THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2004. At the Branch Brussels Cadets planning spring getaway By Jo-Ann McDonald The Brussels Optimists began the week at the Brussels Legion Branch by holding their monthly meeting downstairs. The Optimists are inviting members of their club, the Brussels Lions, Brussels Fire Department and members of the Brussels Legion to attend and invite a friend to a Legion fish fry and social evening. It will be held at the Legion and the guest speaker will be Jay Campbell the weatherman for the New PL. Legion members wishing to attend should call the Branch ASAP. The Cadets have finally been able to resume meetings and are,now planning for their spring getaway. The Thursday night darts had 16 players. After playing seven -games, two teams were tied for first place with six wins apiece. A playoff decided the winners, Cassie Bootzin and Bruce Clark. Finishing second were Carol Gross and John Harrison. There was a tie for the men's high start with both Paul Gross and Bob Cochrane shooting 108. The ladies' high shot of the night was by Sandra Josling with 114. The Friday night supper of chicken wings, fries and salad was enjoyed by over 40 diners. This week is roast beef. On Saturday, the euchre tournament had 14 tables of players. The winning couple with 79 points was Lloyd and Lillian Appleby. Tied for second place were Dennis and Aileen Leddy and Harry and Grace Smith with 75 points each. The not-so-lucky pair were Gordon and Louise Bosman with only 47 points. Lucky lone hand winners were Dorothy Caner and Willis Patter. Away to Paisley to, play District cribbage were four Comrades Eric Ross, Norm Dobson. John Harrison and Sandra Josling. They report having a very, enjoyable day but will not advance to provincial play in Ottawa. Keep saving the pop tabs. Every little bagful helps. Keep Wednesday, Feb. 28 at. 7:30 p.m. open for public speaking. Students from Grey Central and; Brussels Public School, from Grades 1 - 8, the variety of topics, the presentations, even the nervous hand wringing makes for a wonderful evening. The cooking bee is in March. We are looking for new recipes, foil pans, spaghetti sauce, cheese, hamburger, stewing beef, onions, etc. Items can be dropped into the Branch between 4 and 6 p.m. any day. There was a wonderful response to our request for kneelaps. What's a kneelap? It is a small blanket or throw used for just over the knees and legs for the mature residents and less-mobile residents who feel the cold on their lower body. Not to be too big, as to get caught in the wheels of wheelchairs. but no definite size: The laps will be given to veterans and residents of Parkwood Hospital. London and to residents of Huronlea. We have reports of six laps already completed and more being worked on. The Sunday night singles dance saw just under 70 dance to the Country Versatiles. The cold weather and blustery days are keeping people off the roads. Well Cupid's day is past for another year. Here's hoping you got a little lift from Feb. 14. The sale of chocolate and flowers is a big part of the February economy and both do a great service to the well-being of many. Around this house the more the better. The one advantage of being a Valentine baby is that the day is well advertised and so seldom forgotten. And so another year has passed, new numbers to remember and lots of memories made once again. Thank goodness the flowers outnumbered the Willie Nelson tapes and so for another year I guess I'll keep my present friends. The hockey crew is still busy, busy with playoffs and • tournaments keeping them all in top form and on the road a lot. We had friends from Wainfleet drop in on Sunday from a weekend of hockey in Kincardine. What a good surprise. They're usually summer friends so that was a very welcome treat. The curling club has their plans set to celebrate their 40th anniversary. Sounds like a fun time of rots of memories and remember whens. The party is ready for March 27 so get your reply back to the members so they can save your spot. The income forms are appearing which means the end of February is in sight. The next thing we know the snow will be gone. Ah. Enjoy your week. Touch base with someone you haven't seen for a while. Bye now, Betty G.W.
