Volunteer day at museum GRAND BEND - The Lambton Heritage Museum is planning a volunteer day for Thursday April 20 from 1 to 3 p.m. The day is planned as a welcome for new vol- unteers, as well as a chance to thank those individuals in the com- munity who give so freely of their time to help the museum mount its schedule of events and exhibits. For those with time and interest To volunteer a few days per month, this is the chance to have a behind the scenes tour of the museum and hear firsthand from the staff and several longstanding volunteers about the type of projects with which you might become involved. The activities span from restoring antique furniture, to engine repairs, demonstrating a pioneer craft activi- ty such as broom -making, or serv- ing as hostess in the pioneer home. In all cases, the museum staff or another volunteer will •be prepared to train and orient new volunteers to their arca of interest. Museum volunteers are especially important during the busy event • schedule of ten theme weekends which the museum offers. On these days, the museum hosts up to 3,000 visitors per day, requiring volunteers at the front desk as -re- ceptionists, showing people quilts for sale, or working as part of a crew in the hotdog booth. In one weekend last year, volunteers cleared $2000 revenue for the mu- seum with food sales. Come out and get involved with your heritage at the Lambton Heri- tage Museum!

The evening will begin at 7:30. Patrons will have half an hour to tour an art show featuring works by past and present students of SHDHS. Art department head Su- zanne Maple and art teacher Laura Browne expect to have about 60. exhibits in the Showcase. The SHDHS concert band under the direction of music teacher Bob Robilliard will provide a diverse musical background, performing pieces from Bach to twentieth cen- tury composer Swearingen. Beverages will be set out for browsers as they tour the art gal- lery. The art exhibit will lead directly to the cabaret -style seating. Tables for four or five - the back tables raised - will be arranged in a horse- shoe around the performance area. At 8:00 p.m., the music depart- ment will move to centre stage. The Beat Goes On, a sometimes ir- reverent look at choral music through the ages, will feature 25 student and staff vocalists in solos, ducts and choirs. During the jour- ney from Bach to the Beatles, some numbers will be unaccompanied, some backed up by the 12 -member band, and others joined by the full 45 -piece concert band. The third segment, Sometimes 1 Wake Up in the Middle of the Night, involves eight theatre art students performing excerpts from a collection of monologues writ- ten by pupils of the Walden Thea- tre Conservatory in Woodstock, Il- linois. Students' perceptions of love, parents, loneliness and death arc explored in ways that are some- times funny, sometimes sad, some- times disturbing, but always real. Dramatic arts teacher Beth Jantzi is certain this portion will hold special appeal for both young peo- ple and thcir parents. Refreshments will be served at the tables at intermission. SHDHS English teacher John Hindley, Showcase '89 coordinator, just smiles enigmatically when pressed for more details. He will only promise something a bit above the ordinary, to complement the Night - beat theme. A 40 -minute Salute to Broadway will bring the evening to a close. A troupe of 70 talented people from both the school and the surrounding community, ranging in age from five to over 40, will sing and dance in a variety of selections from such famous hits as New York, New York and Dirty Dancing. - The spectacular costumes should make the numbers from Cats a highlight of this section of Show- case '89, according to director Debbi Homuth. Routines originally associated with Michael Jackson and Sharon, Lots and Bram will be performed by a group of five -to -12 -year-olds. Some of the music will be taped, and some will be provided by the SHDHS orchestra. So come on out for a great even- ing of entertainment. Tickets go on sale at the SHDHS office on April 24.

PITCH -IN takes place across the province and in other parts of Cana- da during the week of May 1-7 and hundreds of thousands of volunteers are expected to participate. "Keeping the environment clean is most important. Our clean-up will help to impress on our girls the amount of litter which can accu- mulate" states Sue Robinson, add- ing "even though cleaning up is important, educating people not to deface the environment is even more important." This is the first year during which the Kirkton Guiding Move- ment will participate in Pitch -In. In previous years the girls cleaned up thcir meeting place only, but since this is an ever increasing problems, we decided to expand our pick up area. /tM MAKE A DIFFERENCE _ TROY-BILT° Roto Ti//ers • Rear tines, powered wheels! • So easy, you guide it with JUST ONE HAND®! • Models sized for every garden!
