Volunteer groups return to work as September nears
Oh my, August is coming to an
end. Laments are heard in many
places and to balance that fact, there
are smiles of glee noting that the
days of summer are soon done.
September often feels like a new
year, a new beginning, as the
volunteer business of life resumes.
The hiatus for suspended business is
done and the meetings of the
organizations we come to rely on are
being scheduled now. It’s the hint,
slack time is past.
The Brussels Fair folks are already
in business mode with deadlines
coming up fast and lots to be done
before Sept. 17. Check your fair
entry book and get planning now. A
pork chop dinner is part of the
Tuesday evening fun this year. See
one of the fair board folks to get your
ticket soon.
Life can be tough sometimes, but
you know the alternative. So
celebrations are very important.
When you think about the days of
our lives, it’s often family and
friends that take up the thinking
spots. Time spent in casual or
planned events are often our
memories of good times.
Nora Stephenson knows how to
celebrate life and so her friends have
helped make her 90th birthday
memorable. One dinner has already
happened with more good stuff in
the offing, and that’s even before the
big day, which is Saturday. So a
greeting, a big smile and a hug are in
order any time you see Nora this
week.
When planning surprise parties,
it’s always good to plan ahead, even
before the actual date of the event for
increased success. We can
take lessons from the Baker children.
We know Allan was chuckling
from heaven on Saturday evening as
Shirley was momentarily stunned to
see a yard full of vehicles and then
familiar faces as a thought stopper.
Then a t-shirt and tiara reminded her
of an approaching birthday. Oh yes,
she was surprised!
Time to think about the next
season, what you can do to make you
or the community better. We have
lots of choices or the potential to
have in our community what you
need to make life good. Reaching
out is often the first step to making a
positive move, don’t think, just do it.
Bye now, Betty G.W.

At the Branch
New ‘Ace’ ticket outlets found
Helping out
After the Royal Canadian Legion Brussel Branch’s wildly successful second installment of the
‘Catch the Ace’ fundraiser, members of the organizing committee decided to give back to the
community, donating $500 to numerous organizations including the Brussels Leo Club, a youth
organization affiliated with the Brussels Lions Club community group. Above, committee
member and Brussels Legion comrade Lisa Glanville, right, presents the donation to Leo

There have been a few things
going on at the Brussels Legion
Branch this week. The week began
with a meeting of the Catch the Ace
committee. They went over the
changes to be implemented with the
new licence. A correction on the date
of the start of the draw is that it will
be held Sept. 27.
The store owners who handled the
sales for the last draw were given
gifts of appreciation by the
committee. Some of the retailers are
not going to participate in this next
round of ticket sales, but new ones
have been found. Tickets will be
available from Jam Jar and Eatery,
Bulk and Bargain, Brussels Variety
and McDonald Home Hardware
with a Walton location still to be
confirmed. The Brussels Legion will
always have tickets for sale daily
from 4 - 6 p.m. and Saturday 3 - 6
p.m. or when open at other times.
We look forward to the continued
support in the next draw.
The Branch will be closed for the
long weekend.
The Branch welcomed the Huron
Perth Abate Chapter 14 to the
Branch on Saturday afternoon.
There were approximately 32 bikes
and just over 40 folks. They
were participating in “Ride for the
Cure”, a fundraiser for the
Huron Respite Network. The
monies raised goes to supporting
children and teens with mental
health difficulties, autism and
developmental disabilities allowing
them to go to summer camps. The
Branch has been accepting monies
in a donation jar all summer and
added a Branch donation of $50.
Comrade Jo-Ann McDonald made
the donation to the president of the
club, Mark Spanky. A few familiar
faces in the group included Joe
McClelland, Joe Dewartz of Walton
and Dave Hastings Jr.
All are invited to come to the
Clinton Raceway for the Driver’s
Charity Challenge this weekend
where four local Legions benefit
from the generosity of the drivers.
There is also a silent auction
table, bake table, food booth and
a barbecued chicken dinner
available.
Giving back
While originally designed as a fundraiser for the Brussels
Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, the second iteration
‘Catch the Ace’ fundraiser was so successful that the
organizers are giving back to other community groups.
