"Last year we made $1,000 through fundraising, which is approximately what we had to dig into the investments for," said Mrs. Mutter. As well there was more money spent on prizes and displays, but she added it was money well spent as far as she was concerned. President Allan Cardiff remarked on the success of the midway, say­ ing the gate receipts were good. "There were so many favourable comments we will probably go with the same midway again this year," he said. Homecraft President Lois McCall said the Ladies' Division was pleased with the success and the number of the entries. There were many new people showing exhibits this year, which she felt was a good sign. The food booth made $1,562. Betty Cardiff presented Treasurer Barb Mutter with a gift as she is giving up the position. Melody White has been appointed to fill the vacancy. A motion was made by John McIntosh to hold a fair in 1992. Ralph Watson was unanimously appointed as auditor. Jim Smith questioned why the beef club weren't part of the fair this year, and it was explained that there wasn't enough participants. Betty Johnston agreed that she would like to see the beef club back in Brussels but they need to get more young people interested, before that will happen. It was noted that the Brussels Agricultural Society spring dance will be held on March 21 at the B. M. G. Community Centre. The entertainment will be provided by "The Royal Aires".

The series has been based around the scripture, 11 Chronicles 7: 14 “If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” Pastor Warner and his wife, Andrea, joined the Brussels congre- galion officially by transfer of membership, during the service. Phailop and Manivan Larprom provided special music for the ser­ vice. The Women's group held the monthly meeting on Tuesday evening. Yvonne Dettweiler and Anneke Pardys were in charge of the meeting.
