Doc- tors, ministers, discharge planners, area health service co-ordinators, members of the townshipCouncil, Seeley's Bay Lions Club and Legion joined the Lodge in celebrating its grand openâ€" ing (Complete with ribbon cutting). The festivities got underway at 2 p.m. with an eloquent speech by Karen Robertson, who spoke warmly of the Lodge, the excellent care pro- vided by a friendly, efficient staff and her hopes and plans for the future. She was joined by coâ€"owner Donald Dal Bianco, who echoed her sentiments and wished for increased luck in the future.‘/ The visiting dignitaries were given a tour of the Lodge, introduced to staff and residents and treated to a wine and cheese luncheon. The Lodge was open to the general public in the evening. Over 100 people from the surrounding area toured the facilities. On display in the lobby was a beau- tiful luncheon cloth donated to the Lodge. The cloth was raffled off at the end of the evening and was won by Mrs. Edith Galway of Gananoque. Proceeds from this draw ($76) will be used to finance future projects... a cookbook compiled by residents, staff and volunteers, a craft show to be held at the Lodge and a second luncheon cloth to be raffled off at Christmas. Tours were conducted by members of the management and staff with ample time allowed to view the lounges and - rooms . Many of the residents helped the staff prepare this meal. Perhaps that is one of the reasons everyone left the Lodge feeling a sense of friendship, caring and co-operation. There was no feeling of institutionâ€" alism, but, rather a sense of being at home. We truly hope that residents will come to regard Seeley's Bay as home. ST Peter’s A.c.w.' The November meeting opened with the Invocation followed by Scripture and the Meditation. The minutes were read and roll call was answered by 8 members. The treasurer's report was read. Money was turned in from the tickets on the quilt, money for the birthday box and the year of the disabled. A Bikeâ€"A-Thon, held on November 7 covered a 20 mile route with various check points along the route. Hot dogs and drinks were served at the church. Rita Jones brought an apron she made and suggested that we might be able to make a few more and have a small table of crafts at our pancake supper in February. The December meeting on the 4th will be a pot luck supper at 6 p.m. All members of St. Peter's Church are in- vited. The winner of the quilt will be drawn that evening. The rummage sale was a great success, and Marj Bradley was the winner of the box of groceries. The meeting closed with grace fol- lowed by a lunch.
