The selected homesite in Southcott Pines is within easy walking distance of Lake Huron. Well -treed with pines and oaks. the site is serviced with TV cable. pipeline water. underground hydro and telephone, and paved roads. The owner also is entitled to clubhouse, beach and X -country ski privileges in the subdivision. Lions President Frank Allister says he's confident the club will receive full community support for the project. "While the homesite itself is a very at- tractive prize for the winner. the real prize is our community park which will make everyone a . winner. We hope everyone will get behind this worthwhile development." Project Chairman Peter Warner says he has a number of tickets sold already. "Several people have told me they like the 1 200 odds to win, because they're discouraged by the 1 50.000 chances of the big draws -. - -The Lions recognize that not everyone can afford to shell out $100. but most peo- ple will want to contribute in some way." said Warner. "One of the solutions is that five people with $20 each can' get together to buy one ticket Or a person can -provide a number of post- dated cheques to spread the cost over several months." • The draw will be made June 1 at the club's annual -ladies night • NIMMIEL_ESTIMATES GRAND BEND DECORATING ti`'`L�n l and FLOORING CENTRE 15 Main St. 238-8603 • Seniors hold festive party Rev. & Mrs. H.
