World Day .ot Pr-ayer in Grand Bend By Loreen Gill GRAND BEND - The World -Day of Prayer was held at the Grand Bend United Church on Fri- day, March 5 at 2:00 p.m. This in- teresting service had been prepared by seven women from Guatemala, and through it, they were appealing to Christians around the world to unite with them to be people of God and instruments of healing to the suffering masses everywhere. Guatemala is a very poor country in Central America whose people have been suffering from social ills and oppression for centuries. Lucy Sage led the service and was assisted by Hazel Broad, Irene Kennedy and the Grand Cove La- dies' choir, with Idella Gabel at the organ. Participating also were la- dies from Dashwood United, Im- maculate Heart of Mary, St. John's By -the -Like and The Church of God. • Guest speaker, Alma Langford of Exeter, spoke about the immense social ills and "a heap of problems" both at home and abroad. She chal- lenged the ladies to unite with the Guatemalan ladies and become in- struments of healing to the suffer- ing people of the world. She told an interesting story of young school children who with their lit- tle pails, moved a huge pile of sand -to their sandbox. She reminded the audience that, often, the efforts of a single person seem really insignifi- cant but when we all carry "our pails" and work together great things can be accomplished. A so- cial time followed the service. MONDAY Fs.

February 24. The $business was chaired by Guild ;j residdnt Mary Metcalfe. ' Lillian Newton volunteered to :xhair a new "Meet and Greet" hos- --pitality committee. The Guild agreed to act on a proposal from . Artistic Director Max Phymer, to offer welcome information and friendly faces to visitors at the Playhouse. A group of volunteers would take turns, coming about 1 1R hours early for each perfor- mance all season, to serve in that capacity. Metcalfe introduced Bob Tum - bull, Chair of the Building Com- mittee for the Playhouse Board of Directors, as the guest speaker. Turnbull sincerely thanked the Guild members, on behalf of the Playhouse Board for all their dedi- cation, hard work and financial support over the years. He outlined the role of the Build- ing Committee in their 5 -year plan, to supervise the spending and control the building and safety as- pects of this major reconstruction project. The Playhouse is now the third largest summer theatre in On- tario and it still runs "in the black" with an ability to draw talented performers from across Canada for casting calls. Ongoing improve- ments to facilities are now re- quired to reflect the expanding role of the theatre in the community and underscore its commitment to excellence. said Turnbull. The first phase of the building project revolved mainly around fire/safety standards, with a new sprinkler, fire alarm system, fire doors, ramps, and emergency lighting. The second phase in- cludes the demolishing of the orig- inal old barn to build a new Play- house 11, a new rehearsal hall, and better washrooms, kitchen and bar facilities. There are also plans for a new auditorium, all to be built between 1993-1995. The third phase, from 1995 to 1997 calls for new admin- istration offices and renovations to the farmhouse/gift shop, with an ef- fort to keep the rural -barn atmos- phere throughout. Five more acres will be pur- chased at the back for additional parking, including extensive land- scaping and a large country garden. The box office will be complete- ly computerized to handle tickets and reservations, with the assis- tance of a 510,000 donation from the London HCP Guild Founda- tion, which was received on March 4, helping to cover the cost of soft- wares. Steel for a new fly tower has been donated by a major corpo- ration covering 65 percent of the steel required by the architect. Four and a half million dollars have been provided or received from government grants, the Play- house Foundation, corporations, businesses, fund raisers land local donations to cover most of the costs of this huge reconstruction project, demonstrating the kind of committed support the Playhouse' receives these long plans reveal the goal of the Playhouse Board, to produce a first rate year round theatrical facility in our community by the fall of 1996. Turnbull again thanked all those who made it pos- sible. MEATS and DASHWOOD SAUSAGE COMPANY "Home of the Dashwood Sausage" Sides of Pork arab. Loin of -Pork .
