Times-Advocate, 1978-12-14, Page 20Page 20 Times-Advocate, December 14, 1978 Lions to raffle local homesite Grand Bend Lions will give away a recreational homesite near Lake Huron next spring — and, as a bonus, put the proceeds toward a community park that the winner and his fami­ ly can enjoy. In its most ambitious pro­ ject to date, the club is raffl­ ing off a 15,400 sq. ft. homesite in Southcott Pines with a current value of $16.- 000. Only 200 tickets will be sold at $100 each, making it the best odds of most lotteries available today. Proceeds will go toward preliminary development of the 4.5-acre park the club has purchased for the resort community. The property is located behind the Legion Hall, near the main in­ tersection of No. 21 and 81 highways. Preliminary steps in developing the park will be ground preparation and fen­ cing. which the Lions hope to complete next year. Then comes the facility planning process which will involve various sectors of the com­ munity. In searching for a unique GRAND BEND AND DISTRICT NEWS Rec group finish survey, to prepare master plan Members of the Grand Bend recreation committee have completed a survey of the recreational needs of the area. Robert Collins of the On­ tario Ministry of Culture and Recreation was in atten­ dance at a recent meeting and complimented the com­ mittee on completing the survey so quickly and ef­ ficiently’. Collins suggested all the information gathered from each survey should be put together to make one master sheet. After this master sheet is completed the information should be communicated to the public by some means. The provincial rep said the rec committee should try to "NOTICE" VILLAGE OF GRAND BEND GARBAGE COLLECTION WILL BE: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 23,1978 INSTEAD OF MONDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1978 AND SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1978 INSTEAD OF MONDAY,.

Sharen added. “There should be long term ac­ tivities set up for year round residents and short term ac­ tivities set up primarily for part time residents and tourists " Committee members Keith Crawford, Pauline Lingard and Howard Hartle and secretary Brenda Jen- nison are to set up the master plan for the next regular meeting. Mrs. Lingard reported on attending a recent con­ ference of the Ontario Municipal Recreation Association. She said the specific goal of the OMRA is to have a spring conference for new recreation members to inform what their role is. Miss Mary Ann Luckett, recreation director for Southcott Pines explained what her position entailed and asked if there was any way she could help the Grand Bend recreation com­ mittee. She said her job was to provide recreational programs for all children of the area. She would like to work together with the village committee so they could complement each others programs. A request for financial assistance from the Parkhill Silver Blades skating club for financial assistance was denied. One child from Grand Bend is participating in the Parkhill club. The committee felt as they were donating to the Zurich-Grand Bend club they could not afford a se- i cond donation. prize for its major kick-off raffle, the Lions took the ad­ vice of successful investor Dr Morton Shulman, who was quoted recently as say- ing that serviced recreational land was one of the best bets for future ap­ preciation. The selected homesite in Southcott Pines is within easy walking distance of Lake Huron. Well-treed with pines and oaks, the site is serviced with TV cable, pipeline water, underground hydro and telephone, and paved roads. The owner also is entitled to clubhouse, beach and X-country ski privileges in the subdivision. Lions President Frank Allister says he’s confident the club will receive full community support for the- project. “While the homesite itself is a very at­ tractive prize for the winner, the real prize is our community park which will make everyone a winner. We hope everyone will get behind this worthwhile development.” Project Chairman Peter Warner says he has a number of tickets sold already. ‘‘Several people have told me they like the 1:200 odds to win, because they’re discouraged by the 1:50,000 chances of the big draws.” "The Lions recognize that not everyone can afford to shell out $100, but most peo­ ple will want to contribute in some way,” said Warner. ‘‘One of the solutions is that five people with $20 each can get together to buy one ticket. Or a person can provide a number of post­ dated cheques to spread the cost over several months.” The draw will be made June 1 at the club’s annual ladies night. CHAMBER EXECUTIVE ELECTED — The Grand Bend and Area Chamber of Commerce elected their executive at their annual meeting held Tuesday. Seated are first vice president Gene Grenier, president Nick Carter and second vice president Len Hume. In the back row are treasurer Lome Campbell and secretary-manager Bob Simpson.

Moore entertained the Grand Bend Senior citizens at their December meeting, Wed­ nesday afternoon, by presenting a religious skit entitled “What is Christ­ mas?”, touching on various subjects. Under light he spoke on the history of lighted candles in the windows at Christmas, all over the world. Christmas cards, carol singing and that Christmas is giving and receiving gifts. Summing it all up Christmas is a thousand things and these things in our minds are a cherished part of our lives. Also that we must not lose Christ in the manger, but remember that he lived like you and I. After singing several well loved Christmas carols, this part of the meeting closed with prayer. Following this, the business part of the meeting was chaired by president Mrs. Mary Ravelie. Twenty seven members were present and $27 was to be sent to “Care”, instead of a gift exchange. Mabel Gill read an article entitled “The Cradle” written by Carol B. Hayman. Matt Relouw played several mouth organ selections and several joined in singing with the tunes. Mrs. Wm.
