Of the 17 people at a recent organizational meeting, 10 of them had worked on the 1972 Centennial Committee that produced a week­ long birthday bash which attracted ' more than 10,000 people, thou­ sands of dollars into the local economy, and an ocean of goodwill for a friendly little town. Today, with a dicey rural economy affecting business every­ where, none of us can afford not to make sure that Brussels’ 115th party is every bit as good as its Centennial. But it is definitely not reasonable to expect the same people to do it all again, even though one of them, Wayne Lowe, was recently named the Brussels- area Citizen of the Year for his tireless efforts on behalf of the whole community. So c’mon, people - let’s ALL get involved in this thing, and show the world out there why Brussels was recently called “very progressive for its size’ ’ by a member of the Conestoga College executive.

You don’t have to live IN Brussels to make this weekend a success - everyone in the surround­ ing communities will benefit as well. buying plantings and he will be back in Brussels soon. Many questions were answered both as he worked and at the library. Due to the lateness of the hour, the meeting then returned to the library where Angie Yoon delight­ ed the company with two piano solos performed in her usual accomplished fashion. Correspondence was read from Hollands Glory Incl. and booklets and order forms distributed. The * Society willbe sending away for bulbs about the first of July and anyone may order. If any young people would like to show flowers in the August Flower Show phone Mrs. Jane White or Mrs. Shirley Wheeler for free seeds ana information. A lengthy discussion was held on maintaining the town flower beds and several people offered to take over the planting and weeding at specified locations as a change from hiring someone to do them all.
