This past week, the student's council held a "chocolate bar" day as a fund raising project. Lynn, Stacy and Kailyn Burke have returned from Vancouver, B.C., Stacy and Kailyn belong to the St. Marys Children's Choir which participated in an International Choral Festival held there. The festival hosted 47 choirs from around the world including Japan, Israel, Russia, Germany, Switzerland, Africa and Alaska. Stacy and Kailyn performed with the St. Marys Children's Choir at least once, if not twice a day. Their pinnacle performance was at the Chan Center on the grounds of the University of British Columbia. Several visitors attended mass on Sunday morning as the local Father Stephen .Eckert Council of the Knights of Columbus held its annual Communion Breakfast celebration in St. Columban Church this past weekend. The mass was presided by Father Tony Daniels, assisted by the council's Chaplain Rev. Archdeacon Paul Stephaniuk. Breakfast was served in the St. Columban Parish Hall following the service. Paul Steckle, member of Parliament, was the guest speaker for the event. Snowbirds John and Karen Menheere have returned home from a vacation in Florida. Several area young people participated in thc COR Retreat Weekend held in Dublin this past weekend. The COR weekend retreat is facilitated for young people between the ages of 16 and 21 giving them the opportunity to come together, meet new friends, and reflect on various aspects of their life and faith. The student's council at St. Columban School have been working hard to raise funds for the "Tame Flower Project" which involves a school for the victims of violence in Columbia. The money raised is used by the school in Columbia for woodworking equipment so that the students there can learn a trade, thereby supporting themselves and their families upon leaving. Fund raising projects included a bake sale and a "Penny Drive," where everyone brought in their pennies. A science fair held at the school saw many interesting projects. The projects had to involve making and using liquid solutions. Some projects involved using distilled water in an invention while other projects included exploring solvents in the laundry. Four projects were chosen to advance. They included a project by Owen O'Reilly and Chris Johnson working with hydraulic fluids; Denise Greer and Lianne vanderBurgt's making maple syrup; Tracey Ducharme did a project on plant fertilizer; and Chevonne Carlow grew some salt crystals. The St. Columban School participated in the Three on Three Hockey Tournament recently and won the final in a game against Holy Name School in St. Marys. Residents sow seeds Maplewood Manor Nursing Home The colour green was the theme during the month of March at Maplewood Manor. Irish music with Marian Rose accompanied by Elgin Nott, started our festivities. Casey Van Bakel delighted everyone by singing "0 Danny Boy." After an Irish green dinner, residents danced, sang and tapped their toes to the music of Frances Melady, Jim Delaney and Lou Rowland. A new feature at Maplewood had residents playing cards, crokinole and enjoying plain good old conversation during pub night now being held each Saturday night. A morning with Margaret Whitmore is an activity that residents look forward to every month where nails and hands are given special treatment. Rev. Springett and Bob Hulley led in worship service during the month of March. Virginia Elg also led in a hymn sing with residents. During horticulture club, residents were challenged to a contest where they had to guess the name of a flower that was mentioned in the songs that Eleanor Horst played on thc organ. Seeds were also sown which will be used for our spring planting. Residents enjoyed their delicious meal at Dining for Seniors and thc entertainment that followed. Everyone looks forward to the competition with volunteers at crokinole and bingo and have especially enjoyed visiting with the people who supported our penny sale. We hope you will be a lucky winner.
