It was a beautiful weekend to get together inside and outside. It was a good week for Comrade Sandra to be on holidays as there was very little happening at the Branch. Comrade Glenn did a fine job filling in for her. The Huron County Dairy Producers held a meeting Monday evening upstairs. There were about 80 producers on hand to elect a representative to the Dairy Board of Ontario. They enjoyed coffee, chocolate milk and cookies before and after the meeting. The downstairs ladies room is completed except for some minor trim. It looks very nice – clean and bright and ready for use. The fall newsletter should be arriving anytime. Look for it in your mailbox. This was a reminder of a very important general meeting next Tuesday evening, Oct. 22 at 8 p.m. The focus will be on accessibility issues at the Branch. The Friday night suppers resume on Friday and the first supper will be roast beef. The poppy canvas of the town of Brussels and surrounding area is on Saturday, Oct. 26 in the morning.

NEWS FROM BRUSSELS Bread for bread As part of the last Brussels Farmers’ Market of the season, Brussels United Church held a bake sale at the market, raising money for the church. (Denny Scott photo) Brussels Library gets closer to completion Lots of visitors and visiting went on last weekend as folks took the time to be thankful for our way of life. Country, peace, clean water and family are all things that come to us, just because we’re here. For these we are thankful. We often take for granted the opportunities that are available to us, that many countries only dare to dream. We have health care and education for all, freedom to worship and live a faith with a God of your choice; freedom to travel as well as to choose you life’s work. Yes even the blessing, or curse, of stating your opinion is often forgotten. Oh yes we have much to be thankful for in Huron County. The puttering continues. Good dry weather and warm pleasant days make puttering about outside fun. No pressure from the cold to rush, no rain pushing the jobs on, an extra holiday for the working set and the nice feeling of tucking things in for a cozy winter. So the work continues. Soup & More 2 volunteers gathered at Melville Presbyterian Church at the first of the month to review their labours. Starting into the fourth year of serving meals on Friday at noon, this meeting took a pleasant look back. Getting the meals ready every week takes good organization and Elaine Armstrong and Mary Douma make sure the food and workers are there. To the credit of our community we have 35 volunteers who take their turn in the many areas of preparing food on site. For the volunteers, the fun of meeting new friends, working with someone different, not being responsible for a whole meal, doing and serving a new recipe and seeing the folks, often 40, enjoy the time together makes the few hours all worthwhile. Numbers are always a surprise so when Elaine reported for the past year that 2,075 free meals were served and we still have some cash, you know that good things continue to happen. Feel free to pop in any Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and try some good food served with a smile. The library is looking fine. Construction continues and anticipation is growing to see the real thing all ready to use. The fundraising people had a tour the other night, were duly impressed and settled some plans to help us with our part in the payment scheme. Your charitable donation will be expected. The library holds special memories for many – picking out your book, being allowed to go there alone, sitting on the steps with your friends and attending many meetings there. So be ready, your part is important to our history. Bye now, Betty G. W.
