Obituaries
The Londesborough Lions Club
had a great turnout for their annual
fish fry last Saturday. Now they will
be turning their attention to their
waterless duck race later in the
month. Have you got yours yet?
The 4-H truck seemed to be
relatively packed with e-waste
articles Saturday as well. It’s great
they help us house clean – a real
win-win situation.
This coming Friday evening, May
10, the Londesborough United
Church will host its second “Village
Café” at the community hall. This
talent and variety show has quite a
lineup of acts from the area. The fun
begins at 7 p.m. and is by donation at
the door. Ice cream sundaes to
follow the talent presentation.
More than 60 persons enjoyed a
quiet and poignant lantern walk in
memory of Rev. Terry Fletcher last
weekend. That little patch of forest
on the school property which has
been used by school classes was a
very pleasant surprise. It was a
perfect setting for the walk. Mary
Fletcher and a daughter were in
attendance and pleased with the
thoughtfulness of Terry’s former
congregations.
The Hullett School Council
wishes to thank everyone for the
support shown for their recent
carnival and auction. The event
raised approximately $16,000. The
monies will be used to purchase new
stage curtains and to bring guest
speakers into the classrooms.
Grades 4-8 students at Hullett
School will present their spring
concert on May 8 at seven in the
evening. The concert is called “A
Little Bit of Rock ’n Roll”.
Science projects from Grades 6/7
and 8 will be on display to the public
the morning of Friday, May 10 in the
auditorium.
Susan Barnett led the morning
worship at Londesborough United
Church on May 5. Her message was
titled “Real Solutions to Real
Problems” and dealt with the
transformations that happen in life
as a result of the resurrection of
Jesus.
Her supporting scriptures were
Acts 9: 1-20 and John 21: 1-19. Just
as Jesus chose to appear to the
disciples in the days following His
resurrection today’s believers can
find Him in their lives when they are
overwhelmed by life if they look for
Him, and if they trust and believe in
the reality of Easter.
The senior choir offered the
anthem, “Can’t You Hear?”
Flowers on the memorial table
were placed in memory of Kim
Hunking by her family.
The search committee for the
Londesborough/Auburn charge have
called a congregational meeting for
7 p.m. on Monday, May 13 at
Londesborough United.
They encourage members to
attend because the meeting
deals with the future of the
congregations.
The UCW will meet on Mon.,
May 20. Guest that evening is
Michelle Greydanus of Greyhaven
Gardens. Michelle will present a talk
on succulents and help us plant a
“take home”.

Recognition

international stage when she won the Lions Clubs International Peace Essay contest.
Alongside her accolades, Hullett Central Public School, where Ansley studies, also received a
plaque commemorating Ansley’s win and what it means for the school community. From left:

We have turned another page on
our calendar and are well into the
month of May. May was named for
the Greek Goddess Maia who was
the goddess of fertility – appropriate
for a month which sees so much new
growth. Emerald is the birthstone for
the month.
Lily of the Valley, which usually
blooms in May, is one of the flowers
for the month. Lily of the Valley
stands for sweetness or a return to
happiness. Hawthorn, which
signifies success, love and hope, is
the other flower of the month.
Don’t forget to celebrate Mother’s
Day this Sunday which makes this
month special.
I offer this short poem by
William Hamilton Hayne: “Oh
fragrant is the breath of May In
tranquil garden closes, And soft yet
regal in her sway, Among the
springtime roses.”
May a time for growth, rebirth
