President Barb Bosman eas- ily and graciously accommodated the ladies in her downstairs recreation room. Plans were discussed for a trip to a performance of the Buddy Holly Story at the Grand Bend theatre. Nature was the theme for the devo- tional time led by Joan Whyte, Helen Dale, Betty Millar, Gail Lear and Kerrie Whyte. The story of creation from Genesis was the scripture read- ing and a poem entitled "God's Book of Nature" gave pause for thought. A neat little story about The Seed Jar revealed how a grandmother's wedding gift of a jar of seeds not only brought happy memories of shared planting and gardens but contained financial help when the granddaugh- ter most needed it. George and Helen Underwood of Wingham were the guest speakers for the evening. They were introduced by Gail Lear as Helen is Harry Lear's sister. Helen grew up on a farm on the 13th of Hullett and she and George have been beef and chicken farmers. They showed slides and shared infor- mation about their agricultural tour of mainland China in March of 2005. The couple had heard China referred to as a sleeping giant. Everything they saw and heard during their trip confirmed that expression. Observances since their return bear truth to that statement.

At that meeting the -club honoured one of its own members country of extremes from teeming modern metropolises' like Shanghai and Beijing to poor country villages; from modern apartments to huts wall- papered with newspapers; from small farm patches worked as in ages past to large farming operations. Although -the poorest peasants are not paid well by western standards, George, who is particularly passion- ate on China, reasons that in an emerging China those persons now have more than they did. Londesborough United is in need of a new furnace system and at a recent meeting of the official board they agreed to set up a furnace fund. If you wish to make a special dona- tion in the coming months to that fund contact treasurer Ken Hun- king. Eight members of the Cheerio Club enjoyed a delicious ham din- ner at the Betty Cardno Centre in Clinton on Wednesday, June 21. Sandra Timpany of Bayfield led all that day's diners in a sing-along fol- lowing dinner. The Cheerios' short business meeting began with a serenity prayer read by Dorothy Johnston and roll call. Josephine MacGregor won the gift for June given by Ann Potter. All the ladies signed a get- well card for member Marie Glousher who is recovering from surgery in London. Two tables of cards rounded out a social afternoon. The group will meet again on July 19. for his many years of dedicated serv- ice to the club and at the Londesborough community. Keith Allen was a charter member of the club and has worked tirelessly for the club in all of its endeavours in the community for all the years since. At that meeting the club pre- sented Keith with a Melvin Jones Fellowship. This fellowship award is the highest honour that can be bestowed on a Lions member. Presenting the award was Past District Governor Lion Dave Overboe. Dave was a member of the Londesborough Club for many years and is aware of the dedication Keith has to the club. Congratulations from the commu- nity at large, Keith on this honour. A new resident of Londesborough is Erin Marshall. Erin is living in the former home of Florence Cartwright, down Elizabeth Street. Following graduation from Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton, Erin attended Conestoga College in Kitchener where she studied Police Foundations. She is currently working at the casino in Clinton having returned to the area from casino work in London, Barrie and Hanover. Erin's parents still live west of the village on Londesborough Road. Welcome to our little corner of the world, Erin. On Friday afternoon there was a small but significant presentation at the Huron County Museum in Goderich. The very unique bank of post boxes which were removed from the former post office were FROM LONDESBORO Guests discuss trip to China offered to the Postal Museum in Ottawa but they declined the gift much to the relief of Canada Post in our area. This meant that they could be offered to the Goderich Museum. Culture director for the county, Beth Ross, thanked Canada Post for considering their museum as a home for the boxes; for keeping a part of the area heritage in Huron County. The new acquisition will be on dis- play in the museum lobby for the summer. Then it will likely be part of a planned permanent street - scape. Authorization of the gift was in the form of a letter which area postal supervisor, Linda Walker of Goderich sorted into one of the boxes for curator, Beth Ross, to open and receive. Attending the presenta- tion and reminiscing about their time behind those boxes were former Londesborough postmistresses, Audrey Thompson and Dorothy Sottiaux. Villagers will remember those ladies for their years in the general tore. Bob and Audrey were owners from 1959 to 1973 and sold the store to Bill and Dorothy who handled the mail until 1990. Allan and Barb Bosman stopped in at the post office on Friday to report that Marion Snell had decided it was time for a change of scenery. You can now visit her at Huronview in Clinton. After a natural period of adjustment Marion will certainly enjoy the fellowship of her new surroundings and the music pro- grams.
