Optimists finalize student exchange
The Seaforth Optimist Club members
have had a busy time lately and it appears
they're going to be getting even busier.
The Travel the World wine and cheese
party was a big success with over 60 door
prizes awarded, Bob Nash from Seaforth
won the early bird draw of $300; Bill Pinder
won the draw for $100; and the $50 draws
went to Shirley Dinsmore and Bob O'Brien.
It is hoped this will become an annual event
in conjunction with the Travel the World
draw.
As reported in last week's paper the canoe
races drew a good crowd to watch as 22
boats travelled the Bayfield River. Because
of a new class "solo" and the low number of
entries, the club lost about $60 on the races
themselves, but did manage to offset this
with the return of the chefs and a great
breakfast cooked at the Van Egmond house.
Special thank yous go to the Van Egmond
Foundation for the use of their facilities and
the help of their members. A $50 donation
will be made to the foundation on behalf of
the Optimist Club. Also thanks to the U.A.P.
store for the. use of their window in pro-
moting the canoe draw and race; the Fire
Department for use of their van and
Seaforth Optimist Club's help in acquiring
draw tickets.
Discussion took place on this year's Mardi
Gras to be held May 27. This year will see a
barbecue added as the club feels it's time to
expand to include all ages and groups.
