Great Garden House Raffle
Draw for $2,500 Garden House/Shed on
Saturday, April 4, 1998.
We are entering the final two months to purchase tickets on the The Garden House. The draw will take place on April 4/98.
Tickets ($3.00 per ticket or 4 for $10.00) are available at the Garden House (open Saturdays 10am-12 noon).
 The GTT committee extends its thanks to Linda Strathdee of Stonetown Books
for her promotion on our behalf. She is donating $3 to the Trail for every copy of the
book, Early St. Marys by Curly Wilson and L.R. Pfaff. |
In my last article, I announced
the March 14th International Dinner which will be prepared by the
Baha’i Community of St. Marys to benefit the GTT. The menu has been set and
here it is:
- Estaboli Polo (Turkish)
Casserole of Bismati rice, green beans and meat - Persian Sweet Rice (Persian)
Rice dish of fluffy Bismati rice, grated carrot and sultanas - Maghlobeh (Arabic)
Arabic rice and chicken - Chicken Bahieh (Persian)
Roasted chicken pieces, marinated in onion and spices with a touch of garlic - Rice and Tahdig (Persian)
Fragrant Bismati rice with thin roasted potato slices - Khoresht Ghaimeh (Persian)
Delicate curry with steak, potato, split peas and black lemon - Viande en croute (French Canadian)
Delicious meat roll in pastry - Desserts: Chocolate Charlotte Russe, Charlotte aux Bleuets, English Trifle
- Fresh Portuguese bread rolls, green salads, juices, Persian tea, African tea and Arabic coffee
The evening at the Friendship Centre will begin at 6 p.m. with a punch (a drink, not an action). The buffet style dinner will be served at 6:30. We suggest being on time for the meal because there are limited facilities for keeping the food hot for a prolonged period. After the meal, we will be treated to a variety of entertainers in keeping with the International theme of the evening. Tickets are available at the Garden House (open Saturdays 10am-12 noon). There are only 50 tickets for sale.
The GTT wants to extend thanks to the St. Marys Lions Club for its donation of $15,000. Our fundraising total is around $82,000. (This means that our recent "update" of the thermometer on the lawn of the Town Hall is no longer accurate. At the rate of donation receipts, one of us is going to have to stay on the lawn with a bucket of red paint at the ready to keep the mercury rising!)
We are beginning the tendering process for the railings that will be on the Sarnia and Emily Street bridges. With a strong push to have that process completed by early March, it shouldn’t be long before the rumblings of activity are seen on the Bridge. With your support, there will be a Trail to walk on this summer.
