J Cornrnunity support for show is disappointing LUCAN - Organizers of the Lu - can Home and Garden Show are asking area residents for feedback after a disappointing turnout on the weekend. Wayne Pryce, president of the Lucan and area Optimist Club, said he was pleased with the support of local exhibitors who were part of the more than 40 displays, but he is at a loss to explain why community residents weren't as involved. "We support more than a thou- sand kids in and around Lucan who are involved in baseball, figure skating and minor hockey." The Optimists, he said, expected many of the parents to come out to the show. Money raised from the three-day event will go towards the Elm Street Project - the building of a picnic pavilion, washrooms and storage space for equipment at the park. "We want to build the park up," be said. of:iite three-year o o- ject. They also want to provide new play equipment and eventually a basketball court, but enough reve- nue has to be raised before this can occur. "Last year the garden show had to compete with the London Air Show so there was a reason for low attendance." But this year, Pryce said, he doesn't think timing played that big of a factor. This is only the second year for the garden show, he said, so they are expecting to have some grow- ing pains. That's why the organizers want.some input. "We know it's a great fundraising event, we just need more communi- ty support," Pryce said. ` This coming Saturday, the Opti- -mists are hosting a bike rodeo for local students in Grade 1 through Grade 8. The rodeo is free as are the prizes. "This is another example of how we spend the money back into the w cornmunit r.. fAcaasid.

Planning a funeral is among the most individual of arrange- ments you will ever make. No funeral services are exactly the same, or should be; each ceremony reflects the character and life of the person it honors. One way to be sure those arrangements will be carefully con- sidered is to make them in advance. This practice, called Pre -Planning, spares your family from making difficult deci- sions under stressful conditions. When you meet with us 10 Pre -Plan a funeral, all decisions are made in a quiet, unhur- ried atmosphere. We devote our full attention to your needs. You, and your family if you wish, merely sit down with us and decide all the details of funeral services -- in advance, so these decisions won't have to be made hastily. We record your wishes, and you keep a copy in a sale place. Mat's all there is to it. We are here to offer our experise and advice on these very personal matters.
