It was decided ,that Church will not be closing There have been many misconceptions in the Community regarding the Vanastra Christian Church and one of them is that the Church is to be closed. This is not so. In fact there is a new committee already formed and a new program is underway. The Sunday Service will still commence at 10 a.m. and within the next two weeks the "Come Alive” club will hopefully be starting on a weekday evening for the children. The other activities that have always been held at the Church will definitely be allowed to continue and will be encouraged by the committee.

INM$Wore Survey results conwkted On September 27, Mrs. Nancy Anstett of t.40 Vanastra Resource Centre (Huron Info/74 ma'tiOn and Multi Service Centre) asked members from the clubs in Vanastra, .Community AssociatiOn-, Block Parents, Guiding and Scouting leaders, Lions and Lioness, to attend a meeting to deliver the results of a 'survey she had done on Vanastra. The Vanastra Resource Centre received a grant from the secretary of state to do a survey of Vanastra to develop community spirit and awareness in Vanastra. Nancy started working on the survey in April 1979. When asking advice on __how she should go about presenting this information, she was advised to present it to members of the com- munity who are already involved in community work. Mr. Hank Bonte-Gelok, who is a member of both the Lions Club and" the Community Association, was chairman of the meeting. This was done because of Nancy's feeling that because she is not a member of the community she should have no say in our opinions. Nancy showed us charts on the results of her survey -She also had results from interviews with 14 of • our businessmen, Mr. John Ross, principal of Vanastra Public School; Mrs. Diane Durnin Vanastra Tuckersmith Recreation Centre director; and Mr. Jack McLachlan, clerk- for Tuckersmith township. She also hada set of slides to show us pictures of the business and residential sections of Vanastra. There were also slides of the Recreation Centre, the Adventure Playground and some of the fair and parade. The presentation over, we were divided into groups of 4 or 5 to discuss the impact of the survey and ways to improve our image. This done, each group then gave their ideas on how to improve our image and how to get our community working together. This WaS""d'f§cussed in great detail, and Mr. Ross pointed out to us that feelings about Vanastra have been here long before our coming, since World War II, when this community started as an air base. It is up to us as a community to improve on those feelings. It was agreed by all that this meeting should be held again and invite the - rest of our. com- munity, a representative of the Secretary of States office,the businessmen and a representative of Tuckersmith Township Council. It was a very good presentation, and Nancy should be congratulated on a job well done. Sc' when it is- time for the rest of the community to see the results of the survey we hope to see all our neighbours out on Oct. 15. Watch this column for more in- formation.
