At the Branch
Many attend Friday night supper
The Mennonite Fellowship congre-
gation and guests officially installed
and welcomed their new Pastor Brent
Kipfer to their church and to our
community on Sunday.
Work at school has settled into rou-
tine and so in celebration the public
school students had a break day on
Friday to enjoy the autumn weather.
We were in Kingston/Napanee area
last week and their trees are already
at about 40 per cent colour. Their
level of rain in the summer was more
restrictive than ours so perhaps that's
why their tree colours are already
more vibrant. Anyway they were
very pretty.
There are lots of things to do and
see again this month. Be sure to write
them down when your interest is first
piqued, for the numbers of food, fun
or music-related charitable happen-
ings is very impressive for a rural
community.
The Ten Thousand Villages Sale
starts Oct. 11 at the Mennonite
church. The Presbyterians would like
you to join them for their anniversary
barbecue on Oct. 14. The Royalaires
are making music at the BMG Centre
to benefit the pool heater fund on
• Oct. 20. The folks at the SR's look
forward to seeing you on Oct. 19 or
20 to celebrate their 10th year in
business. Music and goodies are
expected there as well. The Uniteds
would like you to attend their silent
auction Oct. 26 and 27 to help you
get started with your Christmas giv-
ing.
But of course before any ,of these
happen I know you'll be joining fam-
ily and friends to be part of a com-
munity of Thanksgiving this week-
end.
The Brussels Business Group con-
tinues to meet monthly and always
welcomes new members and new
input. The Santa Claus Parade on
Dec. 16 is the topic atresent. Be
sure to offer your suppor t. Good
memories are in the making.
I'm a little sad as I write this. My
good neighbour and friend Jean
Workman is away to heaven. As I
contemplate my time with Jean she
leaves me with good memories and
several really good reasons to chuck-
le. So if I'm honest I have no reason
to be sad, but I have many reasons to
be thankful that Sam, Jean, Lynn,
Murray ,and Don were part of my
family's growing up years. The
extended crew of Aitkens and Smiths
that were added as the years went by
gave Jean more reason to be proud of
her original three. Enjoy your wings
Jean.

This past Saturday was Zone C
entertainment day at Parkwood
Hospital. Six Branch members went
on the bus to visit with the local vet-
erans who reside at Parkwood. They
have lunch there, then bring resi-
dents down to the entertainment
lounge for a variety program put on
by members of the various Branches
in Zone C.
Although Branch 218 didn't per-
form this year due to other commit-
ments we will be there next time.
The residents really enjoy the social
and entertainment time.
