Closer look Sandra Machan, left, and Rene Richmond look at some of the many items on display for the silent auction at Brussels United Church this past weekend. (Vicky Bremner photo) A NOTE FROM BETTY By Graber Watson Call 887-6236 887-9231 Well the drearies are certainly having their way this week, making one seriously think about hauling out the winter clothes. Nothing like a few cool days with a touch of rain and a little wind to feel that serious weather coming on. The time seems to go so fast between the short sleeves and shorts and the fleece-lined whatevers. Once again we must be having a good time ‘cause the lime sure slips away. So much for October. The autumn decorations around the village are so nice to see. Themes of Thanksgiving were enjoyed by many and then were reconfigured 10 at Melville Guild The October meeting of Brussels Melville Guild was held in the church parlour on Tuesday evening Oct. 18 with 10 members present. Leona Armstrong welcomed everyone and read the call to worship. Come Ye thankful People Come was sung. A moment’s silence was observed in memory of Jeanne Ireland, a long­ time member of the Guild. Alice Marks read a poem. Be Thankful and a story, God’s Promise. The scripture Psalm 100 was read in unison and Mrs. Marks led in prayer. The topic. Thanksgiving, was read by Mrs. Armstrong and a poem, Autumn Delight, was read by Mrs. Marks. For the Fruits of His Creation was sung and Mrs. Armstrong led in prayer to close this part of the meeting. Mrs. Armstrong presided over the business. She read a poem. Thanksgiving Is a Time For Remembering, then thanked everyone for helping with the barbecue. She also thanked the women who went to the fall rally in Molesworth and Dona Knight for setting up the fall fair display. The minutes of the September meeting were read and approved. The treasurer's report was given by Jeanne Kirkby. Dona Knight and Jean Bewley will be in charge of the November meeting. A contest about turkeys was enjoyed by all. Lunch was served by Mrs. Armstrong and Mrs. Marks. Lodge donates to parade into a new Halloween scene. Very nice folks, and thank you for taking the time. Take a drive or a stroll and enjoy the artistry in our midst. Auctions seems to have a life of their own; it’s easy to see why people attend them. Each sale has a different sent of factors What’s available, who is in attendance, how badly will I compete to buy the item and how is my money holding up? All these questions and more were evident as the members of the board of stewards of the United Church hosted its auction last Saturday. Wonderful items were available and lots of folks went home with Christmas gifts all ready to give. The donations are always a surprise, and the support and generosity of our congregation is what makes this is a success every two years. So enjoy your purchases and thank you for your support, it was fun once again. The Girl Guides were on their cookie run on Saturday. The one answering the door at this house is still smiling. Standing innocently with boxes of cookies in hand was a young lady with a good ring of melted chocolate around her mouth asking if we’d like to buy cookies. A smile returns every time we have a cookie. Perhaps it’s the Girl Guide way of ensuring sales or their way of testing product or perhaps just tempting treats whatever. It certainly worked on this end of Turnberry Street. Have a nice week and don’t forget to get your fall bulbs planted.
