Sawmill Road parade
getting bigger, creative
To the Editor,
On Saturday evening, Dec. 2, the
neighbours on Sawmill Road in
McKillop will once again parade
their decorated farm machinery
around the block to help get us all
into the Christmas spirit.
Tractors, combines, grain buggies
and plows will be decked out in
Christmas lights which can be seen
across the fields as we make our
way east from the farm of Gordon
and Irma Pryce, at 43451 Sawmill
Rd, then return up the Hullett-
McKillop line and back to Pryce's.
This is an opportunity fora the
neighbours to get together for fun
and fellowship.
Each year, the participants seem
to become more creative. Usually
we expect 18-20 participants but
this year we are opening up the
parade. to anyone interested in join-
ing the festivities.
Just call Pryce's at 527-0917 or
Whitmore's at 527-1491 for more
information.
The parade departs at about 5:30
p.m. as dusk sets in. For front row
seats just come and park in a drive-
way, at an intersection, or on the
shoulder of the road.
The welcome will be warm and
the viewing will be easy. It ' is a
unique way to get yourself geared
up for the Christmas season.
We look forward to seeing you
there.
Sincerely,
Bruce Whitmore

Donations to Zambian
school a good way
to recognize
International Aids Day
From Page 5
Kondwa continue to hold a spe-
cial place in her heart. Through
the magic of bank cards, money
can be transferred quickly and
easily to Zambia.
Donors can be assured that all'
of their donations will reach the
children at Kondwa.
We will continue to accept
donations, made out to "Clinton
United Church" (Box 204,
Clinton, NOM 1L0) with the
words "Africa Project in the
memo line.
Receipts will be issued for
donations of $20 or more.
This new school year, begin-
ning in January, 2007, $100 will
cover the cost of sending a child
to school for a year.
This amount covers clothing,
shoes, school supplies and the
mandatory school fees imposed
by the Zambian government. It
also covers, happy smiles, full
tummies, the joy of learning and
the priceless gift of a future!
Miraculously, even small dona-
tions add up quickly and allow us
to send yet another child to
school.
Donations are welcome any-
time, as some schools in Zambia
collect school fees on a monthly
basis, enabling poorer families to
send children to school.
Our little friends at Kondwa
are so destitute that even a
monthly fee of $10 is too much
for their households.
On International Aids Day, let
us continue to focus on our abili-
ty to improve the lives of others
and may we all be blessed with
the knowledge that we can make
a difference in this world!
Sincerely,
Helena Meehan
and Maarten Bokhout
Clinton, Ont.
