalfe), Joan Baechler (Crawford) and Betty Lou Robinson (Murray), who was the flower girl. The groom was attended by best man Glenn Patterson, Earl Craig and Roy Faulkner. The organist for the day was Vivian Straughan (Pentland) and the soloist was Zeta Munroe (Baechler). Special guest waitresses for the event were Jewel McClinchey (Plunkett), Audrey Andrews (Machan), June McCabe (Johnston), Dolly Beadle (Miller) and Helen Johnston (McFarlane). After the wedding, the couple honeymooned in the Thousand Islands before travelling to Ottawa and Montreal. Upon returning home, the couple rented a house at RR1, Auburn across from the family farm for one year, before moving onto the farm property. Leonard and Betty had four children: Doug, and his wife Cheryl Archambault; Brenda, and her husband Don Parker; Rick, and his wife Shirley Archambault and Marilyn, and her husband Tom McMahon. They have 10 grandchildren and 12 great- grandchildren. Leonard spent his whole life as a farmer, as well as a carpenter. He can still be seen going over to the family’s barn every morning, and even some nights. Leonard spent several years as a Hullett Township Councillor, as well as a director for Senior Citizens of Ontario. Betty is a current member of Auburn’s Walkerburn Club. She has been a member of the Women’s Institute for 65 years and is a charter member of the Order of the Eastern Star. Both still serve on the committee for the Senior Games, they are avid card players and used to curl and square dance. They currently enjoy going to musical shows as well. Leonard and Betty lived on the farm until their son Rick was married and took over. At that time they built a house on another farm on the 13th of Hullett, retaining the same address they have had for the last 65 years. The couple celebrated with their friends and family on Sunday, June 30 at the Auburn Community Centre.
