Dashwood community welcome youths
By Bernice Boyle
DASHWOOD - Families from
the whole community gathered at
Calvary United Church Sunday to
welcome back Dan Weigand and
Rob Hoffman.
Four members of the Dashwood-
Seaforth band - Harry Hoffman,
Franz Boogemans, Jack Gaiser and
Sion1ey Haist - played several ap-
propriate selections before the ser-
vice. Brenda Schroeder welcomed
the visitors and members and had
everyone singing "This is the day
that the Lord Hath made".
Dan and Rob came on the plat-
form flying the Canadian flag and
Rob was dressed in Egyptian
clothes.
They told the audience of their
three weeks confinement to "Boot
Camp" in Florida. The early morn-
ing drills, scaling walls, hiking up
rope ladders, other grueling activi-
ties prepared them for their four
weeks in Egypt.
Their duties in Egypt were to
build play ground equipment at a
Christian orphanage.
At a later date, Rob and Dan will
show pictures of their trip so watch
for the date.
