On Friday, April 17 the StudentAdvisory Council to Hullett CentralPublic School held its annual
Community Fun Night and Auction
at the school.
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!
