Plan to attend our information evening and learn how our new CIBC RESP's can help ensure your children or grandchildren's future MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1998 BRUSSELS LEGION 7:30 p.m. RSVP 887-6521 Free Babysitting Available A Note from Betty Hurrah! Yipee! Good Work! These words were heard this week in three very specific spots in town. The 5Rs Thrift Shop was celebrating seven years in business. Members attended a potluck dinner and reviewed the unique things that happen in that space. The Boyntons were acknowledged as the owners of the store that gave us the needed start seven years ago. Managers Joan Jacobs and Rose Horne were praised for their talents and their ability to utilize over 40 people who volunteer at the shop making it a unique place to visit. Staff at our bank were gleeful as they were recognized as number one in our area by the CIBC. They attended a dinner and out of 32 branches they showed up as number one. Ask to see their trophy and they can share the details. The third spot of joy was the United Church. Lift-light-air - were the focus as PROJECT UPLIFT, our lift and renovation work at the church entry, was dedicated by Rev. Chris. The children blew bubbles while Jim McLean played the bagpipes setting the tone for a fun way to celebrate the work and co-operation of the congregation. Change is always difficult and to remove the entire entryway and make it new and functional for all folk was a big undertaking. In that service, the time, talents and patience of Henry Exel and crew, John Rutledge and Ralph Watson were honoured. It was pointed out that each person involved in a project of this size has their own role to play and all are needed. Well we're into another week. Let me know what you're celebrating: Bye now, Betty G. Happenings at the Branch Break.
