ZEPHYR & SANDFORD by Pat Asling Is spring finally here? Trees and flowers seem to think so; just hope they aren’t too optimistic. That sunshine has been very welcome. It is reported that the performance by Travis Smalley last Sunday at the Maureen Forester Auditorium was top-notch; keep our fingers crossed that he did well on his marks since the event was worth 70 per cent of his year. Bruce and Janet Smith attended a Green Tractor demonstration in Omemee last week, showcasing the new equipment available. There was a wonderful attendance at the UCW meeting last Thursday in Sandford when some of the men and several visitors from Zephyr joined with us to hear Earle Lockerby discuss the Acadian expulsion for PEI. Thanks to Caroline McGillivray who helped with the technology, he pre-
sented a great power point exhibit and not only filled us in on the historical significance of the event but set us straight on some misconceptions. There were actually two expulsions, one in 1855 and later in 1858. “Evangeline” was written about the 1855 event; the settlers were returned to France even though they were British citizens by then and they were not sent to Louisiana. The Cajuns of Louisiana came directly from France. Several of the “boys” have been rising early to go fishing and turkey shooting, with moderate success. The Luke girls took part in the Huck Finn Fishing Derby on Saturday. Rev. Carol McKinley was our guest minister Sunday, filling in for Rev, Diane who was holidaying, with husband Chris, in London England. Her message was entitled “And then
there is Love”. Rev. Carol will be with us once again on May 19 when we hold a joint congregational service with Zephyr, at Zephyr, service at 11 a.m. Don’t forget the “Flag of Love Day Concert at Zephyr Hall Saturday night, 7:30 PM with Mary and Brian, Cassidy and several other guest artists. On Saturday May 10, there will be a free-pizza night at Sandford church. If you intent to attend please let Bruce Harwood know by May 5. On May 7, a week earlier than normal, the Sandford Church Council will meet, 7 p.m. On May 9, Zephyr UCW hold their potluck lunch at 12 noon. May 12 is Christian Family Sunday, better known as Mother’s Day. It is important to note that this is the day when time of services switch- Sandford will be 9:30 a.m. and Zephyr at 11 a.m.
