Pythians celebrate 50 years

Submitted

A large gathering took place at the Cast legar Inn
Sept. 23 to celebrate 50 years of Pythianism. Mar
garet Moore and Donna Branning welcomed every-
one and had them sign a guest book. Photo albums
and past write-ups were present on a table. Balloons
with “SO years" and favors donned the supper table
by the committee of Bernice Barrass, Pat Verzuh,
Fran Moffat, Inis McAdams, Geris Moffat, Bev Per-
rin and Mike Bycroft. A decorated cake with “Con-
gratulations on 50 years” was present with a bouquet
of fall flowers and a wall banner with the same was
made by Alex Gleboff.

After a cocktail hour, Fran-Moffat, mistress of
ceremonies, introduced the out-of-town special
guests, Pat Verzuh said grace and a lovely supper
was enjoyed by all.

Roy Spencer-Jackson, Grand Chancellor, gave a
toast to the Queen.

Susan Bycroft, Grand Chief, congratulated and
toasted Twin Rivers #10 members and Mike Bycroft
responded.

Merv Wilson, Grand Secretary, then congratulat-
ed Kootenay Temple #37 and toasted their members.
This was responded to by M.E.C. Rose Soberlak.
History of the past 50 years was given by Seaman
Dewis for Twin Rivers and Joy Saunders gave her
rendition of the past for Kootenay Temple.

Corsages, 50-year pins ahd congratulations were
ted to Kae Andreashuk, who was the first
er and the first District Deputy. Jean Jones

and Ora Lightle were also initiated as members
when institutéd in 1945 on Sept, 23. Earl Le Roy
and Gerry Wanless, also Charter Members of Twin
Rivers, were presented 50-year pins earlier as they
were unable to attend :

Charter Members then cut the cake and served it.

Another highlight was the Lightle’s 60th wedding

anniversary which was celebrated by their families
and friends earlier in the day. A sing-along and
dance followed with music by Don Hollis. Those
present from B.C. Grand Lodge and Temple were.
Susan Bycroft G.C. and her husband Mike, Castle-

United Way sees more donations

easily get lost in the shuffle. Our
campaign is not about votes, but
it is about support and, unlike the
Quebec referendum, it is some-

IN TRAIL

thing about which we as Western-
ers can do something concrete. It
is, in fact, about the people of
Castlegar and particularly about
the one in three of us who use the
services of a United Way agency
each year.

October was United Way
Month in Canada. Our main cam-
paign started in late September
and is still actively in progress.

Kickoff Day went well, thanks
to all your support. Thanks also
to all of you who came out to join

from that day were up about 15
per cent from last year.

The residential canvass is also
showing an improvement over
last yéar. Thanks to your generos-
ity when our volunteers came to
your door, the donations have
increased about 20 pes cent over
1994 :

To keep things in perspective,
we should remember last year
was not a great year. So while we
are very grateful for the improve-
ment seen this year, it has
brought us back to where -we
were two years ago. We still have
a ways to go in order to meet our
goal of $50,000.

Our volunteer canvassers have
finished their rounds. Unfortu-
nately we did not have enough
volunteers to visit every house in

the area, so if you haven’t seen

probably are in a nei hood
we were unable to cover. If you
would like to contribute to the
United Way, just use the blue
mail-in envelope we sent out in
September and we will send you
a receipt. If the mailer has disap-

The campaign goes on. To
those who have helped us toward
our goal we say thank you. To
those who have not yet helped,
but are thinking of doing so, we
say please do! We need you.
Together we can make a differ-
ence here in the Castlegar dis-
trict. That is what the United
Way is about.

Dear Ann Landers: I
have been pleased to see
you occasionally include
in your column letters
about random acts of
kindness. I have one that I
hope you will enjoy and
share with your readers.
Perhaps it will serve as an
inspiration to others.

Last year, Wausau, Wis.,
was the subject of a nega-
tive story on “60 Minutes.”
To combat this negative
image, our newspaper, The
Wausau Daily Herald;
talked area businesses into
co-sponsoring a “Random
Acts of Kindness Week”
this past March.

Businesses, organiza-
tions and individuals were
encouraged to perform
simple acts of random
kindness for people they
knew or didn’t know-The
response was astronomi-
cal. Over 200 businesses
and organizations partici-
pated. The employees of
the newspaper went out in
groups, wearing “Random
Acts of Kindness” T-
shirts, and performed
good deeds.

Banks washed car win-
dows in the drive-up
lanes. Church groups
mowed lawns for people
in the neighborhood.
Movie theaters gave out
free passes to people
waiting in line. One indi-
vidual walked into a
restaurant and bought a
cup of coffee for every
person in the place.

The newspaper ran a hot
line for people to phone in
the acts of kindness they
had witnessed. More than
500 calls were received.
The response was so
tremendous that the Daily
Herald has decided to do
this again next year.

This is an excellent
example of how one orga-
nization in town turned
some negative reporting
around instead of just
griping about it. Thought
you’d like to know. —
Tim in Wausau

Dear Tim: Four cheers
for The Wausau Daily
Herald! It has-tong been
one of my favorite papers.
Way to go!!
