We'll be looking forward to seeing you at these events. Drop around to our booth for an update on Community Care's programme. With regret we accepted the resignation of Judy MacColl, as signing officer for Meals on Wheels. Judy is one of the originators of Meals on Wheels (M.O.W.) when it started in Port Perry seven years ago.We are in- debted to Judy for her 7 years of dedicated service to this invaluable programme. As of August 1st, 1979, M.O.W. will be a budget item on the Community Care budget, with Chairman of M.O.W., Del Willis, and Treasurer of Community Care, Barbara Carnegie, as signing officers. Our committee in charge of our Luncheon and Bake Sale on Thursday June 21st at the Latcham Centre, has' been busy organizing this, our first fund-raising pro- ject. Through the generous- ity of Vachon Inc., the butter 48th Annual School, for our participation in "Career Week'. For one week in May a student from the high school, took part in office activities at Commun- ity Care. It was with great appreci- ation that we accepted a $200.00 cheque from the Kinsmen Club to be used for our M.O.W. programme. Each year, for the past 3 years the Port Perry Kins- men Club have donated this $200.00 to be used for expens- es incurred by M.O.W., such as foil, food hampers, styro- foam cups and lids, etc. For this "On-going support to this programme we are deeply grateful. In the local co-ordinator's report for the month of May, we learned that 164 people are being served by Com- munity Care in Scugog; 231 M.O.W. were delivered; our volunteers did 127 additional assignments; and we have 138 registered volunteers working for us. We need more men volunteers in our Community Care pro- gramme, those who would assist with odd jobs around the home and those who would provide transporta- tion for other men. To honour our Seniors, Community Care will have a display in Brock's window during Senior Citizens' Week, June 17th to 23rd. Look for us there! Don't forget our Luncheon and Bake Sale, this Thurs- day, June 21st, between the hours of 11A.M. and 2 P.M. | Lunch at the Lake with Community Care! Gerrow family hold reunion The 48th annual Gerrow Reunion was held at Nestle- ton Community Park on Saturday, June 16, 1979. The weather was perfect and despite a smaller atten- dance, everyone enjoyed themselves. The Sports Committee, under the able supervision of Lorne Thompson and Bill Robinson (with his loud speaker system) gave every- one from the oldest to the youngest a chance to partici- pate. Dinner began at 6 p.m. with a bountiful buffet table tastefully arranged by Lillian Ross and Ivah Fralick. Our President, Mrs. Phyllis Thompson conducted a short business meeting and for all who did not attend, our 49th reunion will be held at the same place, Nestleton, on Saturday, June 14, 1980. Mr. Maunsell Gerrow brought us up to date on the preparation of our Family Tree and it is hoped that this will be completed sometime in the near future. The ground work has already been done on this and it is only a matter of bringing it up to date. Our oldest member present was Maunsell Gerrow and our youngest relative was Kingsley Malcolm. Greetings were received from Glen and Edith Rouse, Red Deer, Alberta and Hector and Evengeline VanNest from Rimbey, Alberta. They had hoped to join us this year but unfor- seen circumstances preven- ted this. After dinner everyone joined in Bingo with Jim and Jan Gerrow in charge. Following this a dance was held presided over by Bill Robinson and his music. Our new Executive for 1980 is: President - Mrs. Inez Maundrell; Vice President - Jim Gerrow; Secretary- Treasurer Mrs. Gwen Malcolm; and along with their committees will be working hard for another successful reunion, so let all our relatives give them their support and attend in 1980.
