THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2001. 5Rs plans celebration to mark 10th The Majestic Women's Institute held its October meeting in the Brussels Library with 28 present which included 12 guests from Bluevale WI. The president, Lucy Hesse, wel- comed everyone and opened the meeting with Things to be Thankful for and The Rich and The Poor. The ode was then sung and the Mary Stewart Collect repeated in unison. • ' Secretary Leona Armstrong gave her report and Edna McLellan gave the treasurer's report, stating that $804.50 was realized from the sale of quilt tickets. Maureen Raymond won the quilt, Marie McTaggart won the cushions and Helen Joyce of Toronto received the Knechtel voucher. On Nov. 1 at noon, the Institute is hosting a soup and sandwich meal followed by euchre. It was decided to make another quilt with Leona Armstrong, Edna McLellan and Kathy Bridge being By Betty Graber Watson Ten years ago now Mitchell's Five to a Dollar Store was a buzz of activ- ity. A new venture in retail was in the process of being. Consultation took place, churches and service clubs were approached for financial and moral support, a board of directors was formed and things started to move. An article in the Sept. 1 1991 Citizen outlined the ambitious plans of the dreamers of the board. All we wanted was a retail outlet that offered affordable clothing, put community first, was bright and cheery, didn't smell and expenses be covered in the process. Pretty big ideas from seven women who never owned or ran a the committee to purchase materials. Alice Brothers is to lay the wreath at the cenotaph on Nov, 11. She was also the winner of the Thanksgiving draw. Edna McLellan gave a splendid report on the Huron County rally held at Fordwich. Next year's rally is to be held in Belgrave. Ruth Shade was in charge of a con- test, What happened in 'Canada in 2000, our Millennium Year? It made one realize how little is known of Canadian history. She also had a reading Who are Heroes? • The meeting closed with singing of 0 Canada and the Institute grace. Lunch was served by Kathy Bridge, Lepna Armstrong, Eleanor Hemingway and Yvonne Knight. A secret auction was held on 'two Institute plates, cup and saucer and a Trillium plate donated by Marie McTaggart and Mary Lowe with the proceeds of $104 going to Majestic. store. All this and we expected the community to bring in the inventory. The original board was representa- tive of the five village churches, each one picked for their gifts and talents and all were active in church and community. Linda Garland, Sharon Freeman, Caroline Kernaghan, Nancy MacDonald Exel, Marylou Ruttan, Julie Harrison and Betty Graber formed the initial board of By Betty Graber Watson Call 887-6236 887-9231 The ball park was the place to be on Friday night as the diamond went co-ed. You had to be very awake to know who was really under that bra. The men's and women's league even upset the rules of ball to make for a very entertaining event. I really think it's time to advertise this as a Fashion Ball. Don't miss it next year. You'll enjoy businessmen and councillors, in drag. Traffic was heavy this week at the north end of the village as the Mennonite church was the host for the Ten Thousand Villages sale. Lots of treasures to see and buy and unof- ficial reports say over $22,000"Was gained. So, if you don't see Bev Brown for a few weeks it's because she's exhausted from all the pre-sale 5Rs -with Wendy Martin as our man- ager. At each of the past nine annual meetings we review our past year and marvel that We're still in retail. We'd run a wonderful charity but our status as a not-for-profit organization man- dates that. we cover expenses while being a benevolent society promoting community enrichment and develop- ment. And so we continue to preparations but is pretty pleased with all her volunteers from the com- munity and is now snoozing with a smile on her face. It's over — ah! The windows at 5Rs and The Cid:fen were drumming up interest this week as each advertised an upcoming event in an interesting manner. Silent auctions are a fun and non-threatening way to raise money for good causes. Unique items are on display in both windows. Several visitors were inquiring about the dis- plays. It was great to be able to entice folks to come back for the next two weekends to get the goodies. I'm thinking about re-reading Robert Fulgrums Everything / Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. We had grandchildren here on the weekend and they were a great reminder to eat when you want, sleep when you need to and laugh and play at every chance. But I'll not start reading just yet because I'd fall right to sleep — with a smile -on my face. The leaves are very pretty this week if you can see them through the raindrops. Bye now, Betty G. W. REDUCE the garbage our communi- ty takes to landfill; REUSE your good stuff; RECYCLE your clothes, RECLAIM treasures and return them home, and always we REJOICE at the generosity of our people. The 5Rs in our name are still very relevant. This Friday and Saturday we're celebrating our main street business that sells everything from spats to mats to boats and coats and socks and rocks plus treasures that we even wonder about. Joan Jacobs,' Rose Horn, Marie Bernard and Tammy Mason have the refreshments ready for you. The 2001 board of directors — Cathy Snyder, Marg Black, Tammy King, Agnes Schell, Rene Richmond, Ruth Lowe and Betty Graber Watson hope to see you at the celebration. Good eats At the head of the table was carver Murray Cardiff as peo- ple lined up for the delicious meal served at Melville Presbyterian's anniversary supper on Sunday.
