Important fundraiser for Big Brothers
By Scott Nixon
TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF
EXETER — Big Brothers Big Sisters of
South Huron (BBBSSH) is
gearing up for its major fall
fundraiser and, as board
secretary Laurie
Mackechnie recently told
the Times -Advocate, it's
important for the organiza-
tion that its
"Whodunnit???" mystery
dinner be a success.
"Whodunnit???" will be
held Nov. 16 at South
Huron Rec Centre. In addi-
tion to including a three -course dinner
from Catering By Barbara, the evening
includes an interactive mystery and
entertainment.
Mackechnie said BBBSSH, which
started in 1977, works on a tight
budget and relies heavily on a cou-
ple of fundraisers per year. The
upcoming mystery dinner in Exeter
is the organization's largest fall
fundraiser, with the next major
fundraiser the Bowl for Kids events
in the winter.
BBBSSH receives no government fund-
ing and relies on the community, organi-
zations, businesses and the United Way
for funding.
Mackechnie said the organi-
zation needs to sell a mini-
mum of 100 tickets to its
"Whodunnit???" fundraiser to
be successful.
Mackechnie has been on the
BBBSSH board for nearly two
years and is a former Big
Sister. She said fundraising
has become more difficult
over the last couple of years
because there are more orga-
nizations holding fundraisers and only so
many dollars available in the community.
BBBSSH receives no
government funding
and relies on the
community,
organizations,
businesses and the
United Way for
funding.

VARNA — Wells in Hensall will
soon start to be shut down after a

Stauttner said while the work
was ordered to be completed by

and one observation well will be
kept in service until after the

proved to be secure.

said the evening will be "a lot of fun" and
is presented by a group from London. The
actors, in costume, will mingle with the
guests during the cocktail hour before

will be revealed during dinner. The mys-
tery takes place during the gold rush in
the Klondike.

hour running from 6-7 p.m. The mystery
and dinner start at 7 p.m., with musical
