" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, June 9, 1992 - 37 A Family Tradition for 126 Years" Greenbank Hall needs community support to continue operating With a church well filled Sun- day morning, the Sunday School did a wonderful job with their presentation of "Noah's Roll Call," showing how Noah gathered two of all the animals into the Ark. A great deal of work for the leaders to produce all these outfits, and good work on the children's part producing the various noises and move- ments made a very enjoyable morning for all present. Holly Beattie sang several times dur- ing this performance. Meghan Stone played her vio- lin while the offering was re- cetved and she was enjoyed by all. Congratulations to every member that took part and to all who helped in other ways. Remember Pinedale Sunday School Anniversary next Sun- day,June 14 at 11a.m. The Greenbank Women's In- stitute will hold their meeting on June 17 at 1:30 p.m. at the home of Mrs. Neil Hunter with Stephanie of Grandma Grunts from Port Perry as special speaker. Everyone is welcome, bring a friend. On Friday, June 12 at 8 p.m. there will be another euchre party held in the Greenbank Hall. The Fidelus Unit of the U.C.W. is holding a bake sale on June 26 - all donations would be appreciated. Please have same at the churchby 1 p.m. At the Monday night meeting of the Greenbank Park and Hall Board committee, a genuine concern of the group was un- avoidable. Reality, that the Greenbank Hall is present! not able to sustain itself fins - cially. The hall is used extens rely by local groups, organizacions and individuals. But some of the groups {youth} are not capa- ble of paying a rental fee and the number of rentals does not come close to paying for heat- ing, hydro, caretaking, etc. Scugog council has given gen- erous grants to assist with capi- tal improvements. But the daily operating costs of the hall has been in the red for the past three years. Some fundraising activities or formation of a "Greenbank Hall Association" or both will have to be addressed if the hall is to continue meeting the needs of this Greenbank community!" Nice to see Helen McKean back and on the go again. Let us permit nature to have her way She understands her business better than we do. For news next week please call Helen 985-2944. Greenbank Public School News By B.J. Byers and ohn Schewaga Last week 42 junior students went on a bus trip to Sudbury. On the way they saw the Col- lingwood Caves, Bruce Nuclear Station, and shipwrecks at Tob- ermory. They stayed in a motel then packed up and took the fer- ry Chi-Cheemaun. It could hold 365 passengers and over 100 ve- hicles. They stopped at a trad- ing post to see native hand- crafts. They then drove to the Science North in Sudbury. / It was amazing because they could participate in lots of ex- periments. Later while on a wagon ride they saw bear tracks. The last stop was the Big Nickel Mine. A tour guide took them down 66 feet to a real mine and they learned about ex- plosives, rock transport and machinery use. On the way home they watched a movie on the bus, lis- tened to music and then were greeted in the school parking lot by happy parents. The remaining students and the Grade 3s went on a bus trip to the Toronto Science Centre. They were in small groups with parent volunteers. They visited many levels of scientific demon- strations. Level D, space, was the favorite! The students were able to participate and play with the equipment. They all wish they could go again but stay for an- other -- Toray, June 9, the Durham Final Track Meet takes place at the Civic Fields in Oshawa. Good luck to all our representa- tives.
