The first thing that comes to mind about the position is free theatre tickets and maybe a little cash on the side for running a few errands.

(Hook photo) become a member you had better be prepared to work for . the title. There are 16 members and they are. responsible for the direction that the Blyth sum- mer theatre takes, and for looking after fundraising. But it is not as stiff as all that and they do have a lot of fun with the •projects they initiate. Mildred McAdam, presi- dent of the board, remarked that they (the board) likes to run on their stomachs. In fact their food oriented events are the most fun and generate a lot of funding towards the theatre. 'The' -most recent project was the board dinner last weekend where members of the board and Friends of Blyth donate home baked courses for the dinner. The ticket sales are then donated to the Festival. Initially the board had eight members but has ex- tended to 16 and includes a broad cross section of people from the immediate area and surrounding communities. M\rs. McAdam is a nurse, mother and homemaker from Clinton. Along with her hus- band Eugene they are kept hopping organizing events and overseeing projects, One vice president is Liz Herman from The Blyth Saga. Myth. The vice presi• dent of fund 'raising is Lynda Lcnt7 besides being mother and homemaker and former public school teacher. she heads up the 80 voice Festival Choir and takes a major role in the fund raising commit• tee.

"It helps having had Keith as the ,first president of the hoard," said Mrs. McAdam. "He knows the problems and snags the board can•come up against and helps work around them for a better working relationship between the board and the administra- tion." The board has been given a challenge to keep the com- munity involved with the theatre as well as raise funds to keep.the whole operation in the black. And they have been successful on both counts. D Many of the projects in- volve community members and as time goes on more and more of the work that board members took upon them• selves to do is being routed to a new group called . the Friends of Blyth. While the board takes on bigger pro- jects. The board members set up the annual book and bake sale every June and everyone for miles around digs out their well read volumes and d- well read volumes and do- nates them to the sale. The fun part is then going to the sale and buying up all the books you haven't read and trotting them home. Each year the volume of books sorted and sold becomes more and more impressive. The big event in the fall is the medievil feast which was a whopping success last fall and has become an annual event due to popular demand. Here again the board mem- bers and their spouses organ• ize the menu and do the - cooking as well as the decor- ating and entertainment for the evening. This year it is Nov. 13. The community also is drawn into the happenings at the theatre through the child- ren's workshops each sum- mer and the church suppers Blyth youngsters do the ush- ering and hoard members Bethelforms high schoo The new youth executive for the Bethel High School Youth group will be formed in September. The teen group was formed in May of 1982 beoause off a 200 home survey that Pastor Archie Robertson took in •Egmondville and Seaforth, Most of the people contact- ed in the survey said churches should be providing pro- grams for high school aged young people, so a • summer youth program was set up. The final youth event for this summer will take place on Saturday, August 28 at 8:30 a.m. The group will be leaving the church for the Canadian National Exhibi- tion, The cost is $8.50 and this includes transportation and to free ti also take charge of selling memberships, quilt tickets, cushions, cookbooks and try to mention the T-shirts and posters available. A new project undertaken this year is a small handy pamphlet called Rendevous which offers information on the many actors and actresses who grace the Blyth stage. There are a lot of fun things done like having a dessert and coffee party for the board • to meet the staff and cast for the summer theatre. A beach party to end the summer for the sante crowd has become a hit for the season. While not a stoney making event it does offer the staff and summer crews a chance to meet and enjoy more members of the community. Over the past year the board members have been calling more and more on the Friends of Blyth the newly formed support group. The board members have so many projects on the go that more hands are needed. But the old saying "the more ,the mer- rier" holds true. Hands are flying now in preparation for the upcoming Country Fair, The brainchild of Jennifer Hill, it will feature a rummage sale table, plants. books, baking and clothes. Both board members and Friends of Blyth are involved and the date is set for August 21. Donations arc welcome and d drop off point in Goderich is at John McKibbon's: Mildred McAdams in Clinton and Jennifer Hill is coordinating the evcnt(526-'5321 Treats will also include surprise packages. garden fresh produce and preserves as well as a few art and craft items. But before you think that all the work is done In the summer hold nn to your hat. Blyth has a winter program that has been expanding each year. The board gets together and suggests acts that they feel (he community would enjoy and Mr. Roulston, as administrator sets about hooking and pricing the at- tractions. admission. Your teenager is invited to come along and join in on the fun, rik:e fe by fries ,S, A very enjoyable evening was held on Monday, August 16 at Northside United Church, Seaforth for Brenda Finlayson, bride -elect of Sep- tember. The program consisted of making as many words from the bride's name as possible. It was won by Marg Whit- more and Mrs. Empey. There was piano instru- mentals by Janice Carter and Edith Dunlop and a reading • by Agnes Eyre, "Lavinsky at the wedding." The winter program has expanded to include a musi- cal program, theatre;,,and children's shows. Plus there are matinees every month for the kids with homemade goodies available for treats. Again these are donated. The activitiei.of the board have grown so much that president McAdam feels they could use someone full time to organize press releases and travel to the dinners and ets functions to sell the cook- books, quilt draw tickets, posters, T-shirts and book- lets. The Blyth Summer Festival and the Blyth Centre for the Arts have done well and will continue to do so with the hard work and dedication of the board and the work of the volunteers. This is a community work- ing to improve itself and enjoy the job, Fair needs support On the lawn of the Blyth Memorial Hall, August 21 will be a brightly costumed Country Fair selling every- thing verything imaginable. This Fair is organized and run by the Blyth Board of Directors and Friends of Blyth. They will decorate their tables, don pioneer clothing. and gather up trea- sures to be sold. These Will include: home baking and preserves, candy. plants and cut flowers. garden produce, books, flea market items and Blyth's famous Boxes.
