WI district picnic
in Grand Bend
GRAND BEND —
Always buy a good pair of
shoes. If you're not in
one you're in the other.
Sarah Geoffrey of Wuerth
Shoes was guest speaker
at the June Grand Bend
Women's Institute meet-
ing. The ladies learned
that we should have the
right support and right
shoes for our feet. We
should always find the
right shoe for our needs.
Our feet change during
our life time. The foot is
a complex area and con-
tains 1/4 of the body's
bones. The feet reflect
our general health and
we should always wear
something on our feet.
The shoe should have a
wide base for support.
Cotton socks trap mois-
ture near the foot which
is not good. Sarah was
thanked for her informa-
tive information.

upcoming events

meeting president Cass
Lovie told us that the

jects of the Grand Bend
Women's Institute. The

Hensall's Art Show
and Sale July 12-18
HENSALL — hensall.by.design Art Show and Sale is
gearing up for its fifth year — held July 12 - 18. This
non-profit event was initiated to boost Hensall's profile
in the area, develop a sense of pride in the community

lighting at the church to improve the art display itself.

than 75 artists from around Ontario and the United
States since it started. The art has been professionally
displayed and has received enthusiastic reviews from
everyone involved - participating artists, judges and

gories, thanks to generous donations from local busi-
ness and private individuals.

We'll take away your
old fridge for free*
That old, inefficient second fridge of yours is wasting up to $150 per year in electricity.
We'll come pick it up for FREE* - we'll even haul it out of your basement for you. Then
we'll take care of it in an environmentally responsible manner. When we're finished
recycling and reclaiming material, all that's left for the landfill will just about fit inside
a cowboy hat!

We'll install a switch that will allow us to cycle down your air conditioning temporarily
during peak electricity demand periods this summer.We'll only do it when it's absolutely
necessary to reduce the strain on the system.Your fan can continue running to circulate air
and the temperature in your home will only change slightly, so you should hardly even notice a
difference.You'll be helping your community save electricity - and that means you'll also help the
environment. Plus you'll end up with a cool $25.*
