Women enjoyed dessert and refresh- ments and then Elly Van Bergen wel- comed everyone and told a few humor- ous jokes. Van Bergen then introduced the "Varna Idol" to everyone. Varna Idol #1 was Amanda Taylor playing the piano; #2 Brenda Consitt as Brenda William Hung; #3 Miranda Postill singing; #4 Sjoujke Steenbeek acting as Cam Laurie on the drums; #5 Alyssa Taylor playing the piano; #6 Aleisha Dowson singing; #7 Bonnie Roy and Joan Beierling act- ing as band members from the Seaforth All Girls Marching Band in uniform. Deb Rathwell was acting out Laurie and playing the judge for the night. In between performances, the phone calls were coming in from different family members of Laurie's with problems that she was to fix but she was far too busy judging the Varna Idol. Once again this brought many laughs and lots of memories for Laurie as she and her family are very musically inclined. Robyn Taylor read an address to Laurie; Laurie was the recipient of many beautiful and useful gifts. Laurie thanked everyone very graciously. The Stan Lee Club will meet June 8 at 8 p.m. at the Varna Complex. Note change of date. The Varna United Church Women will meet Thurs., June 2 at the church at 8 p.m. The Five Alive presented the "Faith Story" at the Brucefield church on Sunday which was very well attended. There was lots of music and trumpets. The Five Alive choir sang. Following the dynamic, thought-pro- voking and uplifting presentation, food and fellowship was enjoyed. The Five Alive served a 10th anniver- sary cake as it has been 10 years since the Five Alive (the five churches of Brucefield, Kippen, Varna, Goshen and Bayfield) formed. Happy anniversary to Five Alive. The offering from the service went to Camp Menesetung. Many from the Varna community attended the buck and doe for Mary Ellen Webster and Mark Finlayson on Saturday night in Hensall. Tickets are on sale for the Varna pork BBQ to be held Wed., June 15 so mark your calendar and plan to attend. Church service will be in Varna this Sun., June 5.
