It was held in the Lakeshore Room at the Oakwood Inn with all board members and their spouses in atten- dance. Out -going president Rev. Jim Sutton charred the meeting. He emphasized the purposes of the corporation: to provide moderate priced housing for seniors from the GB area ; and to encourage local area people who could no longer care for their homes, to live longer in their own community. Rev. Sutton was encouraged that the Corporation was able to supply geared -to -income housing for 'a number of individuals in excess of the number set as a minimum by Canada Mortgage and Housing for such projects. He also announced that the tenants had been successful in attaining a New Horizons Grant for their activi- ty requirements. The Association has been active in a number of areas, in- cluding donating a quilt for the Huron Country Playhouse Auction and assisting with a glaucoma clinic, as well as providing support for each other.

United Church Members of the Grand Bend United Church were greeted by Mr. and Mrs. Elgin Hendrick, and Karen McKay and Sarah Patterson ushered them in- to their seats. Then Thomas William Love, infant son of John and Joan Love was presented for baptism. Scriptures were read . by Clark Adams. The choir's special number was "In Christ There is No East or West." In the children's story Rev. Peebles stressed the point that true happiness doesn't come from money and material possessions, but from know- ing and doing as Jesus wishes us to do. Rev. Peebles' sermon topic was "Facing the Challenge", based on Matthew 4, which tells of the tempata- tions of Jesus in the desert. As in the time of Adam and Eve, Satan is still Using the same strategy of casting doubt on God's word. As he tried with Jesus, he still tries to cast doubt on Divine protection, provision and pro- mises, to mislead us as Christians and turn us away from serving Christ. Be steadfast. United Church Women The Grand Bend United Church , Women held their June meeting Wednesday afternoon, with a picnic lunch in the Sunday school rooms, due to the weather. After the delicious meal, Rev. Peebles led a hymn sing, accompanied by Nola Love at the piano. Doris Peebles conducted the wor- ship, opening with a poem, "A Walk with God," followed by portions of scripture from Psalm 92. In her devo- tional talk, she used the symbol of the palm tree, found on nearly every con- tinent. This palm tree, which pro- duces many valuable products for mankind (coconut milk, cords, door- mats from fiber, starches and oils), is the symbol of victory for all mankind. An interesting word contest was en- joyed, figuring out scrambled -word trees from the bible. Roll call was answeer�eed by 23 ladies, who had to remetifber what Jesus said about flowers, or to tell something about the early life of their lunch partner.
