A NOTE FROM BEM By Belly Graber Watson Call 887-6236 887-9231 Doesn't spring just give your whole life a lift? There's the happy hopping robin busy getting her new home ready for the kids. the whirl of wheels from bikes, skates and boards and the shouts and laughter of children playing outside. Yes life is good. All these are free for us to share and can be very entertaining even from the window or porch. If you need a little mood elevation make time to listen to the world around you. Our apologies The student in the front page picture of last week's issue of The Citizen was incorrectly identified. Kelby Krotz was_ putting the final touches on her Tech 2l woodworking project. We apologize for the error. The regular business of the Branch was conducted with special note that the Branch is in very poor financial shape at this time and that it needs a very successful silent auction this week to help restore financial footing. Donations are coming in nicely. The new offices will assume their offices as of June 1. At that time Comrade Norm Dobson will be Centre Cooking lessons weren't needed last week as many people were eating out and at the same time supporting our local charities. One lady cruising the grocery store mentioned that there were five dinners available last week for folks to attend. So after doing your part to support all the good causes by eating for them, you may need to hit the lettuce just a little harder this week. But it was worth every bite. The Maitland Conservation Foundation held its 16th fundraising dinner at the BMG Community Centre on Friday night. This annual event almost guarantees a good time. Their support groupls ready to have fun with all -the good folks who see the Wawanosh Nature Centre as an important part of our environmental, community. The staff at Maitland Valley goes president of Branch 218. Other executive positions elected were: first vice-president. Jo-Ann McDonald; second vice-president Andy Overholt; secretary, Allyson Cardiff; treasurer, Julie Harrison; executive, Mabel Glanville, Dale Sauve, Mike Dauphin and Greg Wilson. A joint installation will be held with Seaforth on May 14 in Seaforth. All members are invited to attend. Comrades under the weather include Sandy Huether and Bob Cochrane who are both recuperating at home. On Thursday evening, a meeting by the Huron County Dairy Producers was held at the Brussels Legion. Downstairs, the dart league had 14 taking aim at the boards. Finishing first were John Harrison and Lynda Shaw. Coming in second were Paul Gross and Jo-Ann McDonald. The high shot was by Tammy Thom with 103 and John Harrison with 132. High finishes were shot by Paul Gross with 77 and Sandra Josling with a 79. Having one poor game were Julie Harrison, Adam Smith and Sandra Josling when they failed to score a point. The Friday night supper of roast beef was well attended. This week is goulash. Saturday was busy at the Branch as both darts and euchre were played. The Huron County men's dart league had its final doubles dart day. There were over 60 competing for top spot, including some local men. The overall winners for the doubles champions were Clint Emmrich and Trevor Little. • The Sunday night singles dance out of their way to make this a very special night. It was rumoured that Lloyd Glanville was seen picking wild flowers for the occasion. Nice arrangements Lloyd. The items donated to support the nature centre-advertise that the people donating see the need for the centre, as it opens its fields and river to nearly 6,000 school children each year. Good work staff. You still have a few days to contact the Hike for Hospice folks to sup-port the Palliative Care Network. A nice walk in Wingham on Sunday afternoon with a few sponsors would give everyone a spring lift. Kathy Procter and Muriel Coultes would celebrate if you called them by Saturday. Enjoy your week. I'm hoping to catch up with a brother or two . Bye now, Betty G.W. had a great crowd with over 90 in attendance: Music was by the Ken Scott Orchestra. The next dance is in two weeks on Mother's Day. Keep saving pop tabs and bring them into the Branch. They will be heading to Eiora in early June. We are still accepting knee laps and appreciate all who have been making them. They are going to be disiributed in September so there's still time to work on them or bring them to the Branch. A reminder that anyone wishing to see the provincial service officer needs to contact Comrade Mabel Glanville immediately. _ Continued on page 19 FROM BRUSSELS The Brussels, Morris and Grey Community was full of eager, hungry residents for the Oldfellows dinner on April 21.
