Village of
Brussels
Council
A newly formed service organi
zation in Brussels, now well into its
final planning stages, hopes to be
prepared by June 1, to welcome
new residents to “Ontario’s Pret
tiest Village”.
Pauleen Kerkhof, who is herself
a newcomer to Brussels, had been
instrumental in beginning a similar
program in the Drayton-Moorefield
area where she was living at the
time. Her enthusiasm for bringing
the idea to Brussels piqued the
interest of Brussels Councillor
Mary Stretton, who approached
other Council members with the
plan. After receiving approval from
them, Mrs. Stretton and Mrs,
Kerkhof recruited two other inter
ested village residents and the
‘Brussels Basket’ was bom.
The group promises to offer a
friendly face to newcomers in
Brussels and has prepared an
information booklet outlining
schools, churches, doctors, den
tists, and other community inter
ests. Also included in the basket
are gifts donated by local business
es. Mr. Kerkhof says the response
thus far has been overwhelming.
Several people have already donat
ed and many more have promised.
The Clerk’s office has been a great
source of material and information,
and Mrs. Kerkhof is thrilled with
the tremendous support she has
received from so many local busi
nesses.
Brussels Basket secretary,
Brenda Wheeler, is distributing
letters and information to local
groups explaining the organization.
Their major problem at this time
according to Mrs. Wheeler is a lack
of funds. As it is a volunteer group
there are no operating monies
available. They would appreciate
any contributions or financial sup
port anyone can offer. Mrs. Kerk
hof suggests that if they overlooked
anyone who may be interested in
supporting what they feel is indeed
a good community service please
notify them. She also apologizes to
any new families who will be
missed by the June 1 starting date.
For further information on the
Brussels Basket contact Brenda
Wheeler, 887-6528 or Pauleen
Kerkhof, 887-9422.
