We hope everyone had an
enjoyable Thanksgiving with family
and friends. 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.
Comrades are asked to help out by
driving Cadets to the surrounding
areas or to help canvas the town with
a Cadet.

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.
