applied to, one of our projects at
this Implementation day. The
letters .stand for Investigate;
Select, Plan, .Participate • and
Evalt�te. It is an especially good
thnique to apply to, money
raising projects. On the topic of
money raising projects, „ ,-ral
new ones were brought orth.
Some of them were: a coat
hanger collection, a car wash, an
apple festival and a pop' bottle

Our guest speaker was Jean

I'm -quite sure everyone
enjoyed the' Santa Parade
Saturday - and thanks,
everyone, for the great day, - 1 .
mean - so many wished real
hard for it that .aur wighes:were
heard - I'm serious!
In every parade or Hallowe'en
Party, the best part of ,the whole
thing is getting ready for it. One
group of young marrieds decided
to bring back the "Old days in
Saltford". About seven or eih'
couples had a great time getting
it . 'together. They were so
enthusiastic about the whole
thing - just an entry -- that
winning a prize has thrown them
for 'a loop. "What do we do
Ill O W?"
Well, you ' can depend bn
them , to come up with
something good to get people
.out for an old fashioned, fun
night every so often -and' I just •
know this is going to be 'another
step up the ladder in putting
Saltford. --back ' on - the map.. For
several years now I have been,'
telling people that Saltford
wasn't dead`- only catching- up
on a much needed rest.
Saltford is definitely showing
a come back. That little spot is
blooming with new homes,- older
homes, all • diddled up and a
general air of well , being
„ beginning"._..to_show
glad..
Good going, folks - and let
me know when you .plan your
first card party or whatever.
Everyone enjoyed the bands
- and we do apiareciate the fact
that most of- them had some
distance to travel.
The little majorettes or..
Cindy's Highsteppers all the.way
from Owen Sound •-- weren'
they just GREAT? And that tin}
one who had to be carried the
last few yards - wasn't she center
`.`Cindy", deserves a lot of
credit and a big ,vote of thanks
for such a great group. Just
think what they will be like 5 or °
10 years from now -
TERRIFIC!
How is it no orie has a baton
Cwirling group in Goderich? •We
have the .makings - are we short
of a teacher with the patience of
Job and the stamina to "raise
such a roup?
We Were happy to see the
Bluewater- Shriners put in
appearance. They are an asset to
any parade and everyone knows'
the wonderful Work they do and,w,
like to see them so that they can
say a quiet "Thank you." (Our`
old Fire Truck ;looked grPat).
' This is one thing that was
'mentioned -- people just didn't
clap ,for outstanding efforts or
for representatives of groups who just put in an appearance. It
gave the feeling' of "Well, what'
comes next - something must
:.be better than THAT!" But how --
do you , educate people or,
crowds - One or two feel silly
clapping for something they
realize is good so they just keep
silent. Perhaps if they had been
brave enough to start others
would have joined thein.
It was too bad there were not
more prizes for_ the individual
efforts. The ' girls with their
ponies deserved their prizes but
it -left nothing for the walking
people and 1 thought the Angel
- little Mary Clairmont - was a
nice touch. The Beta Sigma Phi
girls were crowd pleasers - and a '
big "Thank you" to them"
