BEAR-Y HAPPY TO SEE YOU: There were some terrific displays to be browsed through when the Scugog Spinners and Weavers held their annual show and sale this past weekend at the Masonic Lodge hall in Port Perry. Here, Eleanor lussa of In less than two weeks hundreds of township residents will be going in circles in an attempt to raise money. In an effort to raise funds for the construction of a second ice pad and to pay off the loan for the Scugog Community Centre, organizers are hoping for a good turnout at the Nov. 2 Skate-A- Thon event. "We're hoping that we can get lots of people out for this event because it's to help the community," organizer Brenda Robinson said last week. "We are looking to raise money through either pledges or dona- tions; anything is appre- ciated. When all the money is added up we will divide it up and sev- enty-five per cent will go in a trust fund for a new ice pad and the remain- ing twenty-five per cent will go towards paying off the debt for the com- munity hall." During the inaugural fundraiser $15,610 was raised with $11,708 going in a trust fund and $3,902 was used to pay off the outstanding debt. The event, she adds, is a way to get the whole community out for some- thing t they can all do togethe "It's a township-wide fundraiser. We're hoping to get everyone together for an afternoon of fun, which will also raise money for second pad and pay off a community debt.

"If the time's not good for a certain group we will try and arrange for a different date; we're trying to encourage peo- le to come out for this. ast year those who col- lected over $100 got a jacket and this year we are giving out duffel bags. Also, the team or group who raises the most money will be treated to a party at Pizza Delight," the township employee added. Last year over 225 jackets were passed out and this year's three top prizes for most pledges are a Pioneer entertain- ment unit; a pair of in- line skates; and $75. Members of the Port Perry ModJdacks will be on the ice to give a hand to those in need and a special section will be set aside at centre ice for beginners and seniors. Certain times will be set up for various groups and Ms Robinson has high hopes that this event will be even more successful than last year's. It's hoped his will be a very successful fundraiser. This is not just for a new ice pad, but to pay off the remain- ing $45,000 on the com- munity centre, some- thing everyone uses.
