FOLLOWING THE SERVICE A POT LUCK LUNCHEON & VISITING WILL BE ENJOYED. EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO ATTEND. This is Volunteer Week April 13 - 19 As President of Magrath Hospital Auxiliary. I would like to pay tribute to our members for all the work they do as Volunteers. Also to all other volunteers within our Town. A very sincere Thanks one & all. Alma Whitt. A Poem for Volunteers Many will be shocked to find when the day of judgement nears That there's a place in Heaven set aside for volunteers. Furnished with big recliners, Satin couches and footstools, Where there's no Committee Chairman No group leaders or car pools, No eager team that needs a coach No bazaars and no bake sale. There will be nothing to staple, Not a thing to fold or mail, Telephone lists will be outlawed, But a finger-snap will bring Cool drinks and gourmet dinners, And rare treats fit for a King. You ask, who'll serve these privileged few And work for all they're worth? Why, all those who reaped the benefits And not once volunteered on earth. ------- Doreen Shane------ Buffet: A French word meaning "Get up and get it yourself." ****** ****** LIBRARY NEWS: ADULT FICTION Ashworth Hall by Anne Perry Criminal Justice by Barbara Parker ADULT NON-FICTION Diana Her True Story by Andrew Morton, McDonald’s Behind the Arches by John F.Love; Unlimited Power by Anthony Robbins, Entrusted to My Care by Grant MacEwan, Superfoods!
