Grand Bend and area Chamber of Commerce have scheduled their yearly fund- raising Bugerfest bash for June 15, 16 and 17 this year. The date was decided at their January meeting, held Monday. Burgerfest is the prime money -raising project of the group. Funds are also raised through membership fees and it was decided to raise fees to members from $50 to $60 this year. There are over 100 members in the group. Almost all of the profit which came from Burgerfest last year was spent to cover the expenses of Sandcastle Days in August. Membership fees came close to covering expenses for tourist promo- tion. Deficit in last year's operation was a little over $4,000. The committee, in charge of bicentennial celebrations, is headed by Beverley Har- wood. The committee is look- ing for ideas from members of the community. Michael Cavanaugh, area coordinator for the event will speak to the group at the February 13 general meeting. There was a decision to ask for tenders for a new billboard sign to be placed near the new town hall. It will list community activities and service club events. Leo Morningstar, manager of the old Village Inn, in Grand Bend and, who is now manager of the Stratford Visitors and Convention Bureau and Sally Forrester, manager of the Stratford Chamber of Commerce, spoke to the group and ex- plained promotional tactics for Stratford. United Church Women The afternoon unit of the UCW met Thursday afternoon in the S.S. rooms of the church with 27 in attendance. Th'e meeting opened with a worship service on New Year's theme, by Annie Morenz. A poem titled "A New Years Prayer" was read. The scripture was read by Millie Kane. Two hymns were sung accompanied by Nola Love at piano. Mrs. Morenz read a story "The Station" by Robert J. Hastings and closed with prayer. President Elizabeth Norris chaired the business. Several thank you notes were read by Christmas baskets delivered. Roll call was answered by suggestions for 1984 pro- grams. A treasurer report was given. Beulah Holt presented the budget for 1984.

A portion was that as we look ahead to the New Year let's make a resolution and pro- mise to God, that we will move out into the field of ser- vice and whenever opportuni- ty arises to share our faith with others. Mrs. Norris closed with prayer. Lunch hostesses to- day were: Hazel Broad, Nor- ma Carey, Beulah Holt and Laura Flewelling. We welcomed a new lady to our group today, Mrs. Mary Forman, from Warwickshire England, who has only been in Canada for five weeks. Mary and her husband Allan, sons David and Andrew and daughter Caroline, are presently living in Bayview subdivision until they take -possession of their land and begin farming. Mary said they are finding the weather very cold, adjustments to make and homesickness to cope with. Bible coffee hour Fourteen ladies were out to the Community Bible coffee hour, Tuesday morning, at Mrs. Nita Sinclair's home in Southcott Pines. Mrs. Sinclair opened with prayer, followed with a hymn sing led by Millie Desjardine. Gwen Campbell led the lesson, from the book "Let- ters to people in trouble," and 1 and 2 Peter on the chapter, "How to handle scoffers," with scripture from 2 Peter 3:1-7. Some questions studied were about what sort of peo- ple does Peter warn Chris- tians in verses 3 and 4? What rationalization do these scof- fers use? What arethey coun- ting on? What are they denying? Some scoffers deny that Jesus will come again, they have undesirable selfish desires, and their eyes are blinded spiritually. Scoffers are hardened to the truth - some know better but have lost their way. We all have trials within and without and the remedy is to know God better. Meeting will be same place and time 9:30 a.m. next • week. Anglican church On this second Sunday after Epiphany, Rev. J. Sutton chose as his text John 1:34. "I have seen and born witness that this is the Son of God." During this season, we will look at statements of how God was seen in past and of how Christ was shown to people. We must now look at the present - how are • we manifesting Christ as the Son of God in this place and at this time? We must accept the challenge of showing ow -selves to be God's people in every moment of our lives. Coffee hostesses were Irene Brock and Elizabeth Brownlee. The annual meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 18 preceded by -a pot luck supper at 6:30. United Church The sacrament of holy com- munion was observed, Sun- day. Rev. R. Peebles sermon was on "Hosea's Message," taken from Hosea 4:1-12 and Romans 5:1-11. Rev. Peebles said that the prophet Hosea warned people that the end results of sin and disobe- dience and although God punishes us, He still loves us. The choir sang "These Ho- ly Things." The children's story was on one of Jesus' parables about sowing seed. Seeds grow on good ground and seeds grow in our hearts that God plants. We must get rid of weeds in grain and bad thoughts and deeds. The annual congregation meeting will be on Tuesday, January 24, preceded by a potluck supper at 6:30. Catholic Church The weekend masses were celebrated by Father Prieur of St. Peters seminary in Lon- don. His sermon was based on ' the gospel story of Christ's baptism by John, who bore witness to Jesus as the Messiah. We too can be call- ed upon to be witnesses in our lives - e.g. at the scene of an Local artists unite for bonus concert A group of local musicians and photographers will be presenting a bonus concert in Bayfield and Grand Bend as part of the 1983-84 Youth and Music concert series.

County Planner Bill Hollo commented that the property standards bylaw of the village could enforce pro- per maintenance of the land in question. At the meeting, another bylaw was changed. It was .found that in some plans in the village there was not enough road allowance nor lot areas to enforce certain set- backs. The planning bylaw re- quests a set -back of 10 metres from the centre road line to allow for a 66 -foot road allowance. It was explained that in some places in the village,' owners' property lines allow for very much nar- rower road allowances. Also changed was a rear - yard set -back, which had been set at 7.6 metres. This was changed to 6 metres to allow a building to be erected in accordance with other pro- visions of the bylaw.
