FROM BLYTH
Kathy Corner v
On Friday, Sept. 1, 46 people
attended the monthly Blyth and area
Dining Out program at Trinity
Anglican Church. This month roast
beef, oven-roasted potatoes, corn
and coleslaw were served topped off
with apple pie. Special guests were
Verna Edgar who brought Everett
Scrimgeour and George Wright from
the Seaforth Manor.
Birthdays were announced for
Hermina Dyk, Elliott Lapp, Edgar
Expressing herself
This youngster took great pleasure in performing as she
participated in a musical theatre exercise called “What are
You Doing?” during the summer recreation classes offered
in Blyth. Those involved had the opportunity to test their
voice, dance, and learn a little acting.
Howatt and Jean Nethery.
Anniversaries this month will be
celebrated by Bill and Isabelle Craig
celebrating their 50th; Elsie and Jim
Walsh and George and Edyth Wright
from Seaforth Manor who will be
celebrating their 64th anniversary.
Happy Birthday and happy anniver
sary were sung.
Doris Hicks was the winner in the
monthly 50/50 draw while Verna
Edgar received the door prize.
Unfortunately the guest speaker
RCMP Renzo Canniato from
London was unable to attend due to
neck problems. It is said that every
thing happens for a reason and sure
enough, this was proven again. A
few minutes prior to the meal being
served, Janice Henry came in to
make an announcement. The Great
Canadian coach was visiting Blyth.
The beautiful blue bus, highlighted
with war scenes on the outside is
referred to as Number 11-11 “Lest
we Forget”, a tribute to our veterans.
Let us remember their courage,
their dedication and their patriotism.
If we forget too soon, in vain, they
will have died, those who lie in
Flanders Fields, where the poppies
grow, row by row.
Blyth Legion Branch 420
President Crystal Taylor and Vice-
President Thelma Johnston handed
out pocket calendars and informa
tion books on this lovely bus, a won
derful tribute? to our veterans.
I spoke with the driver, who told
of a couple who had met on this
vehicle and later were married on it.
Two widows became involved in the
trips to help pass time and are now
the best of friends. Many seniors no
longer drive and so this coach trip
would definitely be enjoyed and is
now available.
For more information on the
Number 11-11 bus call Kitchener
free at 1-800-461-8687 for more
information.
I plan to discuss the possibilities of
our Town and Country Dining
Program taking part in a tour at our
next executive meeting.
After the delicious lunch Millie
Hoggarth had prepared, Ruth Sauve
of Brussels showed a video tape pro
moting the story behind all the
stamps that we use/used. Did you
know that in 1999 there were 70 new
Canadian stamps published? Ruth is
a stamp collector.
The Town and Country
Homemakers will be selling various
ice cream treats again this year at the
Thresher Reunion beginning on
Friday. Please come out and show
your support.
