By Jo-Ann McDonald“At the Going down of the Sunand in the morning, We WillRemember them.”It is the Royal Canadian Legion’s
purpose and duty to remind
Canadians to remember those who
made the ultimate sacrifice for
freedom for all. It is up to every
Canadian to help perpetuate the
memory and deeds of the fallen for
future generations so they too will
know the importance of
Remembrance Day.
We invite everyone to make the
sacrifice of time to attend
Remembrance Day services at any
Royal Canadian Legion or toobserve two minutes of silence andstop what you are doing at 11 a.m.Sunday, Nov. 11 and Remember.Thursday night darts had a good
attendance.

NEWS
FROM BRUSSELS
At the BranchLegion asks public to make time for silence
The hockey crew do their
volunteer hours at motocross to keep
their costs down so now it’s time for
the skating club to do their time.
They would really like to entertain
you on Friday evening or on
Saturday of this week with their
house tour. You’ll have seen their
ads so know where to get your
ticket. Now all you have to do is get
it, right?
The congregation at the United
Church was celebrating 131 years of
worshipping together on Sunday. To
help with the special service the
Harmony Kings of Seaforth, aided
and abetted by our very own Jack,
gave the service a harmonious lift
while Bruce Whitmore told of his
latest United Church adventure.
Our mission and service fund has
a long-standing relationship with
people in Mozambique and Bruce
had a great experience lately seeing
how combined dollars, lots of love
and commitment can make a vital
difference in the lives of others. By
travelling to an area where projects
have been in consultation with the
people affected, Bruce saw and
helped with work that is needed to
maintain a healthy community and
like others before him – life is never
quite the same.
Like all volunteer/community
work, if everyone would share a
little, everyone can have the dignity
that comes with clean water,
housing, education and health care.
Churches do a very efficient job of
getting the most out of your dollar.
When the dollars are combined it’s a
gift that will truly make a difference.
It’s a good place to think about
Christmas giving – a small amount
makes a big difference. Check with
your local church, they probably
have a project that could make you
feel part of the world.
The Business group is gearing up
for Christmas and encourages you to
think and buy locally. As you make
your list and check it twice,
remember that in the weeks before
Christmas there will be prizes
available to reward the Brussels
shoppers. Details will be coming
soon but I think you should be
supporting our stores and you may
just get a gift for yourself to boot.
It’s good to have Bev Brown back
from hospital, hope all continues
well.
Bye now, Betty G.W.
Slipper shopping
