"We chose an individual last year but we want it known we are encouraging organiza- tions. The Legion has been the heart beat of the village," said organizer Bill Uniac. Grand Bend operates with a network of 43 volunteer groups including council com- mittees and they, along with volunteers such as the Scouts and Meals on Wheels were pub- licly thanked for their efforts. "It's to recognize anyone and everyone in the community who have volunteered their ser- vices," said Uniac. The village council used to host a dinner for the volunteers but stopped that a couple of years ago because it was not enjoyable. "It was Just tow dry. This is a little more homey. We thought it would be nice to have our own country -picnic atmosphere." Among the activities on Saturday were a barbecue, entertainment, baseball games, face painting and the ever popular dunk tank. Grand Bend Mayor Tom Lawson found the water warm as he was dunked several times, left; At right, councillor Ed Fluter puts the finishing touches on Barbara Wheeldon' s face painting. Wheeldon is on the recreation committee and was one of the many volunteers thanked on Saturday. Crimes of the week Tips are sought in two thefts both just outside Exeter.
