PRDC DISBANDS
The Park Recreational Development Committee voted to disband and disburse all
remaining funds at their last meeting on October 28. A letter was presented on behalf of
Brussels minor soccer asking for the remaining funds. It was noted that a further
construction was started at the new sports field for a new soccer field. The committee
expressed a concern that the new construction would have an adverse affect on drainage
on the field in that the field will not be able to hold back water the way it was designed to
do as well as a concern over whether any drainage tiles would be damaged with the
construction. It was voted to divide the remaining funds equally between minor soccer
and minor ball.
The PRDC expressed a great gratitude for all the help both financially and in volunteer
help that without their help the project would never have happened.
The following is a complete and final financial statement.

A Note from Betty
This is my second note to you; it's not quite the same as writing to my
brothers but I'm hoping you'll enjoy the challenge of following my train of
thought on a weekly basis. If I have it straight; I can write to you about
anything that is timely in the life of our community; so feel free to let me
know where your concerns abide.
Today my thoughts are on autumn, fall, preparing for winter. Rather
depressing if you think too long on the subject - so let's not!
Rather, we need to think of all the neat things that are going on, some with
us, most, in spite of us and many, without us. It just keeps one pretty busy,
thinking of all the things available to do.
Last Saturday the ladies of the Anglican Church had a good time with
their bazaar and were pleased to see so many of you ready to share your
cash for their good work. Like all shared resources, that money now goes on
to further the work of the church in our world.
Jean wanted us to know who won the prizes - the Barbie doll goes home
with Bonnie Campbell. Ross Eckmier is deciding the future of the candy
tree. Marie Rose has a new doll. Marie McCutcheon is enjoying a new rug
while Doris Fischer is wondering if Santa will come to her house for his
slippers, and just how did the Anglican ladies get his slippers anyway?
Viola Adams will be able to use her new calculator to figure things out.
Congratulations to the winners. The Anglicans appreciate the support.
The Optimist Club held its fourth Annual Harvest Stag on Nov. 13. Hope
"the friends of youth" in our community had a successful party.
Coming this week, it may make you tired thinking of where you can go.
Tuesday join the Institute for lunch and cards. On Wednesday see what the
5R's Thrift Shop has done in its seventh year of business and on Thursday
the United Church invites you to lunch.
On Saturday the folks at Braemar in Wingham - Annie, Elizabeth, Ken,
Lila and Ella, would like you to join them for tea.
Remember the Wednesday Morning Group - the instigators of the
Children's Bazaar that ran for 1 I years at the United Church, and the rest of
the United congregation are celebrating. Proceeds of those joyful sales
planted the idea for accessibility and so on Sunday at 3 p.m. "Project Uplift"
is ready for dedication. Join the joyful and of course there will be lunch!
Bye now!
Betty G.
