Members of the Varna and Goshen communities. joined with: the Nguyen family at the township hall on Friday evening for a potluck supper, carol singing and crokinole party. This. enjoyable evening was planned by the refugee committee, Gordon Hill thanked everyone for helping .sowillingly and graciously whenever there --_was, a need for transportation, , etc, , The Nguyen -fam also expressed their -,ap- preciation. Rev. Wilena Brown took the high prize for ladies in the crokinole gaines, and Mildred McAsh was low. Men's high and low went to Bill Taylor and Darryn McAsh. All of us who are in- volved in any way with the Nguyen family are aware that the people on the committee have been kept very busy in arranging for tran- sportation, helping. them shop for their needs, finding employment for them, and all the other time-consuming duties that have made their transition to our country_ easier. I would like to correct an error of last week. Hiep will still be teaching in Kinkora after the holiday, until the other Erench teacher returns from maternity leave. t Church concert An excellent concert was presented by the Sunday School " students at the hall on Sunday afternoon.
