Page 10 Halton HillsThis Week, Wednesday, July 8, 1992 Halton Hills Seniors for the Future By BARBARA SCULLY Bake sale aids building fund For the third year running, the Georgetown and District Seniors ri Association held a Bake Sale at Glen Williams Canada Day celebra- tions, and this year proved to be our most successful. Our telephone committee spent many hours contacting members, requesting both baked goods and volunteers to run our booth. Thanks to their efforts, we had enough helpers and plenty of delicious home-baked goodies. In fact, when we saw the number of loaves, pies, tarts, etc., we wondered if we could ever sell them all! However, by 5 p.m. when it was time to dismantle the booth, the baking was all sold and our building fund over $850 icher. special “thank you” goes to all those who baked or made dona- tions, to the “Sons of Scotland” for letting us use their booth again, to those members of our association who had the difficult task of erect- ing and dismantling the booth, to Holy Cross Church for the loan of tables, and to the helpers who spent many hours pricing, selling the bak- ing and distributing the Canada Day birthday cakes to the many people gathered in oe Williams to cele- brate Canada D: Raffle winners This was also the occasion for the draw for our latest raffle. Les Mellish, our president, and Siena Van Hoekelen, chairman of the fund-raising committee, made the draw at 5 o’clock. The first prize of two lawn chairs, made and donated by Mrs. Minnie Small of Hewson Crescent, was won by Kim Martin of Mill Street (ticket #345). The second prize of an afghan, made by Siena Van Hoekelen, was won by Blanche Lemay of Faludon Drive (Ticket #819). The third prize, an embroidered linen table cloth, was won by Neil Isaak of Flamingo Court (Ticket #721). We would like to thank those who sold tickets at Main Street Pioneer Days, at Glen Williams Canada Day festivities, and the many members who took books of tickets to sell to their friends and families, and all those who pur- chased tickets. If you didn’t win, we hope you will continue to sup- port our raffles and have better luck next time.
