The Citizen, 1999-12-08, Page 15THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1999. PAGE 15. Students prepare for concert In the absence of a report from the girls at Hullett Central School this week I thought I would inform you of some overall happenings. Nov. 22 was report card day for the fall term. As a result, parent/teacher interviews were held the evening of Nov. 25 and during the day on Nov. 26. This necessitated a PD day or holiday for the pupils. Much preparation is being done for their Christmas Concert to be held on Wednesday evening, Dec. 15. The SAC Committee has decided to purchase a video camera for school use with Club Z points. The school collects Zehrs and Knechtel’s tapes for the purchase of new library books. UPC svmbols from Keliogg’s products are collected to earn valuable educational resources. Simply collect the whole box top with the UPC symbol. Tapes and box tops can be dropped off at the school office. Hopefully you will keep these facts in mind as you do your gift and grocery shopping for the holidays and into the new year.

You could sense the excitement the instant you entered the door at Londesboro United Church this past Sunday. This was the day of the annual White Gift Service. Jack and Helen Lee were the greeters while Harris and Brenda Snell served coffee and muffins. The poinsettias at the front of the sanctuary are compliments of Scrimgeour’s Food Market in Blyth. Also part of the decorations was a beautiful Christmas tree newly purchased by the Sunday School. The flowers on the memorial stand were placed by the family of the late Clifford Shobbrook. During the children’s time Caitlin Pollard and Rev. Ross lit the second Advent candle - the candle of peace. Stickers for each day of the coming week were added to the Christmas sticker picture. The pageant presented by the Sunday School was A Christmas Journey. Cast was: narrator, Terry Radford; Joseph, Dakota Riley; Mary, Jackie Mitchell; angel, Meaghan Wheeler; shepherds, Eric Radford, Shawn Drost, Alex Stephenson; wisemen, Rachel Snell, Kelly Stephenson, Kendra Falconer; young people, Tonya Drost, Amanda Falconer, Amanda Mitchell; innkeeper, Matt Goodall; accompanist/director, Barb Bosman; assistant directors, Kittie MacGregor, Mary Ann Drost, Jane Hoggart, Catherine Allen, Laurel Mitchell; musical support, primary choir, Away in a Manger, junior choir, Get Ready; duet, Amanda and Tonya Falconer, Still, Still, Still; senior choir, hymns. Three young people, learning of amazing happenings in a Bethlehem stable, decide to investigate. They discover a bag of gold. In their journey to return the coins to the family of the Christ child, they learn more from the innkeeper, shepherds and wisemen. The youth group will meet at the Goodall’s on Thursday, Dec. 9 at 7 p.m. for the making of Christmas crafts. At the recent meeting of the official board for Londesboro United Church both the board of stewards and the manse committee announced plans to do renovations. The manse committee feels they have completed work on the manse exterior and want to start changes on the interior - beginning with the living and dining rooms. From the top down is how the board of stewards described their plans, citing the need for the new soffit and fascia. Remember that time is money and both groups will be looking for volunteer help. A few hours of donated time may help you fill a long dark winter day. Expect to hear more of these plans in the new year.
