PAGE I2 TERRACE BAY NEWS MARCH I2, IY9/. KINSMEN CELEBRATE 29TH BIRTHDAY The Schreiber Kinsmen Club sponsored a din- ner for past and present Kinsmen and their wives, and I2 of the recently formed Terrace Bay Club, to mark Schreiber's 29th birthday and the 50th Anniversary of the founding of Kinsmen. Mike Reid, the M.C. was pleased with the attendance of over I00, expressing the hope this event may become an annual occasion. He also remarked it was another 'first', being the venture of brothers Jim and Joe Figliomeni, both Kinsmen, in the field of cat- ering, and obviously, most successful. At the head table, with their wives, were Kieth Penner M.P., Jack Stokes M.L.A., Don Anderson, President of Schreiber Club; Dave Walton, co-chairman of the dinner; Reeve Har- old McParland; Bob Hopper, president of Terr- ace Bay Club; and Mike Power, President of Geraldton Club. Grace was said by Lester McCuaig, the toast to the Queen given by Keith Penner, the toast to the ladies by Bob Cressman, with Brenda Birch responding, and the toast to Kinsmen by Mike Power who began by giving his impression of Hal Roger's personality on the one occas- ion he had been fortunate to meet him. Among the former members attending were Lester and Inez McCuaig, Bob and Marg Kragero, Gino and Frankie Caccamo, Ed and Lena Holmes, Burton and Maureen Phillips, Bill and Lorraine Weaver, Joy Riley and Pat Cook. During the dinner Brian Birch, past presi- dent, presented a handsome bronze tablet, in- scribed with the names of past presidents to ~ Don Anderson for the club and Brenda Birch pre- sented a lecturn from the Kinettes. Bob Hopper paid tribute to the Schreiber Club saying the interest in forming the Terr- Ace Bay club had been sparked by the Schreiber Club's work in its town. Reeve McParland commended the Kinsmen for the contributions they have made - presenting the first ambulance, maintaining the beach at White Sand Lake, enjoyed by so many, and dona- tions to various community enterprises. These, he said, are club activities, but it is inter- esting to note, how many Kinsmen, as dndividu- als are serving their town on other committees and affairs. Keith Penner said he was proud to be a charter member of the Dryden Kinsmen. Kinsmen he continued, is the realization of one man's dream, of a truly Canadian Association of young men, dedicated, first to the betterment of their own community, and, as far as they are able, contributing to other national, and, international welfare. Few, he suspected, of the present members are aware of the tremend- ous contribution made by Kinsmen to the Milk ] for Britain project =-- but - few Britons for- get it. And, this year, is a most fortutitous time for all Kinsmen to acknowledge the inestimable. support given them by their ladies - the Kin- ettes. Jack Stokes, former local Kinsmen, said, that listening to daily news, one sometimes wonders if too many are becoming insensative : to misfortunes and despair of others, but to- night we realize there are those who are con- cerned in making life at least some better for others less fortunate, never losing sight of their main objective, first, their own commun- ity. By good fortune he continued, he recent- ly was able to bring to the attention of The House, the achievements of such a small club in a small town, by sheer hard work and ingen- uity - their motto apparently 'the impossible takes a little longer!" He also noted the-=» goodwill engendered in the town by a Kinette project, supplying senior citizens with a list of telephone numbers to be called at any time they require transportation - at no cost.
