Members Marsha Lemon and Bruce Woodley expressed excitement about (his proposal, stressing that maybe' the Exeter swim program could then be cancelled. "There's no need for us to support two programs" said Lemon. New member Lynn Desjardine sug- gested that GB retain the Exeter pro- gram, while (his new one is being tested this first year. She said that the Exeter program is very well organiz- ed. accommodates about 40-50 children only; and is -self-sufficient. The money left over from last year was donated to the beach cleaner fund. • Grand Bend and district news Lynne Desjardine - 238-878$ Rohr& la Walker - ,•38 2171 "This new proposal may only last two years, then we have to start all over again with Exeter. It's not fair to -quit with Exeter until we have the security of a swimprogram in Grand Bend", she added. Reidy may only stay in Grand Bend for a short term, making it very difficult to start another program from scratch". Tony Mennen agreed with Desjar- dine to leave both programs this slim- mer, until Reidy has established his classes. It was decided that before the proposal was put before council, organizers Pauline Lingard and San- dy Stanlake would be informed to ob- tain their feelings about the Exeter swim bus program. Roxanne Johnson and Joanne Pickering approached the rec com- mittee to obtain their permission to use the parking lot for fund-raising. Roxanne told the members that they are organizing a new ladies slo' pitch team. The team needs everything to start up, $100.00 for lights at the ball diamond, umpires for each game and new uniforms, just to name a few ex- penses, she said. It was proposed that 25 per cent of their revenues from parking would be returned to the rec committee. The May 16 weekend was suggested, with Burgerfest weekend the alternate. Members endorsed this proposal unanimously. ower that protects All season long SPECIAL AWARDS — Sue and Brian Pearen a Grand_Bend couple, -—were-the first co=winners of the RM Dutch Decker merit award for London basketball officials.
