The prize for the most - dressed -alike couple went to Jeff Heibein and Dawn Currie, while Denny Scott and Andy Overholt were awarded for dressing in red. The Branch helpers for the evening By Betty Graber Watson Call 887-9231 Another year of Valentines is over. I hope you had contact with the loves in your life and know you are loved. Having a birthday on Valentine's Day makes it pretty safe it is not forgotten. I share the day with brother Clif, who was born five years after me. Over the years, that meant some good parties. When we were young, mom would check to see who wanted a round cake and who was for a square one. I can't imagine it caused much arguing, but it was one of our first lessons in compromise. At meal time, a Valentine cake appeared, ready to eat when the round one was halved and placed on two sides of the square and well -iced, two Valentine's babes were happy. The celebration for the Leo Club's fifth anniversary will be past, being held on Monday. For young people entertain included Sandra Josling Brown, Judy Lee, Jo -Ann McDonald and Nanci Ducharme. It was nice to see Comrade Deb Ross out and about after her knee surgery. Comrade Dianne Huether had her knee surgery in London last week and we hope she is coming along well. Comrade Mark Campbell is in a Guelph hospital and we hope they are having success in conquering his health issues. Get better all! Congratulations to Comrades Ron and Daisy Schimdt, Tyler Verbeek, Ryan Shaw and Jason Colgate on their success at district singles, doubles and team darts in Lucknow on Saturday. Comrade Ron captures the singles title and Comrades Daisy, Tyler, Jason and Ryan captured second in team competition. The Comrades will advance to provincial competition in Thamesville in the spring. Great job all! The Sunday night dance had 60 people attending and enjoying the music of the Tri -Country Band. We welcomed Linda Bird to work the door, Deb Cann the bar, and Jo -Ann, Judy and Mabel Glanville in the kitchen. The Legion is going to benefit from a venture by one of its Comrades. Comrade Sandra Josling Brown is going to be making homemade soups for a cause. The 13 varieties of frozen soups will be available through the Legion and can be ordered at the Legion or by calling Comrade Sandra. The Legion will receive part of each sale to go towards veteran's programs, youth programs and the building fund. There are broth soups, cream soups and seasonal soups, gluten- free and spicy varieties in 16- and 32 -ounce in x -free vacuum -sealed bags. Call today if interested in discussing options. Comrade President Jamie Mitchell attended the full spring council meeting on Sunday afternoon at Branch 109 in Goderich. Comrade Jamie reports he is learning new things every meeting about the Legion. working alongside adults, then leading the way to change is a valuable lesson. Already the Leos have improved our community in many ways. Any organization that sees community above personal interest is good learning ground in seeing the diversity of an area more clearly. It did my heart good to see the Leo Club come to life again; both Chris and Curt have good memories of work accomplished as Leos, relationships made with Lions members and events remembered. So keep up the good work; it's very worthwhile learning through experience. We have arrived at the season of Lent — beginning on Ash Wednesday, which happened to be Valentine's Day and over the days set out for Lent, we will arrive at Easter Sunday on April Fool's Day. Now think about that with a smile for a bit. Spring might be coming, when you're peering out the back door to a field full of fog, but then a snow machine is part of the picture. Who knows? We celebrated 50 years of our beautiful red and white flag this past week. I hope you enjoyed Family Day/Heritage Day with the long weekend. Bye now, Betty G.W.
