The Walton Hall _ and ballpark
were the gathering places for the
Deitner reunion a week ago.
It was organized by Bruce and
Michelle Lake and many family
members of the Deitner connection
were able to attend. They enjoyed
visiting outside under the trees, a
potluck meal and playing games at
the park.
Bruce and Michelle did some
tidying up around the hall and park
proceeding the party.
Last week Joelle Glanville and her
Aunt Pat enjoyed a wonderful

stayed with Paul and Teresa
Glanville and girls.
While there they went to Pipers
Lagoon, New Castle Island,
Parksville to play minigolf, Tofino,
and then back to Victoria for a day
before flying home. It is a beautiful
place to see and as long as Paul and
Teresa Glanville are there. Joelle
hopes to go back again to visit the
beautiful mountains and enjoy more
scenery.
Congratulations to the public

evening from St. James School. I
understand both ceremonies were
really nice and congrats to the boys.

celebration of Grey Twp.'s 150th
anniversary.

grand style was Caden Lee. A
special present bought at the
school's auction, by parents Brett

donated by Brian and Shelley
McGavin. A party for eight was
planned and organized by the
McGavins and Caden Lee and his
friends enjoyed a marvellous time
there. Swimming, games and food

famous Round Barn Theatre. They
returned to the Shipshewana flea
At its June 20 meeting Morris -
Turnberry council voted to hire Data
Fix to organize the Vote by Mail for
the 2006 election.
Data Fix's estimated cost was
significantly less expensive than was
that of Canada Post.
Clerk-treasurer Nancy Mitchie
stated "Data Fix includes an easier
process for revising the voters' list."
Canada Post carried out the vote
by mail in the last municipal
election.
The memorandum of
understanding of the agreement
between the municipality and Data
Fix states that the process will
permit officials to make corrections
to the list, to access voter counts
needed for electoral planning and to
provide an electronic copy of all
changes to the Municipal Property
Assessment Corporation.
