brought food, to all Sonny's friends. It was wonderful to know that you all loved him so much. We will never

45's Card Game: Over the next few months many people from our community, along with friends from nearby
will gather on Saturday evening for a lucky chance at 45's. More importantly a great social event with friends.
Whatever the reason, this regular event has been a tremendous financial help to the expenses of our center. To
continue preparing for the game every Saturday there is always the chore of setting up the tables and clean up
afterward. People also enjoy the food hospitality each week. Items needed are stir sticks, napkins, styrofoam
cups, sugar packets, soda pop, paper plates, sandwiches, sweets. Anyone wishing to make a contribution of any
of these items or help in any other way can contact Blanche or Stevie. We thank you for
your support and hope that all will enjoy another fun-filled season oflaughter and fellowship.

Our Voice is needed! Development and Peace -- The official international development agency of the
Canadian Catholic Church invites all Canadian Catholics to put ourfaith in action, by supporting communities
in the Global South (Africa, Asia and Latin America) in their struggle for dignity andjustice. Canadian mining
companies operating these places have been implicated in cases of human rights and environmental violations.
They must be called to account by our govemment. At the masses next weekend an action letter and more
information will be distributed. By signing this letter, we are asking our government: --to refuse Canadian
government support to mining companies that do not respect international environmental and human rights
standards; -- to develop legal mechanisms that ensure mining companies are held accountable for their actions
in the Global South. Your voice can help.
