A new room at Community Living - South Huron has been dedicated to the late Connie
Noels, who was a volunteer with both Community Living and Arc Angels. Gord Noels, left,
unveiled the special plaque June 21 and spoke on behalf of his family and his late wife.
"Connie loved this place," he said, adding nothing meant more to her than Community
Living and her daughter, Erin."She'd be very proud of this room," Gord said. Funds for the
room were made possible through donations at an event at the Oakwood Inn in January.
There is also an annual walk in September in Connie's memory.With Noels are his sister

VON Walk moves to new date
MIDDLESEX — 2006 marks
the start of a new century of
caring for VON Middlesex -
Elgin which turned 100 earli-
er this year.
A centennial milestone, a
new logo and a new date are
set for the VON Great
Community Walk, held this
year Aug. 19.
This year the walk will
offer five sites across
Middlesex County: Ailsa
Craig, Dorchester,
Longwoods Conservation
Area, Poplar Hill Park and
Strathroy. Come walk or run
the two, five and 10 km
routes. The goal this year is
to attract 1,000 walkers
across Middlesex, London
and Elgin.
After the walk everyone is
welcome back to Poplar Hill
Park for music, fun and a
free beef barbecue.
Once again, the Middlesex
Cattleman's Association has
donated the beef. Because of
their sponsorship and the
generosity of other sponsors,
the VON guarantees every
pledge dollar raised will go
directly to service delivery in
Middlesex.
The Middlesex Cattleman's
Association (MCA) is a grass-
roots organization that pro-
vides leadership to cattlemen
from all sectors of the indus-
try. Local members include:
Ed Fox (North Middlesex),
George Taylor (Thames
Centre), Bill Lamont
(Southwest Middlesex) and
George Skinner(Strathroy-
Caradoc). It has an increas-
ingly important role as a
commodity lobby organiza-
tion. There is no membership
fee, but cattlemen are
required to pay a checkoff to
the Ontario Cattleman's
Association to fund its pro-
gram and activities. Thirty-
one per cent of the total
checkoff dollars paid to the
OCA are contributed to beef
advertising programs.
Dollars are also spent on
funding research and devel-
opment.
Locally the MCA, has an
annual beef barbecue
fundraiser in Poplar Hill.
With the dollars raised at this
event they support several
charities, including the VON
Great Community Walk.
For more information on a
walk site near you, call 245-
3170.
The VON Great Community Walk will be held at five locations across Middlesex County
Aug. 19. From left are Middlesex Cattleman's Association past president Grant McComb,

ordinator Norma Wright and president of the Middlesex Cattleman's Association Jamie
