Don’t forget to check around the
village for treasures on Saturday
morning. There are folks planning
their own yard sales as well as the
one at the Londesborough United
Church.
The church group welcomes
donations to this sale. Donations can
be left at the church any day this
week.
Bake sale items can be taken in on
Friday during the day or early
evening or early Saturday morning.
The sale is advertised as running
from 7:30 a.m. to noon.
I don’t know about your calendar
this month but at our house every
day seems full of things to do.
Suddenly the grass needs cut, the
gardens need tending and planting,
windows need washing, etc.
Not to mention all the social
things we’ve waited all winter to do.
And you all still want your mail
every day.
But if you are interested in an
evening out, take in the cabaret night
at the Varna complex on May 30
featuring the Blyth Festival Singers.
Along with music by that choir, their
guests are soloist Mary Smith and
pianist-composer, Agnes-Marie
Henderson.
The concert, Contemporary
Stylings, features contemporary pop
and light rock songs. The evening,
for $25, includes dinner and silent
auction.
Tickets are available from all the
Festival singers.
Londesborough United’s senior
choir will gather for practice at 10
a.m. on May 17. The
Londesborough United Church
Women will hold their May meeting
on Monday, May 18, beginning at
7:30 p.m.

Londesborough was the place for hungry diners on
Saturday night as the United Church hosted its ham and
salad supper. Darcie Brohman, four, finished up her meal
with the warm season treat. (Vicky Bremner photo)
It was a full house at the
Londesborough Community Hall on
Friday, May 8 for the card party
hosted by the Happy Gang
Seniors.
There were 20 tables of euchre
players that evening.
At the end of playing, Jane and
Betty were declared the first-place
couple with 77 points.
Close behind in second, with
76 points, were Randy and Peter.
There was a three-way tie for third
place with 72 points – Jack and
Helen Lee, Bill and Marjory
Humphries and Rita Flynn and
Verna Gibbings.
Jim and Kathy Bridge and Harold
and Doris McClinchey shared the
prize for most successful lone hands.
Both scored six.
The group will hold its next card
party on June 12.
At their May meeting at
the Londesborough Hall on
Wednesday, April 29, the
seniors’ group was addressed by
June Thomas. She gave a
demonstration of how she crochets
milk bag strips into sleeping mats
for children in Third World
countries.
She and the school would
appreciate donations of bags for this
project.
The pupils from kindergarten toGrade 8 at Hullett Central PublicSchool shared music of many kinds
with the audience on May 6.
The senior band welcomed
everyone with two numbers. The
clarinet section was featured in their
second selection, Chester.
The kindergarten pupils showed
that ‘they got rhythm’. Using sticks
and movement the JKAs journeyed
along the Wizard of Oz’s yellow
brick road in time to the music.
Action with sticks to the Sesame
Street tune was JKB’s part of the
concert.
Then all the SKs did actions and
stick rhythms to the song, It’s a
Small World.
Lions was the topic of the song
offered by the Grade 1 class and the
Grade 2/3 class sang about thunder
and lightning.
The Grade 3 class sang a Tale of
Two Toads. The toads got caught in
a pan of cream. One toad panicked
and sank. The other toad swam and
swam until the cream became butter
and he easily got out. The moral of
this song was ‘just keep on
swimming’.
Another rhythm exercise taught
by Mrs. Barnett was demonstrated
by the Grade 3 pupils. As Mrs.
Barnett drummed the children
paired up and did tapping actions
with one-foot wooden dowels.
Pupils in Grades 1, 2 and 3 make
up Hullett’s primary choir and theyentertained with two numbers. Onewas a song about wheels they have
ridden.
The other, A Song of Sharing,
reminded the audience that when
one gives the gift will come back to
you.
The junior choir of children in
Grades 4 and 5 sang about 7 Fat
Fishermen and The Rhythm of the
Rain, a three-part song. The two
choirs joined to sing, Child of the
Universe. This number encouraged
everyone to let their spirit fly even in
an ever-changing world.
The senior music class was
presented with a challenge – to put
together a video presentation about
the music they enjoy. The challenge
was also to enhance their writing
skills for they were to explain the
music genre they chose and try to
convince others to listen as well.
The five presentations viewed that
night included country music,
classic rock, rock and techno.
The attribute recipe this week
