On March 20, Holy Commun- ion will be dispensed at the reg- ular service. Smorgasbord April 30 Albert Putsey Pine Ridge Garden Club We had our usual great feast at the pot luck supper Tuesday night. Maybe doctors should abolish such things, you see the food looks good, tastes good and the variety is endless. Conse- quently we all eat too much. Fol- lowing supper we had a few minutes of laughter during the business meeting. Don Proutt was our guest speaker who gave an excellent lecture on gerani- ums along with slides. I didn't realize there were so many dos and don'ts about growing a plant. He has over 300 varieties at his home. The club is holding an Inter- national Smorgasbord Supper, April 30 starting at 5 p.m. at Nestleton Hall. Price is $10 for adults; $5 for children 12 and under. Tickets must be pur- chased in advance. Phone Kath- leen Petrie 986-4771 or Betty Forsyth 986-9164. Remember ag you drive through the streets of Scugog, this club donates and plants flower beds in various lo- cations. Your sponsor is appre- ciated. We pay special tribute to members of our community who attended the special Day of Prayer for Peace at the house of worship of their choice last Fri- day. Caesarea Community Hall Board had a busy week. First with a budget meeting Sunday, then their monthly meeting last Thursday. I really think they took a leaf out of my last week's report listing all the activities for the coming month. Good luck it will give me something to write about. They plan on issuing a monthly calendar by mail for every household whom receives their mail at the Caesarea Post Office. So come cloggers, Regat- ta folks, hockey and baseball groups, Park and Rowan Beach Associations and all the differ- ent levels of Scouting and Brownies, get on the band wag- on and let them know what is going on so we can all give you our support. All notices must be in to Ruth Savage 986-0493 be- fore the 15th of the previous month of publication. I wish we had a dozen Ruth's around. They are also going to issue a community survey asking for your choice of entertainment. Please fill it out and then make sure you support your choice. They are in the process of pur- chasing new banquet tables and chairs for the hall. If you have had experience of the use and abuse of tables and chairs in a hall, please give me a call at 986-0181. I regret I must change the Community Regatta Meeting date to March 20 from 2-4 p.m. at the hall due to other commit- ments. Glad to see councillor Dave Dietlein back at all the meet- ings again and we can only say thanks Dave for your time in community activities and the very best of Juck.
