The Citizen, 2002-01-09, Page 3Nirmal Bhotoia of Listowel was the Grand Prize winner in the third annu- al Blyth Bulldogs WIN! WIN! Sweepstakes held Christmas Day. Bhotoia had the option of a new 2002 pickup in the brand of his choice — or $35,000 cash. He chose cash. "This was our best year yet! said Dwight Chalmers, one of the Sweepstakes organizers. "Over 90 per cent of the tickets were sold." , The WIN! WIN! Sweepstakes was established as a fundraising activity for renovations needed at the Blyth and District Community Centre. To date, the Sweepstakes has raised over $50,000. "From the beginning, the plan has been the same: run the Sweepstakes five years, or until we have raised at least $100,000 which will be donated to the arena project", said Todd ?%4 192 .APOTHEEARY As a full-service pharmacy we provide: 1.

Thirty,-three diners sat down to a delicious scalloped potatoes and ham dinner served by volunteers. Draws for a door prize and 50/50 took place, then everyone enjoyed playing bingo. The Diners' Valentine Party will be held on Feb. 1 with Gail Lewis from Nikken Magnets as guest speaker. New diners are welcome.

Blyth United Church welcomed their new supply minister Rev. Dr. Eugen Bannerman from Stratford. Margaret Kai was guest church musi- cian. Rev. Bannerman's message to the children was "Who can fly the high- est?" He told the story of an eagle that thought he flew the highest but there was a little wren that got a ride on the back of the eagle, then flew a little higher than the eagle. His message to the adults was Mud and Stars. The story was of two men sitting in prison. One sees mud, the other sees stars. Plant seeds where you find yourself, and bloom where you are planted, Rev. Bannerman said. FROM BLYTH 1 3 p Aerobics • If you want to shape up, join 02 aerobics in Blyth.
