Purposeopensmeeting
October is in her glory – sun, rain,
wind, frost and even a few wee
white things.
On the days that the sun shines
and the temperature warms, it feels
like a gift received – a whole
beautiful day to enjoy. The diversity
of the changing seasons has got to
be one of the best things about
Huron County.
The college and university crew
are getting into their new routines –
new places, new lessons, new
people, new spaces all in the name
of growing up and becoming the
person you want to become.
The high school crew from F.E.
Madill will be celebrating on Friday
night, each one returning to see
friends and be recognized for the
role they have played in the school
life in the past years. Hard work and
team spirit, loyalty and enthusiasm,
friendship and caring, as well as the
effort it takes to pass out of high
school, will all be celebrated with
former classmates. Well done all.
With the nice weather on the
weekend the leaves were being
moved about with glee in our
neighbourhood. By the bag, row or
truckload, the leaves were off to
places unknown.
The fall season is now becoming
one that is getting decorated. It’s a
nice letdown from all the colours of
summer to see the bales and vines,
lights and flowers and pumpkins
making a little spot of beauty on
many lawns and porches.
Don’t forget to go to the United
Church this week – Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday evening 7 - 10
p.m. and again on Saturday
afternoon.
The thrill of Halloween is there,
and it’s ready to celebrate the
strangeness of Halloween. Lots of
props and effort are being made to
give you a wee jolt.
So don’t be afraid, come along. If
all goes well candy apples and
carmel corn will be available for
added tooth decay.
Enjoy the week.
Bye now, Betty G.W.

A NOTE FROM BETTY
By Jasmin Roth
On Saturday, Oct. 4, the Grey
Twp. 4-H club started up again with
a new Club called, Home for the
Holidays. The leader, Tracey Swart
welcomed two new people to the
club.
This meeting was about how to set
up this club and what would be done
at each meeting.
After a snack of juice and cookies
the club name Grey Twp. 4-H
Christmas Crew, was chosen.
It was a sunny day when the 4-H
Christmas Crew got together and
got busy on Saturday, Oct. 18.
They built Christmas trees out of
grapevine and tomato cages. They
worked in groups because it takes a
lot of time, hard work, hands and
especially grapevine.
These projects are going to be
donated to Cranbrook Hall.
