Always ready to lend a hand at the flowerbeds, decorating for every occasion, she was also a welcoming face and the initial driving force behind the Sunday night singles dances. Kate was a hidden treasure at the Branch. She was remembered in a lovely memorial service and Legion service on Friday at Branch 218. Over 200 family and friends were in attendance to hear and remember We're in the swing of September. Churches have returned to • their normal schedules and meeting dates are set to get the happenings going. Registration dates are set for Cub and Brownies and hockey to name but a few.

Four ladies of the Ladies Auxiliary Anne is moving on to other ventures. Thanks Anne for a job well done. The past few weeks in Brussels have brought some significant losses to 'many of our lives. Each person in this life affects others and only when death occurs do we feel the full impact of that loss. As we contemplate our lives and how they are affected by a death we are sad. The more time we spend with another the harder our grief. • And so we remember Joanne King, Cathy Snyder and Stu Parker. Each one of these folks made our community a better place. And as we think of them and our loss instead of letting the tears go on overly long — do as they did. Play a song, dance a jig, help a youth, paint a wall, hug a child or just smile and be supportive of the work of others. If we can leave this world a better place too, we've kept Joanne, Cathy and Stu's memories alive. Peggy enjoys playing hockey and swimming.
