This year, the Brussels Lions
Club is celebrating its 50th anniver-
sary with one of the largest, most
entertaining elimination draws and
fun-filled evenings in its history.
On June 22, the club will host an
evening of magical entertainment
for the entire family as well as
offering $7,500 in prize money.
The $40 ticket includes a hot buf-
fet for two with no charge for chil-
dren under 12 and performances by
Canadian Magic Man Stephen
Lynn and well-known comic men-
talist Mike Mandel.
"It will be an evening of profes-
sional entertainment," says Lion
Greg Ducharme. "The show is awe-
some. The performers go the whole
nine yards."

Needing a little incentive to get
you moving? The Ark is hosting a
walk-a-thon on June 8 and is look-
ing for participants as well as spon-
sors for this community fundraiser.
Youth Worker with the drop-in
centre Wendy Martin says the
monies raised from the walk will be
used to fund the summer programs
at the facility. These include the
Junior Summer Recreation Pro-
gram (JRSP) for children in Grades
1-5, the return of the SWAT team
for youths from Grades 5-8 with a
maximum of 20 and a senior drop-
in on Thursday nights for the high
school group.
This year's walk will be to Wing-
ham. "The other years the walk has
been to Seaforth and Listowel, so I
guess it can be done, " says Martin.
It will depart from The Ark, located
across from the post office in Brus-
sels, at 9 a.m. Martin says there
will be pit stops along the way
before reaching the final destina-
tion of Bell's Pizza.

Lynn will take the stage at
approximately 6:30 p.m., with his
"good, clean fun."
"The thing about magic is that is
is illogical," says Lynn. "It is some-
times more fun to perform for
accountants than for children."
Kids just accept a trick or an illu-
sion and shrug it off, saying "Its
magic', but adults will say they
have to figure it out and when they
can't it drives them nuts."
Stating he has no special powers,
Lynn says one can do any trick,
with 20 years experience.
For Mandel, the journey through
illusions has taken him to many
venues across Canada, the United
States and Australia, over the last
21 years.

between 7:30 p.m. and 8 p.m.
