Students to hold barbecue
By Roberta Walker
GRAND BEND - The income tax
deadline is past, and I hope every-
one got their tax returns in on time.
Everyone also hopes that the gov-
ernment has enough cash left to pay
back all the tax refunds too! Heav-
en knows, we all pay enough extra
through the GST added on to so
many things - even to filing your
income tax form through a tax con-
sultant!
On May 4, from 11 a.m. to 3
p.m., she Grade 7-8 students of
Grand Bend Public School will be
holding a barbecue in the parking
lot at LOEB-IGA. It's a fund raiser
for their annual school trip, so
come out for a great lunch, priced
at $2.00 and prepared by the stu-
dents. They'll be supervised by a
few parents and teachers. Hope it's
good weather so everyone can help
their fund raiser.
John and Joan Love had some
bad luck over the weekend. They
lost their barn and contents in a
fiery conflagration. We hope they
can rebuild soon.
Congratulations to Tom and Es-
ther Desjardine of Grand Bend,
who celebrated their 59th Wedding
Anniversary on Sunday, April 28,
with a family dinner at Sauble
Court.
Thirteen ladies of the Grand
Bend Bible Study Club met at Sau-
ble Court at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday,
April 23. After serving coffee and
enjoying a hymn sing, they contin-
ued the study of James.
From Chapter 2, they learned that
the proof of a genuine faith in Jesus
Christ is seen in active, loving,
helpful deeds and attitudes towards
others. A new member was wel-
comed to the group. The meeting
was closed with prayers for the sick
and shut-ins.
The "Sunshine Fashion Show"
will be held at Southcou Pines
Clubhouse on May 10. The show
will feature men's and ladies fash-
ions from the Grand Bend Sun and
Surf Shops.
Students from South Huron Dis-
trict High School in Exeter have
been busy in final rehearsals for
their annual musical, "Fame", to be
performed from May 8 to 12 at the
Recreation Centre. Several students
have also enjoyed class trips recent-
ly. Mrs. Heatherington's Spanish
students went to Brantford on April
17-19 for a Spanish Immersion ex-
perience. They stayed at App's Mill
Conservation Area, in a Kiwanis
Camp where they only spoke Span-
ish, prepared their own meals in
Spanish cuisine, performed skits
and generally had a good time
learning about another culture.
Over 30 arca students took part.
Another group of Grade 12-13
students took a 16 -hour bus trip
down to Washington, D.C. for an
in-depth tour of the U.S. capitol
city. They saw the White House,
the House of Congress, the Smith-
sonian and all the famous memori-
als - Lincoln, Jefferson, Washing-
ton, Arlington Cemetery, and the
Vietnam War Memorial. A stop at
Williamsburg, Virginia, was also
included on their five day trip; an
interesting and educational experi-
ence.
