OFFICIAL CHURCH BOARD MEETING St. Andrew's United Church congregation en- 'joyed a bountiful pot luck supper before going on to their official church meeting, when annual reports were presented. Officers of the official Board, Mrs. T.P. Whent, chairman; Mrs. R.G. Macadam, secretary; W.G. Gerow, treasurer and George Gordon, envel=- ope secretary, presented their report -- in brief -- during the period between June I972 and July I973, when the church was without a res- ident minister, Rev. Dr. Peden of Thunder Bay acted as an interim Minister and brought other speakers for various Sundays. In appreciation of his kindness the Board had presented him and Mrs. Peden with an oil painting done by Joan Niemi, local artist. The annual delicatessen in March, and Fall Fair, held in September, again proved most successful fund-raising projects. 01d banquet tables were repaired and new | ones made by Tommy Whent, George Gordon, and Bill Gerow. Regular checks were made on the heating systems in the two residences owned by the church and in the church, repairs made when necessary. Coin card donations for the Easter, Thanks- giving and Christmas services were rewarding and the services well-attended. The response to the sale of The Observer was good. George Riley's offer to keep the back en- trance to the Church plowed was gratefully acknowledged - Jeff McCanna keeps the front door cleared. Farewell gifts were presented to Mrs. June Dukes, president of the U.C.W. and Miss Barbara Dick for their support of the church, and a wedding gift to Miss Wendy Weaver - church organist. continued page I3
