John and'Christine let their talents out so the rest of us could enjoy the songs and dancing of this story of lost love for Oliver Twist. Once again KW Musical Productions did a fine job. As volunteers they are part of the whole show from painting props, to sales and advertising as well as countless hours of practise. Lindsay and Andrew were impressed with the show and even got autographs from Oliver, Fagin and Nancy - their stars. Grandma Alma just smiled. Christmas shopping got started for me this week in Newmarket but it was very strange to be wandering the mall with lots of folks wearing shorts. It was hard to stay on subject let alOne season.

The resulting reor- ganization of the store layout with the new colour brought about increased sales. Volunteers were thanked for their ongoing attendance and support of the store. The sewing machine at the store is in a terminal state so if you have one to give or sell call Joan at the 5Rs and make her day. As we head into cold and flu sea- son be nice to yourself and wash your hands for at least 15 seconds each time you know you should.

Think about what your hands have touched and you'll want to sing lustily. Stay clean and keep healthy. Enjoy the sun. Bye now, Betty .G. W.

It was nice to see so many out to remember those who have gave so much. Thank you to Judy, Terry, and Pam, my poppy committee. Thank you to Glenn, Julie, Sandra and Joanne for your help. Thank you to all who donated during the poppy canvass and to the Cadets and Legion members who helped with the canvassing. Thank you to all who allowed us to place poppy boxes in their businesses.

Thank you to our Pipe Band for leading our parade and to Lisa for organizing the flag bearers and parade.
