Lucan Travel
Seniors see Simcoe lights,
ready for Christmas party
Thursday afternoon a
busload of the members of
the Sunshine and Busy Bud
dies’ groups, with a few
friends, embarked at 3 p.m.
with Peter McNaughton of
the Ilderton-McNaughton
Tours for a trip to see the
Christmas lights at Simcoe.
Enroute they visited the
Coyle Nut Factory at
Tillsonburg, which was a
real experience and well
worth the trip in itself. Ours
was the eighth bus that
afternoon and it looked like
a downtown London store
two days before Christmas!
However, everyone finally
got what they desired and
we were on our way again to
Delhi where a delicious, but
really, too generous, dinner
was enjoyed.
When we arrived in Sim
coe everyone was entranced
with the fairyland of colours
both in the park and along
the river, where the reflec
tions were an added enjoy
ment. Mr. McNaughton
drove us through one way
and then back through the
other so that people on both
sides of the bus could get a
good view.
An added bonus was that
while the group had been
eating their dinner Peter
had taken the bus “for a
bath”, so that all the win
dows were sparkling clean.
This was not the case in
several of the buses which
were also touring Simcoe,
some from as far afield as
New York State outside of
Buffalo.
Thanks to Peter was voic
ed by Edythe Murdy on
behalf of the members and
friends. A special thanks to
Edythe for arranging such a
delightful afternoon and
evening.
This afternoon, Thursday
commencing at 1 p.m. with
dinner at the Shillelagh,
members will enjoy their
Christmas party. An ex
change of gifts will take
place also at the Shillelagh
after which members will
return to the club rooms for
a program and social game
of cards.
Icy road conditions
cause area crashes
The Birr 1 “Needle Nan
nies” have successfully
completed yet another
creative 4-H session, featur
ing a specialized aspect of
homemaking. This club was
aimed at teaching the girls
needlepoint skills. Everyone
completed either a set of
coasters or a pillow, and
some chose to do a free
choice article as well.
The girls who completed
this club are: Cathy
McGregor, president;
Krista White, vice-
president; Tracy Vanderloo,
treasurer; Lynda
Vanderloo, press reporter,
Gayle Lewis, Lorraine
Lewis, Penny Hodgins, Sue
Telford, Connie Vanderloo
and Lisa Vanderloo.
All the members of Birr 1
offer their congratulations
to Krista White, who has
earned her Provincial
Honours, having completed
* 12 4-HHomemaking Clubs.
We also wish to thank our
leaders, Marion White and
Rhea Vanderloo for their
never-ending help and en
couragement.
Each club, the girls of
Birr 1, look forward to pool
ing their talents and, never
to be outdone, they always
come out with a unique
name, an appropriate cover
and very entertaining
presentation on Achieve
ment Day.
This time is no exception.
They call themselves the
Birr 1 “Needle Nannies”,
and for their covers, along
with their name in Old
English lettering, each
member has nepdlepointed a
“nanny” who sits on the
front of the book.
For.Achievement day, it’s
a skit entitled ‘’Let’s
Bargello”, which promises
to uphold the record of first-
rate performances by the
Club in previous projects.
Yes sir, the Birr 1 “Needle
Nannies” have certainly
done it again.
You are invited to attend
Achieveme.1 P?y at
Medway High School this
Saturday, December 16, at
12:30 to support the girls and
their leaders, from this
area.
