The main event happened on Wednesday when the Family Fun night was held. It began with hot dogs and refresh- ments. Jim Crocker, Helen's husband said that he cooked up 30 pounds of wieners. People then gathered in the library where Marion Doucette, using her puppets, told the children some stories and poems. Then Director of Education Paul Carroll talked about 'Project Cuba' which money that was made that night would go towards. Mr. Carroll is trying to raise money to buy a bus that will be sent to Cuba filled with donated school supplies. It will go to Havana and its main purpose is to drive children to and from the hospitals. Following Mr. Carroll's speech pictures of former teachers, the late Barb Elston and the late Shirley Lyon were presented to the families. The families in turn dedicated the pictures back to the school to be hung in the main entrance. Then the fun began.

Kids lined up for an hour to get a chance to hear the accented voice (which sounded something like Italian and Texan combined) have their elbows and their fingernails read as well as the Slap Jack cards that they drew. The woman was very pleased to find so many wonderful children in the area. She read in each child something very positive about themselves and that they all had such wonderful, caring hearts. Yes she knew everything about them. Remember, only 'Madam Rosa' and the 'Shadow' knows! Friday was a fun day for the kindergarten children as they had their Teddy Bear picnic. Each child and their guest brought their favourite teddy and had lunch under the tree on the playground. Ms Jewitt had each child introduce their teddies. Her teddy's name was Rupert and she loved him because he gave wonderful hugs. Louise Sygrove, Early Years Co- ordinator and resource teacher in the area brought her daughter's 20- year-old 'Pooh Bear'. Its face had been loved and kissed right off. The children enjoyed bear games, singing bear songs and a movie.

Gloria Wilbee greeted at Duff's United outdoor service June 18. One couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. Gloria and Keith brought their electric piano and although the wind blew the pages around Glenda Carter managed very well playing the hymns. Rev. Randy Banks reminded everyone about the Country Supper next Sunday. He then called the children forward and told them that he could not find the world 'smile' anywhere in the Bible. He told them how important smiling was and that it doesn't cost anything. After the children's story the kids stood and Sadie McDonald, a lady who lived to be 100 years old, died this past week and our condolences go to her family. We also in his community and surrounding area express our sang The Butterfly Song. Gloria Wilbee accompanied them on her guitar. Rev. Banks's sermon was called, 'Groaning in Travail.' After the service, while the hot dogs and hamburgers were being cooked, the children went to the backyard to play games. They started with some sack races and then did some three-legged races. This was a first for many of the kids and it got really good when they teamed up with adults. Then came the water balloon toss, a must for any hot day. Doug Fraser and Rick Holmes were the winners of this game. Graeme and Michael Craig were a close second sympathies to Marie McGavin and family. Her father Carl Johnston of Bluevale died June 15. Congratulations to Jo-Ann and Rick McDonald who celebrated their 18th year of marriage on June 18. but Michael discovered that his dad isn't very good at catching water balloons. In fact each partner discovered this about the other as there were broken balloons all over the place. Then there seemed to be water coming from everywhere as the kids discovered the water in the little swimming pool. Thank heavens the food was ready or therr Would have been a lot of drenched kids and adults. The picnic ended with a tug-of- war. Patty Banks's side won without much of a struggle and they hope that the other team will give more of a challenge next year. Some say they won because they had a little more weight, Patty says, but she's convinced that it was sheer skill.
