As is tradition, the AGM will be held at St. Andrew's United Church and those who attend will be treated to an excellent beef dinner served sharply at noon. A selection of door prizes will also be a highlight of the meeting that will conclude with Dineen's presentation. Dineen has long been involved in historical re- enactments and his involvement with various regiments spanning the 1812 era to WW2 led him on the quest to learn about the past of his own father who passed in 1957. He had very little knowledge about the man, and much of that was incorrect. One fact he knew was his father had been a Canadian Airman who parachuted into France on July 8, 1944. Dineen's research took him to Western Canada and France meeting many interesting people along the way and gathering unforgettable stories that he will share at the AGM. Tickets are $20 per person and available now by calling Doug Brown at 519 441-1189.

MAPLE TREE PHOTO CONTEST To help celebrate the 150th anniversary of Canadian confederation, Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) is holding a photo contest this year to feature the maple tree. The maple tree has played a major role in Canada's history and the maple remains a powerful Canadian symbol today. "in my travels throughout our watershed I have seen some fantastic maple trees in farmyards, woodlots, and old fencerows," Jean said. For contest rules visit the trees page at abca.on.ca . You may submit your photo to the contest simply by posting your photo of your favorite maple tree on the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Facebook page or Twitter feed with this hashtag: #Maple150. Or, you could email your entry, with #Maple150 Photo Contest in the subject line, to info@abca.on.ca. To be eligible for the contest, photos should be posted or received by Friday, March 31 at noon. If your tree has a story to tell the conservation authority encourages you to share that as well. The winner of the photo contest will receive a free 200 -centimetre (six -foot -tall) maple tree for planting in April. Jean said that "we hope people will share with us their photos of colorful maple leaves or large, old trees with character, or any maple tree that has a story to tell." 4/15 6/13/2019 Week 04 Issue 394 RASP has assisted 420 children since it started three years ago, including Meredith and her two boys. "I was working two part-time jobs and a variety of shifts," shared Meredith. "There just wasn't enough to cover sports fees and I wanted my kids to be active and included in the community. " RASP gave Meredith's children the opportunity to try out a couple of different activities to see which one best fit, without wasting money and support. She has since shared her positive experience with the staff at the YMCA and how they made her feel empowered. "I do know how stressful and embarrassing asking for financial support can be, but they made the process better. There was no judgment and they were always focused on the kids," Meredith said. The known benefit of sport, arts and recreational activities in children's lives include increased self-esteem and other positive effects on mental health as well as physical improvements to health. United Way Perth -Huron supports close to 50 similar partners across Perth and Huron Counties creating Strong Communities, Helping Kids Be All They Can Be, and assisting people to move from Poverty to Possibility. "As fundraising dollars are behind this year, it is imperative for United Way Perth -Huron to meet our financial goal," said Carolynne Champagne of United Way, "These funds are required for us to continue providing the financial, marketing and advocacy assistance we deliver to our supported partners, enabling these much-needed services to continue benefitting the people in our communities. Please be a part of the solution and donate to the United Way Campaign. You're helping your local community, neighbors, friends and family by doing so."

And how many folks have already broken theirs? I "Googled" what the top resolutions for 2017 were and this is what I found: Get Healthy Get Organized Live Life to the Fullest Learn New Hobbies Spend Less/Save More Travel Read More Not an unreasonable list of goals for anyone to shoot for really. But the "experts" suggest that we not be too hard on ourselves if we break our resolve in fact they suggest we break our goals down into smaller manageable bits to make success more achievable. Sounds like good advice to me and I resolve cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek04lssue394/tabid/814/Default.aspx 14/15 6/13/2019 Week 04 Issue 394 to take it. — Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
