Auburn Booster Club backs the 'Biter' The Auburn Booster Club will donate half the proceeds from its 5th annual Christmas Fair to Londesboro’s “Back the Biter" fund, according to Jackie Collins, a spokesman for the group. She estimated that the donation would amount to more than $200, although not all the figures were in on Monday. The other half of the profitfromthefair will go to the Huron County Family and Child- a\ uburn Mrs. Mildred Lawlor 526*7589 ren’s Services Christmas Bureau, a charity supported by the Boosters in the past. The Christmas Craft Fair, held last Saturday, showcased more than 30 local crafters, and attracted agood crowd of gift shoppers, Mrs. Collins said. In addition, there was a bake sale and refreshments were served, with all proceeds going to the chosen charities. In the past, the Booster Club has donated extensively to community projects in the village of Auburn, but thisyear unanimously decided to support the Londesboro fund for Ron Nesbitt. “The ‘Back the Biter’ Fund is a one-time thing, and we thought it was a real good cause,” said Mrs. Collins. The Club has been in existence for five years. It began when a number of local women, who “used to get together for coffee,” decided there was something better they could do than “sit around and gossip," said Mrs. Collins. Membership varies from 10 - 15 women, and the club operates without an executive, on a very “informal and friendly" basis. Anyone is welcome to join, and may contact Mrs. Collins at 526-7784. 1986 Marquis, 4 dr., V6, air Members remember Ross Robinson The last Horticulture Society meeting for the year was held Monday, November 10at8 p.m. at the Community Hall.
