The Cadets met on Tuesday evening at their normal time and have a great number of Cadets in the Corp this year. They are divided into levels and are working at their Star Level requirements. They were tagging in Brussels last weekend, which is a fundraiser for the Corps. They are still collecting pop cans and returnable bottles as a means to raise funds for the Corps. The 140th anniversary committee Levee sub-committee met on Tuesday evening also. They are organizing the entertainment for the afternoon and it will hopefully be an entertaining affair. The efforts of the committee include the brainwaves of Bob Richmond, Jo-Ann McDonald, Donna Prior, Mary Ann Thompson, Dave Stephenson and Gary Pipe. Mark Jan. 1 on the calendar to come to the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre to kick off the new year and Brussels’ upcoming 140th birthday.
