Marie McTaggart presented a 50
year pin to Peggy Cudmore who
has been a continuous member.
Kathy Bridge introduced the
guest speaker District President
Jean Wilson, who spoke on
motivation and success. She related
a story to the members that a
person must be motivated before
they can achieve. Some people
become sick if they don't want to
do something. Their attitude is if I
don't try, I can't fail. People must
see others' needs and through time
some of these needs may have to be
changed.
She commented that success is
failure turned inside out. If you fall
flat on your face at least you fall
forward. Mrs. Wilson ended
saying, "It's all up to you as to
whether you achieve or not."
Melody White thanked the
speaker for her valuable thoughts.
Door prizes went to Alice
Brothers, Jane DeVries, Marie
McTaggart, Cathy Hallman and
Adah Smith.

Hanies Ho Our Community
We would like to express our thanks to our friends,
family and community for all the cards, flowers, gifts,
special prayers and support we received during our
stay at Hamilton McMaster University Hospital.
Special thanks to a good friend Rev. Carolyn McAvoy
for many trips she made to Hamilton, as well as many
of our family and friends who drove the distance, you
all were a great support to carry us through those
difficult times. Thanks to the following organizations
for their donations to help pay for some of our
expenses: The Brussels Optimists and their wives,
Brussels Lions, Brussels Crusaders, Brussels Hotel,
Brussels Tigers and the Brussels Oddfellows &
Rebekahs, It was greatly appreciated. Also thanks to
those who set up and contributed to the account at the
Brussels CIBC.
Complications arose on what was to be a 2 week stay
turning into a 2 1/2 month bad dream. Mercedes had 3
major back surgeries and 1 minor surgery to have a
central I.V. line insertion. Words can't express how
grateful I was to have my mom stay with Mercedes and
me most of the days and nights, I couldn't have got
through it without you. We are now settling in back
home and Mercedes is doing fine. It sure is great to
get out of the city and back home to such a warm
hearted and thoughtful community.
THANKS BRUSSELS
