The Citizen, 2007-10-04, Page 2The nice days of September are
now past but they certainly were a
pleasure. Puttering outside, bike
rides and lovely walks were like a
gift, a nice treat and a total surprise.
Now if only October…
When children live in other places
and when they are expected to
become part of community the
parents then are offered interesting
opportunities.
On Sunday we were in Barrie to
support their music program. For ten
days many types of professional
music in many varied places are
offered to the lucky people in the
Barrie area.
Their Colours of Music offers
great talent as solo acts or in
interesting combinations. Our venue
was St. Andrew’s Presbyterian
Church to hear the heavenly music
of a clarinet and a Cassevont pipe
organ – ah…
Anyway we’re happy to see Curt
and Julie sharing community and for
inviting us to hear one of the
highlights of the Barrie scene.
Someone needs to remind the wild
turkey of its name. There were four
of them peacefully snacking on an
empty lot just at the outskirts of
Barrie. The city welcome sign was
also in sight so perhaps the turkeys
can read as well.
Another species that has lost part
of its wild. Anyway it was a nice
surprise during the pleasant drive.
I hope you have booked your spot
with the school to support their
fundraiser on Thursday, Oct. 4.
Good food, lots of fun and lots of
energy.
It’s time to get the plans in place
for the weekend. It’s time to share
with family and friends all the
blessings that we daily take for
granted.
So enjoy the love that you share,
and with that seems to come the
need to prepare all the favourite
foods, to really celebrate
Thanksgiving.
Enjoy! Betty G.W.

The general meeting of Brussels
Legion Branch 218 was held on
Tuesday evening with 10 comrades
present.
The usual business was discussed
and a motion was passed to delve
into the issue of making the Branch
wheelchair accessible in the future.
A committee will be formed to study
the issue. Members are welcome to
drop any suggestions into the
branch.
A zone seminar for both veterans’
services and seniors was held at the
Branch on Wednesday evening.
Branch president Jo-Ann McDonald
extended greetings to those in
attendance and attended the
veterans’ services seminar with
Comrade Mabel Glanville. Comrade
Deb Trollope attended the seniors
seminar.
The fish fry crew was off to
Kincardine Legion on Saturday to
feed 150 for the last travelling fry of
the year. The crew included George
Adams, Randy White, Jo-Ann
McDonald, Greg Wilson and Bruce
Raymond.
The Brussels Cadets are still
collecting pop cans and returnable
bottles every Tuesday night. Please
drop them off behind the legion on
Tuesday night for pickup.
They also have cookbooks for
sale. There is a supply at the Branch.
Early birds is what we like and
membership chairman Greg Wilson
hopes everyone can get in and pay
their dues and be early birds. There
are still two draws left to win your
2009 dues, so come on in and save
$5 as well.
The Branch is still saving pop tabs
for wheelchairs and appreciates
everyone’s contributions.
The Friday night suppers will
resume Oct. 12 and the first supper
will be roast pork. Comrades who
could help out once in a while are
asked to call Jo-Ann McDonald.
The craft show is just around the
corner and Linda Bird would
appreciate help from comrades. Give
her a call and offer your assistance.
Happy Thanksgiving to every-
one.
