Grand Bend Cubs plant trees
to improve local environment
By Roberta Walker
GRAND BEND - Saturday morn-
ing it was cold and rainy, but that
didn't stop an intrepid group of 11
Cub Scouts and five parents and
leaders from gathering at Larry
Taylor's farm on Highway 21 just
north of Grand Bend.
They were well equipped with
boots, rain slickers, shovels and
pails to plant 300 trees on "Trees
for Canada Day". Several boys
took a few saplings home to plant
on their own property, all part of
improving the environment in our
own community, and as a great
tribute to Earth Day.
The Cubs collected sponsors to
raise funds for scouting programs,
in addition to the reforestation of
farmland.
Volunteer week
April 21-27 is Volunteer Week,
so if someone phones or calls at
your home for donations, please re-
member they are donating their
time and efforts for a worthy cause.
None of our youth clubs, sports or-
ganizations or church groups would
be able to function without the
countless hours donated by dedicat-
ed volunteers.
