It’s that day that things get stuffed in shoes and signs put on backs and pants get sewn up and other things done to see if you’re paying attention to life. You’ve been warned, April Fool’s Day is here. With the departure of March we seem to think the inclement weather is past and so the community comesalive with things to do and places to be. The Optimist Club used thelast Saturday of March to support the United Way this year. Good food by Cardiff Catering set the mood for a fun night of supporting several groups in our community that look to the United Way for funding. Good work once again guys. On Sunday the Blyth Festival Singers have a great concert ready for you. It’s in Clinton United with an African bent as their guest soloist Denise Pelley is joining them with lots of great music to enjoy. Get your tickets. The United Church bunch are doing some different fundraising this spring. You may know about the wreaths that some of the creativeones have made for sale. Springwreaths, Easter, animals, gardening,princess, they have a wreath for you. And if you’re too busy to cook while hanging your wreath, another gang has oven-ready food for you. Pizza, meat pies, jam and jelly names a few of the things that co-ordinators Nanci Ducharme, Shauna Hamilton and Julie Jutzi with other United folks can order for you. So spring is here, the concerts and fundraising have begun in earnest. Save April 10 for the Presbyterian Springtime Supper. The menu is planned and it will be ready for your enjoyment from 4:30 to 7 p.m. that day. So don’t miss a good supper, get your tickets soon. Alma, Ralph and I, met John and Wendy on Saturday to catch up ontwo very different trips duringMarch Break. Wendy and daughterChristine took an enjoyable cruise that involved several islands, nice weather and all the amenities of a cruise ship. John hit Nicaragua with their church in a project that involved digging a lot of clay in very warm weather. Several other projects were also involved to help Moravian people be independent. John and Wendy both are tanned and happy with their time away and made for very different conversations at the table. So do what you can with April, including getting your income tax papers gathered, it’s a nice month. Enjoy. Bye now, Betty G.W. By Betty Graber Watson Call 887-9231 A NOTE FROM BETTY At the Branch Branch reports February as a loss due to service costs By Jo-Ann McDonald The week began with the executive/general meeting being held on Tuesday, March 22. Comrade Deb Cann conducted the meeting in the absence of President John Lowe. There were eight executive members present. Committee reports were given and membership stands at 131, down slightly from 2010 members. The canteen chairman, Eric Ross, confirmed a positive bar report and will be getting new liquor pourers. Comrade Andy Overholt, Nevada Chairman, reported that the prizes for public speaking and other donations have diminished the Nevada fund and the Legion is now on the last box of tickets. The financial report for February showed a loss for the month due to the high cost of gas and hydro bills. The catering report and the fish fry report list many upcoming events. Comrade Deb Cann would like help on the nominating committee and Comrade Wanda Walker volunteered to help. There are positions to fill and if any Comrade out there would like to sit on the executive, please call the Branch at 519-887-6562 and leave your name and number or call Comrade Cann. The Thursday night dart league had 14 darters having fun.

Don’t forget to drop into the Legion on Saturday for the silent auction. There have been many great items donated by members and members can still bring items in early Saturday morning, especially the baking items. Everyone is welcome.
