At the Branch By Jo-Ann McDonald It was a quieter week around the Brussels Legion Branch this week.

The Shamrock and Pfizger group made a presentation to about 40 area farmers about their products and techniques for animal breeding. Comrade Cathy Snyder became a grandmother. Grandson Seth arrived Wednesday morning at London's St. Joseph Hospital to proud parents Matthew and Kendra. Everyone is doing fine and Grama Cathy is on cloud nine. There was a super turnout for the turkey dinner. Thanks to all our comrades who contributed towards the great meal. The Legion will be closed on Good Friday so there will be no meal this week. On April 5 the meal will be ham and scalloped potatoes.

Good hockey, even teams and community pride are with us once again. Two wins are now under their shoulder pads with games on Easter weekend to finish the series. If you know any of the coaches or players a little cash donation would be welcome CO offset the costs of busing and other expenses — like food for starving players. We can be part of this team — silent partners are always welcome. If music is one of your favourite things call the school and I'm sure they'll send a student to you with a ticket for a performance tonight. The Seaforth All Girls Marching Band and Brussels Performance Band will show their stuff in the gym so get your `toonie' out and enjoy the show. Extra money will be used to get our band to Ontario Place in June. Support the kids! If this was a weather column it could be full now with all the seasonal and unseasonal weather that we've experienced or heard about in the past week. March can now boast the worst snow squalls of the winter as well as all the other elements available. Maybe Easter will bring the spring to say. Spring must be near, we're into community events — dinners, bake sales, auctions, information nights and courses. Usually March is a safe time to run these but it's just like November — luck of the draw for weather. Thanks to all the brave souls who ventured out last week to support all the gatherings. Brother Bill is celebrating as his second granddaughter of 2002 has arrived. Caitlin joined Sophie (January 25) making life good at the Hetherington house as all the babies are in the Hamilton area making cuddling easy. Now Laura Smith at Braemar can sigh and again enjoy the role of Great-Gramma. As you Celebrate Easter with those you love — take that extra minute to really appreciate the folks in the your life and let them know how important they are to you. Join the church crowd this week and celebrate Life. Bye now, Betty G. W.
