Posters are on display in a number of retail outlets, schools and libraries throughout Oakville, and pledge sheets can be obtained at these locations. To get involved, participants just have to ask people to pledge money m support of their ride. T-shirts will be given to the first 400 participants to register the day of the event and three mountain bikes and 10 bicycle hel- mets courtesy of Wheels in Motion (Hamilton) will be awarded as draw prizes. At the end of the ride, participants will frnd free hot dogs and pop available. The Rotary Clubs in Halton have joined together in committing $500,000 to the building of the second Halton Women's Place shelter in Burlington. All proceeds hom this bike-a-thon will be used to support the Rotary Club of Oakville West's portion of that commitment.

E., this Saturday, May 15th, to mark the company's 20th anniversary. The company, now Canada's largest cottage indus- try, began when Bardon was an assistant editor American Home Magazine, in charge of designing entire rooms. using carefully selected fabrics, for pho- tography. And, she turned heads by decorating her own New York apartment by using swatches of leftover fab- rics, known in Lunenburg County in Nova Scotia, as 'suttles.' When her visa expired, Bardon returned home and began a quilting business in 1973, aptly named 'Suttles & Seawinds' and turned to the local Women's Institute - women with years of experience at quilting --e and found eager workers willing to earn money at home. In addition to to the quilts, her cottage industry produced place mats, pillows, pot holders, oven mitts and apple dolls.

In addition, she walked from that show with a $30,000 order from Abercrombie & Fitch, a large American sporting goods store, and business began to soar. Still left with plenty of 'suttles,' Bardon turned her talents to designing her own clothes to wear to different shows - again turning heads. Women wanted to know where they could buy her fashions, hence in 1974, Suttles & Seawinds expanded into the fashion industry. Today, more than 100 home-sewers in Nova Scotia pro- duce the customized fashion line highlighted with quilt- ed patterns. "Since 1986, the company has been headquartered at Mahone Bay. In 1990, the Oakville store opened as did an outlet at Toronto's Royal York Hotel.
