The crew included Gloria Wilbee, Melva Fraser, Heidi McClure and Suzanne Studhalter along with Toonies for Friendship leaders Dianne McCallum and Judy Lee doing the planning. The evening began with a delicious turkey dinner served by Grace Campbell Catering. There were many comments and accolades to be passed on to Nita and Laverne McClure for the wonderful and gorgeous job of decorating the area with a rustic backdrop, greenery, snowmen, table pieces. Gloria Wilbee introduced the minister, Rev. Sandra Yule, and presented her with a poinsettia and the engraved sign with her name to be added to the sign outside the church. (Murray Dennis placed the sign on Monday morning). Gloria then led the singing of grace and all enjoyed the meal. Following this the group sang a few Christmas carols led by Margery Huether and Phyllis Mitchell. The evening featured a fashion show with the fashions of Marita’s Fashion Boutique of Clinton. Owner Marita Kochis was introduced and described that we would be seeing fashions suitable for casual, business and evening wear. The models were Bonnie Glanville, Gloria Wilbee, Marie McGavin, Heidi McClure, Annalies Ringgenberg, Suzanne Studhalter, Melva Fraser, Cindy Poland and Patty Banks. There were many beautiful outfits shown and most of them are by Canadian designers. Door prizes provided by Marita were won by Sandra Yule and Linda Elliott. A gift of flowers were presented to Marita on behalf of the UCW. There was also a special visit by two of the Spice girls singing group, dropping by with some special fashions of their own. To describe them would be inadequate I’m sure, but I will say that both of the girls needed to shave before their next performance. It was a great way to end the evening with light heartedness and laughter. Everyone appreciated the efforts of the girls (Keith Wilbee and Neil McGavin). The evening also saw many items to be donated to the Women’s Shelter.
