just recently moved to Bridges
from Cambridge but they've been
out on the golf course
already.
"We were just driving
through Seaforth and
we saw the sign. We
liked the golf course,
the town and the rec
hall that's going to be
built," he says.
Already Legion mem-
bers in Cambridge, Tom
says they will also probably join the
Seaforth Legion.
Seaforth Lions Club president Bill
Teall says he's excited to have two
new recent members, Hugh being
one of them.
"We haven't had a lot of growth in
our membership in the last few
years and it's absolutely encourag-
ing to have new members helping
us with our projects," says Teall.
Seaforth BIA president Danica
McNichol says she's been hearing
from a number of local merchants
that they're seeing
Bridges residents as
new customers.
Merchants selling
clothing, hardware,
groceries and satellite
dishes are seeing new
faces, as are services
like hairdressing.
"Everyone is seeing
some new neighbours
and they're utilizing the downtown.
There's some excitement that we're
starting to see the affect of Bridges
and we're hoping it's an indication
of things to come," says McNichol.
"We'd like to see that golf cart
path get going - there's an interest
in anything that makes it easier to
come downtown," she says.
Hugh Bracken, who has already begun attending meetings of the Seaforth Lions
Club, buys his daily paper at the GT Mini Mart during his morning trek into
Seaforth.
