THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2002. UC auctions dolls Brussels United Church are holding a Tea and Doll Auction on Nov. 30 from 2 - 4 p.m. Joan Golden had participated in a doll auction in another church and said it was a success, so it was decided to hold one here. Some of the church women in the community joined in and designed and named beautiful one-of-a-kind dolls. People can now, if they wish, submit a reserve bid for one of these treasures. Place it in an envelope with the doll's name, at the church. There will be a Dress Up corner and tea party for the children. Here is a time to bring out a fancy hat and gloves and come for tea, fun and join in the auction. New siren here Residents of Brussels will once again hear the wail of the fire siren Saturday mornings. • With the replacement siren recently installed atop a main street building in the village, pager tests will take place each Saturday morning at 11:30 a.m. The siren is triggered when a fire call comes to the pagers carried by all Brussels firefighters. The siren had to be replaced after it was stolen in August. It was later discovered dumped behind the dam. Fair health Leona Armstrong gets her blood pressure tested at the Health Fair held in Melville Presbyterian Church on Saturday morning. The event included a healthy breakfast and lunch, speakers and information on such things as exercise for health and heart, massage therapy, spiritual health and managing menopause naturally.

Dave Goebel is up and about. Let it snow. Let it snow. Let it snow. The first good snow of the season is really quite beautiful. the pristine lawns, calm skies and encased trees are awesome. The scene sets the mood for the fun of the next month. We're just ready to celebrate Advent — the waiting and anticipation of Christmas with all the fun and food and love and laughter that goes with the next blessed season. The bazaars and gatherings continue. The women._ of our Catholic congregation invite you_ to their annual fundraiser this Saturday and of course have treats in store. The doll keepers at the United church are ready to let you buy a little beauty in time for Christmas. So after you've been to St. Ambrose — about 2 p.m. would be good — come to the United church for tea and the Doll auction. The folks have lovingly dressed over 20 dolls in unique fashions. The needlework in some is wonderful and the styles of several seem to resemble folks you might know. So enjoy some fun on Saturday and buy yourself or someone else a one-of-a- kind gift.- Family and friends are foremost in our minds at this time of year and several women in our community have taken this privilege very seriously for more than 27 years now. Regular, intentional gatherings keep these public school friends - connected. Their combined worlds have moved through high school, further education, jobs, -weddings, babies, funerals, divorces, more jobs, growing children, a much changed world, more jobs and the joys of life itself. Their friendship has changed and grown with them as they gather annually to catch up on each other's lives. Donna Aitchison White opened her home to her friends from the past and those who came for renewal this year were Mary Ann Bernard Alcorn, Judy Adams, Dianne Stephenson Bowley, Cheryl Bauer Ryan, Brenda Knight Wheeler, Karen Bridge Smith, Jacquie Workman Cowing, Karen Richmond Stewart and Catherine Cardiff Fuller. Stories were shared and the committed friendship continues. Missing from this year's reunion were Carol Wheeler and Vicki McCall. Get your duds out and be part of the Santa Claus Parade starting at Victoria Park on Saturday. Be ready there at 4:30 p.m. with the music and motion to start at 5 p.m. heading to the arena for visits and treats. Sounds like a good day. By now, Betty G. W.
