The Men's Lodge xiii be meeting on Wednesday, November lst when plans for their annual Turkey Supper will be finalized. This supper is being held in, the E.C.E. Room of Kendal Helping Each Other Everybody needs to rely on someone at some point in lîfe. When 1 moved to Newcastle six years ago from Kingston, I sure could bave used a friend.. Hubby worked in Toronto. 1 did not have any fniends or relatives in this area. -If an emergen- cy situation arose, 1 was on my own. Even hubby could not be reacbed ail day because he was on the, road domng deliveries. I remember tbe loneliness an d feeling of isolation that came with being a stay at home moma in a new town. Even my kids were older which meant less opportu- nity for meeting other par- ents. Being sby did not help my situation any. What stands out most in my mind is how I did not know a sole tbat I could ask to pick up one of my kids from school if one became iii and 1 was not able to be reached. Perhaps this memory is wbat prompted me to accept a two week job that wouid help anotber family. I already work 45 hours a week as a, fuli-time, nanny/housekeeper and 1 am in an exciting new skin care and cosmetic business that occupies two or three evenings a week1-. So, wben a woman wbo got my name from a mutual United Church on Sunday,_ November l9th as in former years $1.0O0 of each ticket xiii be going to some needy familles for Christmas and they wouid like everyone to bring an item of non-perish- abile goods. In other years this has been added to Kirby Scbool's food drive for dis- tribution. More information about the supper in next column. On Thursday, November 9th the Ladies of Kendal His L.O.B.A. 1420 xiii be initiating two new members. On Saturday, October 2l1st the U. C.W. Ladies heid their Bake and Yard Sale in the Hall. On Sunday, October 22nd the children of Kendal United Church held Sunday Sebool in the Hall, wbile their parents took part in the church ser- vice. It -is good to see the co-operation between the Lodges and the church. P. Lowery acquaintance phoned and asked if I couid come into ber home at 5 a.m. for two. weeks, and wake ber chul- dren, feed tbem breakfast, make sure packed lunches were in order and clothing was presentabie for the weather situation, then drop them off at tbeir regular babysîtters on my way to work. I decîded to help out. Certain situations arise in our daily lives that mfake us need belp from otbers. In the end we only get back wbat we put out. Little things like watering a friend's plants whule she is away, looking after a neîgh- bour's bouse wbile tbey are on holiday, accepting a par- cel delivery for a neighbour not at home, or taking another child to a sports game because the parents are tied up that night. People generally remember these moments of help and, appreciate them. Even if you are being paid a fee, you are heiping someone out. In two weeks time I should look pretty baggard. Even my Mary Kay make-up will bave difficulty hiding tbe tired eyes. But I xiii feel good, because 1 belped someone in a situation beyond their con- trol.
