9 tables in play at Cranbrook euchre party
dies which will be done again this
year towards the end of November.
However, some people in the com
munity have indicated that they
would rather donate money for a tax
receipt. Those people feeling more
comfortable donating money for tax
receipts can do so by donating funds
to the Foundation for Enriching
Education and can designate the use
their money is put to. They will
receive a tax receipt from the founda
tion.
Anyone interested in playing darts
on a regular basis at the Cranbrook
Community Centre is asked to come
to the Cranbrook Hall on Thursday,
Dec. 7 at 8 p.m. to meet with Mrs.
Evans in order to organize the events.
John and Marg Saxon saw the
Santa Claus parade in Mitchell and
visited John and Nancy Vanass in
their new abode there.
Ben Fretz reported that he and his
sister Sammy Jo had seen the Santa
Claus parade in Brussels and he
wanted me to note that he had spotted
councillor Graeme MacDonald in the
crowd. I must send that boy out on
assignments more often. He keeps an
eye open for important people.
I saw my Millennium Twins again!
They are now sitting up all by them
selves. Benjamin is still interested
only in food. Pablum and any baby \
food jar get his undivided attention.
He is jolly and smiling when on
“full”. When he sees his mother his
face melts in folds of happy chubbi
ness.
Evelyn plays and interacts with
everyone and everything she sees this
includes playing with her food in
which she is only marginally interest
ed as filler. Wiping her food all over
her hair and her face is more fun than
eating it. All activity stops when she
sees her father and she always gives
him her undivided smiling attention.
Benjamin finds his sister a lot more
interesting when she is covered in
' food.
And I am still the weird guy with
the beard.

I attended the Grey Central school
council meeting and want to report
that all the enriching reading pro
grams have arrived at the school.
These reading series were bought in
part with the $3,500 donated to the
school by the school council. These
programs will help the schoolteachers
in their drive to encourage literacy
and good lasting reading habits in the
students.
It shows that funds raised by the
school council are put to good use.
Among the fundraising efforts of the
school council is the selling of can-
