THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 2001. FROM BRUSSELS Thursday busy at the Branch Happy Easter to everyone! I hope you had an enjoyable time with fam- ily and friends over the holiday. The Branch and Legion family had a busy time and fun as usual. Thursday was a really busy night at the Branch with a supper of delicious beef stew being served. Next Friday ham and scalloped potatoes are on the menu. Following supper was an executive meeting for the Branch, then the 70th anniversary committee met to get plans in place for the celebrations in , October. To kick off the celebrations keep Friday, June 1 open for a wing and entertainment evening for the whole family to enjoy. All members of the community are invited to attend, so keep the night open for the Brussels Legion. There was Thursday night darts and upstairs the Pipe Band was hav- ing practice. Easter euchre was held Saturday afternoon with 11 tables at play. Euchre is every two weeks down- stairs at the Branch. The Easter singles dance goers Continued on page 19 Happy Easter! The joy of the morning and the entire weekend was evident in every corner of the village this Easter weekend as the cycle of life was faced and then celebrated in many forms and fashions. The noon Lenten services, spon- sored by the Ministerial group, were well received as the United Joans (Brussels and Walton) and Art Byer, the new pastor from the Mennonite Fellowship, led us in the story of Holy Week. The Easter Bunny from 5R's is making a new nest in Kitchener. Ruth Davidson took the little beauty home. The bunny from the United Church silent auction is now in the The Majestic Women's Institute held its annual meeting in the Brussels Library on Wednesday, April 11 at 12:30 p.m. beginning with a delicious potluck dinner. Immediately after dinner Joe Steffler gave a short, informative talk giving the rules and stipulations on cleaning up the roadsides. The Majestic WI is going to do the road- sides one and a half miles east as well as one and a half miles west of Brussels. President, Peggy Keffer opened the meeting with the Ode followed by the Mary Stewart Collect repeated in uni- son. Leona Armstrong gave the secre- tary's report and Edna McLellan the treasurer's report. The Institute is sending $80 to the Coins for Friendship fund. A card of thanks was read from the Albers fam- ily for the fire donation. An invitation to Gorrie United Church on April 28 was read. There are to be three speakers and a make- over. Lunch and admission is $14 beginning at 9 a.m. Payment is to be made by April 20. The roll call was answered by pay- ing dues for the coming year and home of Bob Smith. Thanks for the support and enjoy the new rabbits in your life. Reports from Tory Hill let it out that Councillor Wilson has hit the Half Century mark and so Ralph Pearson's old shed saw this celebrat- ed properly, with old friends and family bringing lots of good stories and pictures to share. Enjoy the next 50 Greg. The Optimist's Legrande Feast on Saturday (in support of the children's hospital) was a roaring success. An auction, dinner and dancing put everyone in a charitable mood and the evening was deemed a success. Lauri of Tastefully Yours did her usual great things with the menu. Thanks for the energy, the commu- nity spirit and the donations all in support of that spot in London. We are ever grateful that it's there for our neighbours, our kids and our grand- children. Let the Optimists know if you missed this opportunity to offer sup- port to their. Children's Hospital project. Easter Sunday saw the churches busy celebrating their Easter people revealing Sunshine Sisters. The WI is to pay a membership fee to the Historical Society. An invitation to share two meetings with Bluevale WI was gratefully accepted. One joint meeting is to be held in Brussels and the other in Bluevale. Lucy Hesse gave the program co- ordinator's report and Doris McCall reported on the PRO and Tweedsmuir report. Leona Armstrong presented Peggy Keffer with a gift as well as three 4-H leaders, Elizabeth Dewit, Joyce Johnson and Jacquie Bishop. Darlene Harding from Howick WI installed the officers. They are: past president, Peggy Keffer; president, Lucy Hesse; first vice-president, Kathy Bridge; second vice-president, Janice Forsythe; secretary, Leona Armstrong; assistant secretary, Jean Fraser; treasurer, Edna McLellan; district director, Peggy Keffer; alter- nate, Edna McLellan; PRO, Doris McCall; education co-ordinator, Yvonne Knight; pianist, Alice Brothers; assistant pianist, Marie McCutcheon; Tweedsmuir, Doris McCall, Kathy Bridge; lobbying, status. The good Catholic folk lent us Candice McLellan and her trumpet so she and Phil Graber on his drums could get the folk at Brussels United in the proper state to celebrate Easter. Keep an eye on your belongings. A front porch was not even a safe place for a new scooter last week. Be alert — the thieves are out there so be sure that names and numbers are on bikes, blades and other belongings and remember to enforce the stealing is wrong story. When a kid loses a new treasure everyone is sad. Enjoy the new life and growth that April brings. Bye now, Betty G. W.
