Ellen has 10 yearsexperience with the United Way,”said Huron board president JerryMcDonnell. “We’re pleased to have her assistance while our board members are taking time to restructure the organization. We want to make sure we’re still able to launch a 2009 campaign to ensure our support for our agencies in the coming year.”After two extremely challengingcampaigns that fell short of goal in2007 and 2008 and two years ofgrant funding for Community Matters that recently ended, the board is working to establish a new order for the Huron UW. “The residents of Huron County remain our top priority as we move forward,” stated McDonnell. “We are actively seekingvolunteers for the campaign cabinetto assist with our major fundraisingprocess of the year”, reportedBalmain, “We want to remind the community that money raised in Huron County is utilized to support Huron County initiatives – ‘raise locally – invest locally’ is one of the tenets of the entire United Waymovement”.A campaign kick-off is beingplanned for late September butdonations are already being acceptedfor the 2009 campaign. While assisting with the campaign in Huron County, Ms. Balmain will continue her duties at the helm of the United Way’s 2009 campaign in Perth County. PAGE 32.

And the inside lay-out is just as thoughtful as the exterior design. An offset entrance under a covered porch, carousel windows and a pointed roof, together with an abundance of windows, a shake roof and fish scales in the roof peak give the house a touch of class. Oval glass in the front door and windows on either side bring an abundance of natural light into the soaring foyer. Stairs up to the main floor lead to a great room that really lives up to its name. The entire family area stretches from the front to the rear of the house, providing generous open space for today’s informal lifestyles. Adecorative half-wall separates the staircase from the great room, which features a large gas fireplace with optional built-in entertainment units on either side. In the dining area, an optional buffet will provide extra space and a serving area for more formal meals. A sliding glass door opens to a sun deck with steps down to the back garden. The kitchen will please the cooks in the family, offering plenty of countertop work-space, as well as a walk-in pantry. Awindow with a view to the garden will make time spent at the kitchen sink seem less taxing. Acentral island adds to more storage and work-space options and will seat four for quick snacks or casual meals. The sleeping area is designed to encompass either three or four bedrooms, depending on the plan chosen, the four or the three-bedroom. The three-bedroom layout includes a large master suite at the rear with a boxed-out window, a walk-in closet and an expansive ensuite bathroom with a soaker tub, shower and double vanity. Bedrooms two and three at the front of the house share the main, three-piece bathroom. In the alternative four-bedroom plan, space for the fourth bedroom is obtained by slightly reducing the size of the master suite, which still retains a generous amount of space, with only a three-piece ensuite bathroom and a slightly smaller walk-in closet. In this plan, bedrooms three and four occupy the front of the house and bedroom No. 2 is tucked between the master suite and the third bedroom. They share the three-piece central bathroom. In both layouts, the bedroom adjacent to the stairway enjoys a view through the attractive carousel-shaped windows, as well as to the foyer below. On the basement level, double doors mark the entrance to the den, which could serve as a home office. A good-sized laundry room includes a handy countertop for folding clothes. The remainder of the basement is unfinished, offering roughed-in plumbing for a three-piece bathroom and a layout for two extra bedrooms, still leaving plenty of space for a recreation area. The house is 42 feet wide and 40 feet deep with 1,390 square feet of living space and an unfinished basement. To order Plan No. 2-3-701 for the three bedroom layout or Plan No. 2-4-702 for the four-bedroom layout. Plans for design 2-3-701 are available for $532 (set of 5), $592 (set of 8) and $640 for a super set of 10. B.C. residents add 7% Prov. Sales Tax.
