A Note from Betty
Here’s hoping this grand weather holds out for the plowing match.
It was sure great to go to the Brussels Fair and not be wet and cold. Fairs
in this area maintain tradition at its best. It is very reassuring to know that
some things do stay the same, candy apples, cotton candy, scary rides, good
pie, wonderful exhibits and games of chance; all these things say “Fair” and
are part of all our memories. I hope you made another good memory this
year.
The Terry Fox dream continued on Sunday with many supporters in
Brussels and hundreds of other communities giving their time and effort to
decrease the dread that comes with the cancer diagnosis. The spirit of the
day keeps the dream of cure alive. Great work.
James Murray has departed our community for Montreal. We’ll miss you
but hope the folks of Quebec appreciate your gifts to the United Church.
Bon jour James.
If you have any county influence give them a nudge about the 9-1-I
situation. It’s long past due.
In the meantime go to your phone and make sure your emergency names
and numbers are current, your present doctor's name and number with the
appropriate ambulance number. As well you need the location of your home
and that phone number. The names and numbers of folk who need to be told
of a problem should be on this sheet as well. So please do that today.
Enjoy these last few days of September.
Bye now,
Betty G.

Congratulations are in order! All
members of Branch 218 Brussels
send our best wishes and
congratulations to Katie Harrison
who was crowned Ambassador of
the Brussels Fall Fair. Katie is the
daughter of John and Julie
Harrison, and was sponsored by the
Brussels Legion.
An enjoyable evening was
capped off by the winning ticket of
the Legion’s Elimination draw
being drawn. The winner was Herb
Traviss of Seaforth. He was a
member of the Brussels Branch for
many years, a past president and
executive member, until he moved
to Seaforth and is now a member
there. He was unable to attend on
Saturday so he missed
wonderful fish fry with all
salads and great desserts.
Over 100 people did enjoy
meal and the
entertainment. The Legion men put
on an interesting fashion show of
women’s fashion. There were many
unusual outfits, but they were worn
with style.
Not to be outdone the women of
the Legion put on an informative
little skit "On the Bus”.
As you read this, we are in the
middle of celebrating Legion
