Always a lot of fun at the hall that night. Everyone welcome and who knows, you might go home with a turkey or a ham. Nestleton United Church Also this Saturday, Dec. 2 the Nestleton United Church is having its annual variety night along with a silent auction at their church in north Nestleton. For an enjoyable evening surrounded with friendship it's the place to be. Everyone welcome. This past Tuesday | attended a lec- ture at thé Nestleton Hall given by Patricia Van Oostveen on the subject of investment strategies. It was very informative on all angles of invest- ment strategies and the rate of tax which accompany the profit. We thanked her for a well presented sub- ject. Optimist Club Wednesday night | was invited by Sam McGee of the Optimist Club to attend their meeting in Brooklin. We said the last time we met was in 1992. He submitted his plans for an indoor pool and meeting place for our youth. That is the main theme of the Optimist is to have youth form bene- ficial groups in our society where they rule themselves under the helping hands of parents. In this area of growth in housing I wish Sam the very best of success. Thursday night the Lake Scugog Albert Putsey Historical Society met at St. John's Presbyterian Church in Port Perry. Our guest speaker George Duncan took us down an avenue of historic homes with his slides which were moved or renovated in areas of Markham, Thornhill, Richmond Hill and Aurora. He spoke of a developer purchasing a farm with a historic house on it which he'd sell for a dollar, but it must be moved because it didn't blend in with his development. Usually the house when complete on the new site costs you as much as a new home. The lot, the moving, the basement, the plumbing, electrical and heating, sewers or septic tanks etc, to bring it up equal to todays standards. It was indeed a very interesting lecture. The Blackstock and Port Perry Lions were in the Santa Claus parade in Port Perry on Saturday in full force. We had our large Leo the Lion with us. I sat in the back of the pickup con- trolling the sound effects of our marching recorded music, by the way, all those instruments played in that tape are played by one man using his mouth, hands, arms and feet to com- plete the beat. It was great to see all the children out waving to us. A great parade and a great crowd.

Thought for the Week Every act of virtue is an ingredient unto reward.
