Majestic WI plans soup and sandwich euchre The Majestic Women’s Institute met in the Brussels library at l:3() p in. with a good attendance. President.

Kathy Bridge and the financial report was given by Jean Bell. The roll call was answered by giving a current event. There is an officer’s workshop at A Note from Betty There was lots of fun in Brussels this past weekend, ball games, horseshoes, gatherings galore and water balloons! Lots of folks getting one last fling out of the summer. Weddings were being celebrated as well. It seems September and October are giving June a real run as wedding months for the year. McCauleys and Workmans can now relax, leaving the McArters, Machans, Harrisons and Lowes to worry about wedding details. The school crew are into the swing of things, settling into new teachers, new routines and new knowledge. Long bus rides three to a seat are the only complaints I've heard. The Blyth show - Death of the Hired Man and the Threshers Reunion were enjoyed by many from the village. Both events brought back memories of rural life, reminders of days gone by. As the water girl when the threshing machine came to our farm, they were not good old days but then maybe my memory is going too. It was good to see the kids back for Sunday school, bringing their smiles and energy ready for a new year. Congratulations Katie Harrison on being our ’99 Brussels Fair Ambassador.
