Again this year the evening was a resounding success with in excess of $12,000 raised. This money will be used to fund playground equipment upgrades, athletic equipment, and various departments of the school such as music, French and classrooms. The success was the result of many creative and dedicated volunteers. On behalf of the SAC members, Mary Ann Drost submitted details of the evening: “The beautiful warm evening seemed in concert with the theme for the carnival, Hawaiian Luau. The school featured Hawaiian decorations and leis were offered to attendees to help them get in the spirit of the event. And there was certainly a party atmosphere in the school. There were 300 items of every description donated by school families, staff and commun- ity persons offered in the silent auction. There truly was something to interest everyone. Burt Lobb sold three donations by live auction, alarge wooden shelf unit, tickets to aLondon Knights game and tickets to Sugarland at the JLC. He also sold delicious desserts from the staff to the lucky bidders. The centre of the gym was extremely busy as folks bid on the interesting theme baskets put together by individual classrooms. Included were sports baskets, movie night baskets and beach party baskets. There was a games room, face painting, a penny sale and a clown to entertain the children. Bugsy, the clown, Brenda Empey, also made balloon creations for the children. And the bake table was a big draw as well. The food booth attendants were kept busy offering pizza, hot dogs, juice, ice cream, popcorn and cotton candy. The parent council and Hullett staff are appreciative of all those who supported and helped with the evening in any way. The fantastic attendance was overwhelming. Without the support of such a great community, the auction would not have been a success. UCW to conduct service in minister’s absence 8 tables in play at Ethel party Continued from page 10 handling the program that evening, Cheryl Trewartha, Ann Adams and Catherine Allen chose readings, hymns to reinforce using one’s talents. One story told of a young girl who, upon learning how malaria kills many in Third World Countries, organized the purchase of mosquito netting to protect them. The scripture passage from Matthew that was read spoke of not hiding one’s light under a bush but letting one’s light shine for others to see. A number of items were discussed briefly during the business part of the meeting. The UCW will conduct the Sunday service when Rev. Cook attends conference in late May. Anyone who feels comfortable taking part in that service in some way, should contact Joan Goodall. Also there are a few tickets yet for the trip to Grand Bend to see Oliver. Again contact Joan Goodall to attend. The UCW will have a bake table at the upcoming church and yard sale. Donations would be appreciated for this fundraiser. Items for Camp Menesetung will be roll call for the June UCW meeting. With thanks!
