Sports moms meet
A meeting for the Mother's Auxiliary to
Minor Sports met on October 26 in the
basement of the Town Hall and, once
again, a very poor attendance was record-
ed for the group.
The minutes of the last meeting were
read by Lorna Guay and approved before
the organization moved on to the election
of officers. The 1987-88 slate saw Nancy
Murray elected president with Vana Gam-
mie accepting the position of vice presi-
dent. Lorna Guay will act as secretary for
the group while . Deanna Reavie handles
the duties of treasurer and Sue Stevenson
acts as press reporter.
The group is currently getting ready for
a new season of hockey and skating at the
arena. Bill Hunter, Lucknow's Recreation
Director, and Stuart Reavie attended the
meeting with a sketch of "he -prennsed
arena complex. The new kit,chen w . be
much larger and the auxiliary have been
asked to work on the layout as soon as
possible. It was also decided that pricing of
equipment should start immediately.
Team leaders for the upcoming season
will be Mary Nicholson, Dale Skiller, Sue
Stevenson, Karla Hogan, Arlene Turner,
Marianne Porter, Vana Gammie and
Helen Rintoul.
The Mother's Auxiliary to Minor Sports
meets only twice each year and it would be
greatly appreciated if more hockey and
skating mothers would come out and assist
in the discussions and decisions.
Parents will be called to volunteer a
small portion of their time in the food
booth this winter and we hope to see more
co-operation from parents.
Remember, itis your donated time that
helps local children and those local
children are„yours.
Wholehearted support
The November meeting of Voice for Life
was opened with prayer and the reading of
the "Ballad of the Unborn”.
Bonnie Falconer reported a very suc-
cessful information booth at the recent
Teeswater Fair. Of special interest this
year was a video cassette recording of pro-
life messages. Three messages .were from
southwestern Ontario women who had had
abortions, sharing the mental, physical,
and psychological pain they suffered as a
result. The fourth message related stages
of fetal development.
Regional representative John Van Den
Assem reported a regional conference to
be held in Port Elgin . on Saturday,
November 14. Our area is Region II of
Southwestern Ontario.
This fall there has been a raffle of two
beautiful crib -size quilts, the draw to be
made on December 7.
Some members plan to attend the Strat-
ford Annual Meeting on November 12.
Mrs. Gwen Landolt, a Richmond Hill
lawyer and foundress of the Canadian Pro -
Life movement will be guest speaker.
There will be an optional showing of the
film, "Eclipse of Reason", the sequel to
"The Silent Scream", both created by Dr.
Nathanson, ex -abortionist. The film
depicts a late abo tion with new
technology including cameras inside and
outside the uterus.
Education Chairperson Sally Campeau
reported that, as a follow-up to letters sent
to all clergy in our coverage area, regular
newsletters, both local and national, will
be sent to the same clergy.
In late March a national pro-life T.V.
program "Feel the Heartbeat" will be
viewed across Canada. CKNX Channel 8
will carry this program. The content of the
program will be stories of real people in
Canada who have faced problem pregnan-
cies and tell how they chose to give life.
The stories will be related in . short
segments separated by advertising spots
by known personalities. Two . hundred
counsellors will also be on hand for
counselling.
Voice for Life wholeheartedly supports
this project. Monetary donations have
already been made. The clergy in the area
will be contacted re promotional church
bulletin inserts to make their congrega-
tions aware of the program just prior to its
showing.
