(photo/Mary Simmons) Queensway will host Octoberfest party HENSALL - Oct. 3 family and friends visited Queensway to enjoy Thanksgiving meals with their loved ones. The beautiful, sunny fall weather provided great driving conditions for those travelling from a dis- tance. After consultation with both residents and their fami- lies a few years ago, the decision was made to schedule the holiday family meal at Thanksgiving rather than Christmas. Everyone has found it to be a very positive change to not worry about the weather or flu season. Family will be welcome Sat., Dec. 18 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. for the resident Christmas party with John and Geneva Heaman. At any other time families are wel- come to call and book a time to dine with their loved ones. Ministers providing worship services recently were Pastor Elly Van Bergen on Sept. 28 and Pastor Fred Darke Oct. 5. Pastor Darke assisted by Marg Cole administered communion at the Oct. 5 service. Gladys Van Egmond provided a lively evening of music in the retirement home lounge Oct. 1 as she played familiar tunes on the piano with residents singing along to many of them. The Gospel Singers (formerly the Christian Reform Singers) are back for the season, singing the first Tuesday evening of each month. Queensway volunteer auxiliary met Oct. 5 and pre- viewed the October calendar. Several were thanked for their assistance with the family Thanksgiving dinners. Throughout the past two weeks residents benefitted from breakfast group, manicures, coffee and current events, pet therapy, massage, music therapy, and exer- cises. Coming events Thurs., Oct. 14 at 6 p.m.: Senior Diners; Fri., Oct. 15 at 7 p.m.: Friendship Friday with Harvey Smith and Friends; dSat., Oct. 23 at 2 p.m.: Octoberfest Party with The Merrymakers. Company truck damaged EXETER — On Oct. 4 at 11 a.m. the OPP was alerted to damage done to a truck while sitting in a municipal parking lot behind Best Computers on William Street in Exeter. Someone parked a five -ton company truck in the lot and sometime over the weekend someone sprayed black paint on the vehicle. The side of the truck had a five -leaf marihuana leaf, the number 420 and `let's rock' painted on it. The actual cost of the repairs is unknown. If you can help police solve this crime, call the local OPP or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477(TIPS). By Mary Simmons TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF EXETER — There will be something to appeal to anyone's tastes at the second annual Time, Talent and Treasure Auction at the South Huron Rec Centre Oct. 15. The event, which is planned by the Community Living -South Huron Auxiliary, will see 100 per cent of the proceeds going to the clients for their needs and extras. Throughout September members of the auxiliary, which is made up mainly of friends and family of the clients, have been canvassing the area for donations. "We have been overwhelmed with the generosity shown to the project," Donna Greb said. "We received more than we ever dreamt." Among the items to be featured are a framed Edmonton Oilers home jersey signed by Wayne Gretzky with a certificate of authenticity, a hockey stick Muskoka chair signed by Walter Gretzky, a signed Wayne Gretzky print, accommodations for two to four people to enjoy a week-long trip to anywhere in the world and an encased baseball signed by players, including Joe Carter. For a full list of items drop by the rec centre at 4 p.m. for viewing. The silent and live auction will begin at 5:30 p.m. with the help of auctioneers Bob Heywood and Anne and Brad Mousseau. According to Greb, there have been twice as many donations this year and the goal is to raise $16,000. Last year's total was approximately $12,000. Barb Consitt said it was easier this year to approach people for donations since they were already aware of last year's successful event. Greb and Consitt want to thank everyone who has supported the event with their time, services and donations. The food booth will be operated by the ARC kitchen staff. She added the auxiliary, which has more than 70 members, has been having a good time preparing for the event.
