Residents who walk their pets at night please wear an
item of bright or reflective clothing. This would make
it easier for motorists to see you in plenty of time to
avoid you. It would be especially beneficial on cloudy
nights without moon or stars.

At a recent meeting between the BCHOA Board and
Activity Conveners it was determined that an
unscheduled "Early Bird Coffee" group is using the
Blue Heron Room when another activity is scheduled
between 8:15 and 9:00 am. This group is kindly
requested not to have their coffee in the Blue Heron
Room during that time. The scheduled coffee hour, in
the Robin Room, starts at 9:00 a.m. and continues until
10:00 a.m. The Conveners and the Board all agree
this will go a long way to avoiding scheduling
problems and thank everyone for their anticipated cooperation.

Volunteers Needed
Christmas Ramble
We are looking for volunteer hosts/hostesses for this
year’s Christmas Ramble. We are looking for maybe 5
or 6 houses for residents to visit, where they can call in
have a chat, a little Christmas cheer and nibbles and
then move on to the next house. Wine will be provided
by the Board. For more information please call Vicki
Leggatt at 905-382-5532.
Can you give 1 hour (or more) of time to help those
putting on our annual Craft Sale? We need people to
man (or woman) the Main Gate and the Rec Hall
Parking Lot. Your job would be to simply direct traffic
to the Rec Hall or assist with parking at same. The Sale
is on Saturday, November 8th from 9 am to 2 pm. If 10
people would give 1 hour of their time, we would have
it covered. A sign-up sheet has been posted on the Rec
Hall bulletin board with the time slots indicated. Will
you help? Questions? Call Milt Parker @ 9090.
Movie Night
Attention Crafters
We will be showing another true story“Heaven is For
Real” on Sunday October 19th at 7:00 in the Blue
Heron Room. There is a listing about the movie and
characters on the Rec Hall bulletin board. Todd and
Sonja Burpo are a reallife couple whose son Colton
claims to have visited Heaven during a near death
experience.
Please come out and join us and bring a friend or two.
We have really appreciated the turnout that we have
been getting for our movie showings. Thanks to you
all.
Your Black Creek Movie Committee
For those of you that showed up last Wed. thanks, and
thank you to Bev Kennis for stepping in for me. The
Crafters will meet on the 2nd and 4th Wed of each
month. We will do one project a month. On Oct. 22
we will start with learning how to make a bow.
Anyone in the community may join in and learn how to
make bows for parcels or for decorating a door or for
your Christmas tree.
You will need scissors, pipe cleaners, ribbon with
wired edges, at least 3 meters for a good size bow; if
you want larger then bring more ribbon.
Costco has great Christmas ribbon in right now and it
is around $8.00 for a bolt with 50 yards on it. This is
your best value. If you want to learn how to make
bows for gift wrapping you will need a satin ribbon, no
wire in it you can buy it at a flower shop. You will
need at least 3 meters for a bow.
For more info please contact Bonnie Backshall @6273

Remembrance Day
In order to hold a celebration here in the Recreation
Hall to remember the Veterans who fought for the sake
of FREEDOM we need somebody to lead and organise
this year's event. There are people willing to participate
but are not willing to take up the lead role !! I have the
plans of past events and will hand them over to the
person(s) willing to act in a leadership role. Perhaps
one of our ladies can take up the challenge !! This year
(2014) is actually the Air Force Year as we rotate a
service every year, eg. last year (2013) was the Navy
lead, 2015 will be the Army lead.
Come on you " Brylcream boys" - where are you ?????
Any person willing to act as the Nov 11th celebration
Leader can contact me for info at 1947.
