Lucknow Sentinel, 2009-02-04, Page 15Port Albert cranking up for RPM's 175th
BY GERARD CRECES
Signal -Star Staff
The village of Port Albert is crank-
ing up for the RPM's 175th anniver-
sary, getting ready for Revn in '11.
After the success of Port Albert
Kicks in '86 - the village's 150th
anniversary - Rev'n committee
members Gwen Doherty and Nancy
Corkun said public interest was
high for a 175th celebration.
In fact, support was so great for
the event they said - especially from
• cottagers - that the only question for
the committee was to make it a day
or a weekend.
One day was deemed to short a
time for celebration, so Rev'n in '11
will take place over the Civic
Holiday weekend July 29-31, 2011.
"We're giving ourselves more
time (to organize) this year,"
Colt= said.
• More than 5,000 people kicked in
'86, and the committee is looking to
build on that success by combining
past and.present.
A book was created for the 150th
anniversary celebration, document-
ing much of the history of Port
Albert through photos, family stories
and community history.
A similar publication is in the
works for this year.
"The focus is probably going to be
\what's gone on since," said Corkum.
"We'd like to make it more of a per-
sonal book."
Doherty said where the other book
was history -heavy, this time around
personal stories, photographs and
histories from families new to Port
Albert in the past 25 years are all
welcomed. .
The festivities start this year, as
the first of many fundraising func-
tions is set to rock Safford Valley
Hall March 28 with the help of the
Full Nelsons and Ronnie and the
Law.
The concert is $10 per person, and
a bus service will be available for
• people in Lucknow, Dungannon and
• of course, Port Albert.
"Everyone's invited," said
Doherty.
The dance is expected to start a
long string of events leading up to
the 175th anniversary, including raf-
fles, dances and other fundraisers.
The main event will have the same
• mix of entertainment and activities,
good food and good times that
helped make the 150th a success.
The committee hopes to raise
$50,000 for the weekend festivities.
Anyone looking to get involved or
for more information can call co-
chairs Tom Dickson and Mark Ryan
at 519-529-7632 or 519-529-3152 or
Nancy Corium at 519-529-3139.

HOW TO --:-WRITE A
..2.CLASSIFIED. AD
• 8 Simple Steps to Creating a Classified Ad
1. What do you have to offer? Start your acivertisement by naming the
item or service you are presenting.
2. Are you being clear? Complete, concise information will encourage a
quick response from readers.
Can the reader reach you? Be sure to include your telephone number
or address. If necessary, list a preferred time to have potential buyers
contact you.
4. Are you giving your ad enough exposure. Consecutive publication of
your ad will generate the greatest amount of reader attention. Generally, a
3 -week run time's the best and most cost-effective arrangement.
5. What's the best part of your offer? Identify and write about the most
beneficial feature of the product or service you are icivertising.
S. Have you covered all of your bases? Make sure you are providing suffi-
cient information about the merchandise or service you are offering,
including the price. Does the reader know what you are selling, why they
should buy it and how they can contact you for inforination.
7. How can you reach the greatest number of prospective buyers?. Place
your ad with The Sentinel and ask for the connection to eight other week-
lies in this area.
