They went to Camp Endabanagh in Norland. Our boys had the experience of meeting new friends from Ajax. Ten boys came from our pack. The boys came prepared for skating but due to the cold weather they had to stay in- doors. They enjoyed many in- door games, skits, crafts and songs and everyone ate well! The leaders, Gerry Geary and Lisa Chandler, would like to thank Wilma Kowalczyk for coming to camp with them, Har- ley Davis for providing trans- portation, Allin Chandler for lending them a car phone, and Trevor Chandler for driving up to pick up the stranded leaders and children. The leaders vehicles wouldn't start on Sunday morning and mechanics from Norland worked on their vehicles and didn't charge them! Special thanks to the Norland Mechan- ics. Gerry finally got his van back on Wednesday. Thank you to the parents for being patient with the stag- gered arrivals and missing lug gage. Thanks to Glenda Ranieri for phoning all the parents with arrival times. What a weekend! Youth group holding a spaghetti dinner cutter under a buffalo robe, or having deep snow nearly up to the telephone wires. There were fewer members out, this due to our present snowy win- ter. We all enjoyed seeing the many bird feeders Shirley has in their back garden. I saw my first cardinal there but there are bluejays, chickadees, gold- finch and, of course, the many busy little sparrows. Mrs. Dorothy Ianson was able to be wish us and we really did enjoy the delicious desserts Shirley served, after we played several games. = camping Scugog Island United Church 19100 Island Road The Lectionary Bible Study group will meet on Tuesday, Jan.25at 1:30 p.m. at S.1.U.C.
