At the Branch
Seaforth branch to install new executive
By JoAnn McDonald
A fantastic time and turnout for
the Legion Auction and one can
never say "thanks" too many times.
But there has been lots of other
activities at the Branch as well. A
good attendance was on hand for
the April 26 elections meeting. A
new executive was elected.
Visiting mothers
There was a wonderful turnout at Huronlea in Brussels, Friday, when friends and family
attended the Mother's Day tea. As well as partaking of tea, coffee and delicious treats, an
afternoon of conversation and socializing was enjoyed.
A Note from Betty
Happy Mother's Day! Flowers to admire, food to savour, gifts to enjoy
and memories to recall, all brought on by our offspring. Aren't we lucky? It's
the one day that mothers feel okay about being thoroughly pampered. Hope
you enjoyed the day as much as I did.
I won a neat mat this week. 5Rs is running a sale on their woven mats
until this Saturday (40 per cent off), and to promote sales they had a draw
and I won. Be sure to go in and check out the colourful mats, made out of
the clothing not suitable for sale.
The genders appear to have a different view of what spring clean-up
means. Men think the garage and vehicles, women think closets and
cobwebs. General discussions must be made and the goals repeated many
times in order that an old lamp can be trashed or the 1965 motor moved
from the prime spot in the garage. Oh, the joys of spring. Just close the
closet door, and the garage one as well, and enjoy the weather.
Spring also brings graduation reunions. I'm lucky to be part of a tradition
that makes life easy. The nurses of St. Joseph's in Guelph meet every year,
all graduating classes are included, the first Wednesday of May for
memories, laughs, catch-up and of course good food and drink. The class
lists are preserved and updated so it's a matter of mailing the place of the
event for the year in question. Nearly 200 of us attend and the year of your
graduation is recognized. This year, six fine-looking women were with us to
celebrate 55 years since graduation. I'm not sure if I look as good as they do
even now and they were certainly enjoying the moment.
Be sure to check the paper for coming events, music nights, meals and
other things to raise the level of joy you have from living in our community.
Queen Victoria is expected at the United Church on Saturday and yes, she
has a new black dress for the occasion of the church perchers
Bye now,
