We would like to thank Doreen, Jack • and Taylor Mali for donating the tree to the centre. It is greatly appreciated. On Tuesday of this week Sacred Heart School enter- tained with a Christmas pro - gra m . On Dec. 10 Turnberry Central School .performed. with its ukelele band. On Dec. 11 the Wingham Public School is coming down for a Christmas program. For those who read the paper on Dec. 10, come in and join us at 11:30 a.m., Dec. 11, for the public school's presentation. In total about 120 children were at the centre this week and it certainly was a pleasure to have them. Their community input to"our pro- gram is very much appre- ciated. On Dec. 4 Jerry Kavanagh, manager of the Standard Trust Co., Wingham, visited the centre to speak on banking. The session. was very enjoyable and edu- cational. .with a lot ,of the seniors asking questions from banking procedures to politics associated with our economy. Opinions were flying. Our Christmas party will be held on Dec. 17 and we will be having all three days' participants in on the same day. If anyone is doing some extra Christmas cooking or baking we would appreciate anything to add to our smorgasbord dinner. Any extra drivers to transport all of our seniors that day, Dec. 17, would .also be ap- preciated. . • You May notice the ad in this paper asking for com- munity 'financial support.

Seniors hold final euchre The Friday afternoon euchre, sponsored by the Seniors' Happy Gang, was held on Dec. 5. This was the last one for the 1980 season and the club will wait to see what tran- spires in 1981. The club did not hold the parties with the idea of making money, but its aim was to provide enter- tainment and an enjoyable time. There were only seven tables, but being the Christmas season that wasn't bad. There were only five prizes given: pink card high, Verena Bone; high white, B. Holmes; most nine of hearts pink card, Rena Fisher; most nine of hearts white card, B. Porter; low score, M. Burbridge. The Happy Gang wishes to thank everyone, especially George Grigg who so capably conducted the euchre. See you next year . • a: our selection of Children's toys • 1
