(Denny Scott photo) Wendy Martin returns from Laos The long weekend is nearly here. An extra day to enjoy the warm weather, a few hours to do as you please, time to appreciate the joy of a long weekend. So if it’s camping or gardening or setting off fire crackers, enjoy the leisure. Mother’s Day was celebrated inmany homes on the weekend, aslong as schedules permitted. Whenwork involves 24-hour scheduling,alternate plans are always needed. A little give and take and then the children of all ages have marked the day. Attending church with mom is always a great gift, as well walks to the park, flowers and meals together. No matter the gesture, mom will tell you it’s just right. If you see a familiar, but questionable face around town in the next few weeks, let me help. Wendy Martin is visiting with her parents Howard and Alice to catch up on all things Brussels. Laos is Wendy’s home country for now, where she isadministrator for the MennoniteCentral Committee. In her capacity,she co-ordinates several projects,that come at the request of the Laotian government. Wendy has been there for nearly four years and seeing improvement in the lives of the people in this rural area is encouraging. English as a second language, agricultural school and irrigation projects are the important ones right now. Working with a Communist government and paying people with rice for digging ditches seem foreign to us but that is just part of Wendy’s life at this time.

The last Friday night supper was held with about 35 people enjoying a great meal. It was a potluck of a variety of dishes like roast beef, ham, sweet and sour meatballs, turkey creole and chicken breast prepared by Jo-Ann and her helpers, Deb Caan and Mabel Glanville. Helen Dobson provided her usual bevy of delicious pies for dessert. When the meal was over, George Cousins said some very kind words about the Legion and the dedicated cooks who have worked at providing the meals this year. He thanked us for our hard work and the many delicious meals. Everyone applauded the remarks. Jo-Ann thanked George and thanked everyone for supporting the Branch by attending the meals. The meals have been prepared, served and provided by Jo-Ann McDonald, Deb Caan, Mary Bradshaw, Helen Dobson and Mabel Glanville. The ladies are taking a break for the summer and will return in the fall. The men and women of the Men’s Huron County Dart League and the Ladies’ Bluewater Dart League joined together on Saturday to participate in a tournament day to finish the season. The nice weather kept the numbers taking part rather low, but they enjoyed the day. A banquet followed with close to 40 enjoying a roast beef dinner served by the Branch. Branch members Jo- Ann McDonald, Judy Lee and Mabel Glanville worked for the Branch and Randy White, Andy Overholt and Alisha Whitelaw looked after bartending duties.
