Group’s labour supports arena
Since its inception in February of
1979, the Brussels, Morris and
Grey Catering Committee has do
nated hours of volunteer labour and
thousands of pies to an average of
20 banquets per year for a total of
223 dinners.
All of the money acquired from
these dinners goes towards the
upkeep of the BMG Community
Centre - a large sum from one
year went to the black topping of
the parking lot, and the group pays
the insurance costs each year.
The balance of the money for
1989 was $10,667.01 which is down
somewhat from 1988’s year-end
total of $11,290.34. Receipts from
last year, raised from 15 catered
banquets, came to $19,166.58 for a
total of $30,456.92.
Expenses, including a donation,
of $12,000 to Recreation in 1989
amounted to $19,789.89.
Volunteer Audrey Cardiff noted
that while last year’s total was
down from the previous year 1990
promises to be higher as there are
more bookings. Six dinners have
been served since January 1, with
five dinners booked for April. One
of the biggest events over the last
six years has been the Gay Lea
banquet in early December when
the catering group prepares for 450
people.
A fundraising dance was held on
March 24 and was a great success
thanks to all the people who bought
tickets and supported the group.
Members were especially apprecia
tive to those who donated lunch
and helped serve during the even
ing in addition to the efforts of the
decorating, ticket and advertising
committees. A profit after expens
es of $1,813.20 was made for the
arena.
According to BMG Catering
convenor Bessie Johnston there are
about 90 volunteers in the group
now but they are always looking for
new members and suggests that
newcomers to the community
would find it a great way to meet
people in the area and help out.

Melville
W.M.S. meets
The March meeting of Melville
Presbyterian Guild was held in the
church on March 20.
Helen Elliott opened the meeting
with a poem for spring, “Lion or
Lamb”. This was followed by the
hymn, “The Glory of the Spring
how sweet”. The Bible reading
was taken from Matthews 21; 1-11
and read in unison, followed by
prayer.
Isabel Adams presented a paper
on ‘The Life of St. Patrick’. Guest
for the evening was Winona Martin
who showed us slides of her most
recent trip to Russia. She opened
with a brief history of the area,
then took her audience step by step
on a fascinating journey through
Poland, north-western Russia to
Leningrad and home through Fin
land, Sweden and Denmark.
The meeting closed with the
hymn ‘Be Still My Soul’, sung to
the great tune Finlandia. After a
short business period, members
and guests enjoyed a social time
together. It was decided to serve
the Maytime Supper in the church
on Wednesday, May 30.
