Seniors enjoyed trip Acton Golden Agers held their Christmas Party Wednesday, Dec. 9 at Luxton Hall. A turkey dinner with the trimmings was catered by Andy's Family Restaurant. A Christmas tree and decorated tableau helped to make it a festive occasion for the 44 members who attended. Betty Green and Christine Robertson won a 50-50 draw. These two lucky gals are celebrating birthdays this month. The IGA donated a beau- tiful red poinsettia, which (- was won by Sandra Marzo. Glenda Benton played for a carol singalong and per- formed an instrumental of the beautiful "Star of the East." As many had differ- ent carol books, where words or verses were different, it made for an hilarious evening of fun and fellow- ship. The evening ended with a bountiful selection of Christmas goodies and cof- fee. Thanks to each and every one of you and Merry Christ- mas.

In a frenzy of musi- cal creation, he fashioned the work over a scant 25 days. For over two hours Friday night the Georgetown Choral Society, its four soloists and the Aradia Baroque Ensem- ble, all under the baton of A. Dale Wood, inspired an au- dience filling Holy Cross Church in Georgetown with its inspirational and stirring performance of the celebrated Christmas oratorio. It was a splendid Christmas bouquet for all of Halton Hills. Fittingly, under the mag- nificent wrought-iron figure depicting the Second Coming of Christ, the 80-voice choir brought Handel's work to life with a majesty the composer must have envisioned as he created the score. It was an inspiring evening not just for the message but for the depth and professionalism of the performance. The performers really deserved the standing ovation they received at its close. There was no fidgeting in the pews as the oratorio un- folded.

The orchestra, a dozen young musicians who spe- cialize in Baroque and 17" century as well as modern music, gave a special qual- ity to the performance. Capturing the inspiration and enthusiasm of the com- poser is no mean feat for even the most professional singers and musicians. It is especially difficult for the so- loists to capture all the nu- ~ ances of the score. Soprano Lisa Sullivan-Timney, alto ' Carolynne Godin, tenor Lenard Whiting and bari- tone Patrick Timney suc- ceeded. The tremendous vol- ume of the choir, from the opening "And the Glory of the Lord" to the triumphal Hallelujah Chorus and the final choruses, amplified Handel's vision. Dale Wood's magic with the ba- ton, welding all these influ- ences together with few flaws, was another feather in along musical career. Surely there has never been a per- formance to equal this one in this area and well beyond. For those who missed Fri- day's concert, there is one more this Friday at Holy Cross. If you love music and there are tickets left it will measure up and beyond your expectations. fees an EXCAVATING LTD.
