THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2009.The Women of LondesboroughUnited Church met in the Sundayschool room on Monday, Feb. 16.Three young girls from thecongregation who were winners inthe Hullett school, public speakingday were on hand. Two sisters,
Jazlyn and Avery Wright, from the
primary division recited their poems.
Jazlyn offered the poem, Lousy
Catchers’ Mitt and Avery repeated
the poem, I Wrote a Lousy Poem.
Valerie Westerhout had all the
ladies laughing as she delivered her
speech, Laughter As a Medicine.
The theme for the year for the
Huron Perth Presbyterial of the
UCW is “touch the earth lightly”.
The idea of ‘going green’ was the
theme for the rest of the programthat evening.Another girl from the area, LexiAitkin, who also gave a winningspeech at the school was present togive her speech, Going Green. Herspeech gave many suggestions that
everyone could incorporate into their
daily living to help heal the world.
The hymn, Touch the World
Lightly, was sung and Lena Nesbitt
read Psalm 65. A dialogue about a
chance meeting at the grocery store
between Rena Kolkman and Barb
Bosman offered many more ways to
conserve and not squander the
world’s resources.
Jane Hoggart found a humorous
story, Potty Talk for the
Romantically Inclined, thatcombined conservation suggestionswith Valentine’s Day. The ladiespresent also offered their own tipsfor how to be better stewards ofGod’s world.Then Barb read, You Are Special,
by Max Lucado. Although it is a
children’s book, the idea that
everyone must recognize their own
worth regardless of what others
think is important to adults as well.
The annual theatre evening has
been set for June 17 to see Oliver at
Huron County Playhouse in Grand
Bend. Anyone wishing to go might
contact Joan Goodall.
The UCW meeting for March will
be held on Friday, March 6. That

482-9826 or the post office. When
the snow arrived last week, I heard
one man bemoan the fact that we are
now experiencing the third winter of
this winter. I thought that summed
up this season.
As a result many activities were
cancelled in the past number of days.
One of those was the morning
service at Londesborough United
Church.
The 2008 annual meeting has been
rescheduled for Sunday, March 1.
The lunch following the church
service that morning will be
provided. You do not need to bring
potluck as was suggested in last
week’s column. Several other
announcements were noted in the
order of service not used. Next
Sunday, March 1, the sacrament of
communion will be observed at
Londesborough United.
Confirmation classes will begin on
Thursday, March 5 at the churchfrom 4 - 5:30 p.m. Mentors are toattend the meetings as well.The cancelled official boardmeeting of last week will be held onTuesday, March 10 beginning at7:30 p.m. New members of the
board are asked to attend.
The junior youth group will meet
at the Vanastra Rec Centre on Friday,
Feb. 27 at 7 p.m. for swimming and
devotions. The cost is $2 per person.
The Londesborough family movie
night will also be held at the church
the same night beginning at 7 p.m.
The feature movie is Surf’s Up.
Saturday, March 7 the Sunday
school will hold a skating party at
the Blyth arena from 4 - 5 p.m.
Everyone is invited to take a turn
around the ice. Lunch of chili and
hot dogs will be provided. You are
asked to bring along finger food
dessert items.
Turnberry Central School will
host the ARC meetings this
Thursday, Feb. 26 at 7 p.m.
A couple of weeks ago I
mentioned some folks in the village
who were dealing with winter woes.
Someone not seen by her
neighbours for some weeks is
Rosemary Johnston. Seems she
slipped or tripped on her own steps
on Monday morning as she headed
for work and broke her foot. She is
moving about with the help of an air
cast.
Jim, too, is dealing with a nasty
medical diagnosis that may keep
him close to home for a while as
well.
Little shopper
Alexis Bernier, three, made her choices at the used book
sale in Londesborough this past week at Radford’s. The
fundraiser was held to support the Cullen family as they
cope with illness. Organizer Brenda Radford said the sale
continues until Saturday with new books arriving every day.
To date $1,100 has been raised. (Vicky Bremner photo)
Brave crew
The Londesborough Lions braved the elements on Saturday to serve breakfast to the folks
who turned out to participate in the Snowarama, hosted by the North Huron clubs. The men
were kept busy as the sudden return of winter had enthusiasts keen to hit the trails. (Vicky
