Community Centre. As stated in a
previous edition of the Post, those
to be commemorated will have
their names engraved on the
plaque. The names of those who
donated to the commemoration
will be recorded,in a book beside
the plaque.
The committee reports that
response has been excellent and
that more than 50 names have
been assured to date. It , would
appear that the initial list on the
plaque will embrace at least 70
names.. This insures that it will be
an impressive memorial. Since
this is to be a continuing, program
the passing of years and the
addition of names will make the
Memorial even more impressive.
As they went through life these
people were considerate of their
friends and their neighbours.
They mouldedourcomniunity into
what it is today. They have left a
great -heritage. That they should
receive recognition in a place
where the community will gather
for years to come seems very
appropriate.
There are still many more who
'should be recognized. Therefore
the committee asks for the help
and, cooperation of everyone in
order to make this a truly great
memorial.
Anyone who has donated
$500.00 or more, to the Brussels,
Morris and Grey Community
Centre may have a name
engraved upon the plaque.
Donations that have already been
made may, be added to, or
grouped together . in order to
qualify.
A recent additon to the plaque
list, and one of interest, is the
name of Mr. and Mrs. Phillip
Ament. .They are being
commemorated by three
daughters; Mrs. J.R. (Carye)
Lynn, Windsor, Mrs. George
(Kate) Dawson, Woodstock, and
Mrs. Stan (Laura)
Hobson, Palmerston.
