Our diningroom was simply gor- .geous. We set the tables with red tablecloths, heart place - mats and beautiful center- pieces with heart shaped raspberry scented candles floating in the center. The community seniors and all of our residents enjoyed our very romantic atmosphere. Thank you for all those who volunteered their time and to the dietary staff for preparing such a delicious meal.

Happy Easter to all. Dramateers perform skits, watch plays BY DENISE KREUTZWISER We opened our fourth meet- ing at the Vanden Hoven household on March 4, 1997, with the 4-H .pledge. Minutes from the previous meeting were read by Laura Devereaux. For the roll cal) we pretended we were a char- acter from any story that we liked. Different examples were Twecty Bird, Pete from Pete's Dragon, Little Mermaid, Cinderella and much more. Helen asked us why we would want to be an actress or actor. We played charades. We also did a skit starring a boss and an employee. We watched our puppet plays from last week. Mike played a C.D. for us. We had to tell how it made us feel. We put on another skit. It was about travelling. • We decided that our next meeting would be on March 11 at 12:45 until 4 p.m. We ended the meeting with donuts and juice. We opened our third meet- ing on February 27, 1997, with the 4-H pledge. For the roll call we had to sing or hum a line from one of our favorite songs. We could also make an animal sound. We worked on our books. We watched a video about puppet making. On the video they showed us how to make pup- pets out of socks, paper bags, etc. We got into groups and made puppet plays. Gerda videotaped us. We're going to watch our plays next week. We ended the meeting with a snack. Huron's program model for country CONTINUED from page 5 service to its population." With the help of five stu- dents in the adult education program McKee brought to the board meeting, she com- mented on what the program was doing for them and oth- ers. . "We can make a difference in the lives of our children and the adults. in Huron County," McKee added. McKee also stressed to the board the need for these pro- grams to continue, stating that jobs for people with less than a Grade 12 education have dropped 25 per cent in the last few years. 'There are households in Huron County where neither mom or dad can read their children a bedtime story," she said, adding that because of adult education, there are many households .in Huron County where moms and dads can do their homework at the kitchen table beside their chil- dren. Along with her presenta- tion, McKee's report listed recommendations that a 1996 study had sought to imple- ment. Out of these issues, Mckee said although they were taking them one by one, "many of them had already been implemented." The board's Director of Education Paul Carroll also noted that the federal govern- ment is )Woking at Huron's adult education program as a mods) for the teat- bfthe coun- try. 1e added it .was a `big hotter' for a small rural board to hive achieved. "(The trustees) arc in a unique leadership position," he said, adding it is because they spent "a decade or more of building relationships." McKee agreed, stating that through the conferences she had attended, she thought they were "in the perfect posi- tion" to be tht level of gov- ernment who will be provid- ing education and training. The coordinator also said she thought the program stood a chance when ques- tioned whether or not she' thought adult education could survive future spending cuts. "There will be dollars allo- cated, Pm sure of that, because We, as a country, can- not afford vast dollars on unemployment insurance."
