14 NORTH LEEDS lANTERI ST- PETER'S ACW SEELEY ' S BAY A meeting was held at Rita Joneses' house on January 7th with thirteen members present. A short worship service began the meeting, taken from "the Anglican Magaâ€" zine". The topic was Unity and the premis was that even though we as Christians all believe in Christ, still there is such divisions within the Christian church. Jim Taylor suggested "Unity not uniformity" was the key point in his medita- tion. The new slate of officers was elected. A letter asking for two people to attend Volunteer Appre- ciation Night put on by the Recreation Committee was read and the Treasurer's Report and the Minutes were duly noted. We exchanged names for a popular part of our year, a Secret Pal. We have had this for several years now and it is a yearly interest in one other member of our group. Gifts at important occaâ€" sions and thoughtful cards culminates in a Christmas potluck where the secret pal, also called a prayer partner is revealed. A lively discussion followâ€" ed as to the merits of sponsoring another child from the Christian Childâ€" ren's Fund or starting to use our mission fund for the Private Relief. Mary Dean said she would try to have a person come to discuss it for the February 4th meeting at Vera Bennett's. Vera Bennett expressed a concern that the Christian Childâ€" ren's Fund would be more likely to have more Christian influence than what could be perceived as a socialâ€"causes mission. Hopefully we will find out next month. January 14th from 1:30 to 3:30 and 7:00 to 9:00 will be a meeting at Christ Church in Gananoque on the government proposal for people that need long term care, seniors and disabled people.

The 491 Legion and Seeley's Bay Lions Club decided to help by buying a handâ€" operated car control mechanism, to enable him to continue to drive. Gordon says "I am very grateful to both the Legion and Lions Club for their generous gift." "This is giving back my freedom." "In small Itowns and communities like this, people still care about their friends and neighbours", said Legion President Jim Aldridge. We heard about the problem Mr. Berry was having and together with the Lions Club decided to do something about it. Jim Aldridge and Jack Degraaf see their involvement as an opportunity to show the public they are more than just service clubs. "We want people to understand that we're not just here for seniors and verterans, we will help anyone in the community who needs us." Gordon Berry says he and his wife are "amazed and grateful for" the generosity of the two groups. "It feels great to know we live -in a community where people are so concerned about others," says Mr. Berry.
