FROM BELGRAVE
Community
prepares
for annual
fowl supper
Fall is here again and with it
comes our 53rd annual fall fowl
supper.
For all newcomers to the commu-
nity and also to remind those who
have helped for years, here is a brief
history of this annual event started
in 1949.
Each year over 1,000 people sit
down together at one time over a
traditional hot turkey supper with
the whole community contributing
time and food to make this supper a
huge success.
Last year was another great year,
realizing a profit of $6,300. The
proceeds go to the operating costs
of the Belgrave Community Centre,
arena and park and sponsor minor
sports program throughout the year.
Without the fowl supper these areas
might cease.
Tickets are available at local
stares. Please help when the com-
munity calls on you.

Your Peace was sung followed by
the children gathering in the front
pews for children's time. Rev. Miner
Clare asked the children what love

and love people whom they may find
it difficult to be nice to.
