What’s Happening in the Units!<br />

<strong>Mocha</strong> Love Bugs<br />

Another year has passed and here we are<br />

in <strong>2010</strong> already. Once again we enjoyed a<br />

successful year selling the “Christmas<br />

Goodies” and promoting Shrinedom.<br />

Sincere thanks to all Love Bug members<br />

for their help at Elgin Mall and especially<br />

to Harold Fowler for his excellent<br />

organizing skills at the Mall. He has been<br />

doing this for our unit for approximately 20 years now<br />

and we thank him for his dedication. Herb Coleman<br />

once again was the “Super Salesman” of the unit. We<br />

don't know how he does it but he is tops in Cake sales<br />

once again. Mark Walker stores and delivers the cakes<br />

as well as keeps our “Bugs” in fine running order. Doug<br />

Walker does an excellent job organizing and obtaining<br />

Parades. Roy Pickard is our excellent secretary.<br />

President Harry Hewbank guided us through another<br />

successful year of parades and events and chaired our<br />

wonderful Christmas Party held in conjunction with the<br />

Clown Unit in St. Thomas. He has passed the<br />

President's gavel to Ross Crawford for this coming<br />

year. We pledge our support to Ross. I know we will<br />

continue to enjoy the fun and fellowship of this fine<br />

unit.<br />

We were all saddened at the passing of a long time and<br />

devoted member, Ed Banghart of St. Thomas. Our<br />

thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.<br />

Regular monthly breakfast meetings are held on the<br />

first Saturday of every month, except January and<br />

<strong>February</strong>, at the New Sarum Diner where else but in<br />

downtown New Sarum. If you are interested in<br />

becoming a member or just want to find out more about<br />

us please contact Ross Crawford (President) at<br />

519-425-1966 or Roy Pickard (Secretary) at 519-773-<br />
