8- PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, November 10, 1998 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" Seniors' annual bazaar a boost for memorial By Marion Lee The Port Perry Senior Citizen's Annual Bazaar was held on Saturday, Oct. 17 and the seniors were pleased that the partic- ipation and proceeds were greatly increased over last year. There were special tables to exhibit hand made quilts, baked goods, crafts, Christmas decorations and White Elephant items. An added feature this year was the inclu- sion of crafting done by the wood carvers. The wood carvers had over 100 finely crafted items on display. Donations were received from members who were unable to contribute in other ways. The eight person Food Services Committee served an excellent luncheon to more than 100 guests. All diners had a free draw for special bas- kets. The winners were Alana Kennedy and Joyce Ward. For the children's free draw the winner was Rachael Baldwin. A major fundraiser involved the production of two quilts and one set of matching pillows. This project, which involved a great deal of work over the past year, was managed by Marion Lee with the help of six other ladies. Mayor Moffat was on hand and drew the tick- ets for the lucky win- ners. The winners were Linda Parry of Port Perry and Ed Naylor of Whitby. The proceeds from this special project con- tinue the support of the Remembrance Garden at the local hospital. Several hospital repre- sentatives were on hand to express their appre- ciation of these contin- ued donations.

The congregation has committed funds towards its New Beginnings pro- ject, which includes out- reach projects for First Nations people in Canada and, more locally, the St. Vincent's Soup Kitchen in Oshawa.
