(Denny Scott photo) Over-80 party set for July 26 The regular meeting of the Belgrave United Church Women was held at the home of Donna Shaw, with Sheila Nixon’s group in charge of the meeting. She opened with a poem, “Come away from the Din” and everyone answered the roll call with mentioning something they would take to a picnic. Barbara Anderson’s worship was on the theme of friendship and her scripture was Exodus I, where the king ordered Shiphrah and Puah, midwives to kill all the boy babies born. They did not do this, so they became friends of the people. Jesus also had many friends, from children to the sick and elderly and especially his disciples. Muriel Coultes gave the treasurer’s report and Pat Hunking reported she had sent six cards. The annual over-80 birthday celebration was planned for Tuesday, July 26 at 2 p.m. in the church. Committees were put in place to plan the celebration. Sheila Nixon then did her program on having a picnic and she had brought many items you would take. She talked about taking healthy and organic food, and also what would make a good gluten-free picnic. She displayed her items on a blanket and tablecloth with items to make the picnic interesting. She discussed why we go on a picnic, to rest, have a visit with friends or maybe just take a book to read. Other types of picnics are garden parties, family reunions and why not have a picnic with God? She closed with a reading “Today is your best day”. The next meeting will be Sept. 6 at 7:30 p.m. The meeting closed with the benediction and grace. Donna Shaw served lunch around the table. Model from Belgrave goes to Toronto modeling workshop Former Belgrave resident Lisa Black was discovered as a model, did some modeling and then auditioned and was accepted to attend this year’s 19th annual Canadian Model and Talent Convention earlier this year in Toronto. She attended workshops, seminars, competitions, net- working, awards, call-backs and opened up contract opportunities. There were 50 or more of the top world modeling and talent agents attending and scouting new talent. Only 350 Canadian models were invited to attend and Black was honoured to be one of them. This was an excellent opportunity for Black to see and be seen by the world’s top modeling and talent agents, managers and directors. Black has a portfolio filled with beautiful pictures done by both local and internationally-renowned photographers.
