Five years planning ends Times -Advocate, November 21, 1984 Page 7A New Scout -Guide hall to open Saturday Five yearsot planning, fund- raising, negotiations and hard work by Lucan Scouting and Guiding will bear fruit Saturday when Ev McCrim- mon, Provincial Commis- sioner for Ontario, Boy Scouts of Canada, and Anne Miller, Trillium Area Commissioner, Girl Guides of Canada, cut the symbolic ribbon to open the "Pow Wow Place" - the new Lucan Scout/Guide Hall. They will be joined by other UCW finalizes Snowflake bazaar "His Name is Wonderful" was the first in Rev. Brown's series of Advent sermons at Lucan United Church Sunday morning. 750 years before Christ's birth, the prophet Isaiah, living in perilous times, saw hope for the world in the person of the coming Messiah whom we celebrate at Christmas as the Christ of Bethlehem. This person would be "the wonderful one", the prophet said. And so Jesus proved to be in every respect. He was wonderful in His miraculous birth at Bethlehem, and still today we discover Him to be wonderful as we allow Him to be born in our hearts. He was wonderful in His life as He demonstrated His compas- sion, power and wisdom in meeting the needs of those around Him. Beth Miller and Ruthanne Curtis formed the welcome committee for the morning. Alden Walker read the Scrip- ture lesson and the choir led the congregation in worship as they sang the lovely an- them, "Nearer still nearer." Flora Robertson had an ob- ject lesson for the boys and girls as she showed them a pair of binoculars and ex- plained that they help bring far away objects close. The Bible is like a pair of binoculars, she told the children, for it brings Jesus close. We can hide it in our hearts by memorizing parts of it, so that even when we do not have a Bible near, its truth will be with us always. Jane Forster and Sue Barr took the children hour for their Junior Congregation time.

Scout and Guide officials, politicians, parents, senior citizens, Lucan Co-op Nursery School organizers and the boys, girls and leaders of the Lucan Scbut/Guide move- ment for a colourful ceremony slated -for 2 p.m. at the site in the Market Square park. In order to thank those who have helped make the hall a reality, the Scouts and Guides are having a pancake and sausage brunch at the building beginning at 11 a.m. All friends of Scouting and Guiding are welcome to at- tend. There is no charge for the meal, but donations will be accepted to help defray costs. The official opening will commence with a colorful flag break and balloon release, followed by short remarks andethe ribbon cut- ting ceremony. A "time cap- sule" containing mementos of the day and the construction of the hall will Mso be filled for later placement in the en- trance foyer. The scheduling committee has completed the task of en- suring that all groups are ac- commodated. No existing group must change meeting times to be housed in the hall. A second Guide company which will be formed by split- ting the current crowded company will meet on Thurs- day nights, starting in the new year. For convenience sake, the St. Patrick's School Beaver 'Colony will continue to meet in the school, but will use the hall for special meetings and activities from time to time. Thanks to the generous response of Lucan and area to the October fundraising blitz, the building committee feels they Will have enough money to complete the building with no long-term finaneial han- dicap. About $6,000 has been raised so far and some return calls have yet to be made. A mail appeal to businesses in the area is now starting to generate generous donations as well. Anyone who was missed by the blitz and would like to help out with the hall, can leave their donation with any leader or at the TD Bank in Lucan or call 227-4006 to ar- range a personal visit and pickup. Along with financial aid, many individuals and businesses have helped enor- mously with donations of time and materials to make the hall a reality. Everyone associated with the hall would like to thank these people as well. It is expected that, had everything been charged at full trade rates, the building , would have cost well over $125,000. While the total cost is not yet firm, it appears that it will be well under $100,000. Principal funding for the project has come from the federal government in the form of $65,000 capital works grant, the Village of Lucan through a donation and use of land, manpower and materials, local service clubs and special interest organiza- tions, individuals and the Scouts and Guides through various fundraising programs along with the October blitz. The public is especially in- vited to attend the opening festivities this Saturday and to see what their support of the Lucan Scouts and Guides has created for the young peo- ple of the community. The building will open for inspec- tion after the 2 p.m. opening ceremony. LUCAN BEAVERS INVESTED - A number of new members were recently invested into the Lucan Beavers Colony.
