For $1,000.00 I Will Shave My Head! For those of us who have not met before, my name is Barb Guernsey (nee Spry) and I live in the Black Creek Community. I am the Worthy Matron (like a president) of the Order of the Eastern Star's Picton Chapter for the year 2003-2004. The Eastern Star is a beneficent Fraternity whereby we choose annual projects to raise money for a worthy cause. My project this year is "Wigs For Kids". Wigs for Kids is a nationally recognized not for profit charity that provides wigs at no cost to children who have lost their hair.

Barb Guernsey Every year, many of the 12,000 children who are diagnosed with cancer will lose their hair as a result of medical treatments. Other children are diagnosed with Alopecia Areata, a hereditary condition that results in total hair loss over the entire body. Some children lose their hair as a result of burns. And some chil- dren develop a psychological condition that causes them to pull out their own hair uncontrollably. (to find out more visit www, wigsforkids.org) So far for my project I have raised almost $1,000.00 in fundraising such as craft sales and draws. My next fundraising event takes place April 24th, 2004. My challenge to you is that you help me reach my goal of an- other $1,000.00. Why so much? It takes up to 12 ponytails and $1,500 to design and create the hair systems, each of which is painstakingly constructed to meet the individual needs of the recipient. If my goal is met I will have my head shaved at 4:00 p.m. on April 24th. The public is wel- come to come to our Chapter at 18 Talbot Street, Picton, on that date to see if my goal is met. If it's not met, I will still be having 10-12" cut off. We will have a smorgasbord to follow at 4:30 till 6:00 p. m. in the Hail for those interested. ($10.00 for adults, $5.00 for the kids) Throughout the day at the hall we will have others getting their hair cut to donate to Wigs for Kids too. If your hair is 10-12" long, not permed or colour-treated and with- out any grey hairs and you wish to donate it to this worthy Worthy Matron LIL' DIPPER | EXCAVATING / WELDING SERVICES | FULL SIZE & MINI BACKHOE SERVICES Kubota L-48 and B-21 Loader/Hoe 12, 16, 18 & 24" buckets Waterlines Trenching Driveways Grading Stump Removal Septic Systems Underground Hydro SPECIALTY WELDING Aluminum, Brass, Cast, Stainless Steel Arc-Mig, Heavy Equipment Farm Equipment Repairs Heavy Equipment Repairs Propeller & Marine Repairs Custom Trailers 30 Years Experience Ralph Douglas 2697 County Rd. 13, Picton 476-3433
