Lasagna Supper was a huge success!!! Lots happening these days!

We had a wonderful turnout for the Hall's Harbour FundyView community hall Supper yesterday - as always, the food was too good to be true - meaty, cheesy zesty lasagna and a fresh spring green salad with subtle vinaigrette dressing accompanied by homemade bread, followed by a delicious and light dessert of cake with lemon sauce.

Fundy View wishes to thank everyone who helped to make the event such a success. Final figures are not quite tabulated yet, but it appears around $800 was realized to support the hall.

Everyone went home happy after seeing old friends and making some new ones, while enjoying the pleasant ambience the hall offers. The 50/50 draw was well subscribed and was won by Gary Cleveland of Kentville - Gary owns and operates Clevelands Decorating Centre on River Street. The raffle basket filled with lovely goodies was won by Ted Van Tight - Ted and his wife Fabienne are newcomers to Hall's Harbour and Fabienne will be operating The Copper Fox Gallery ( http://copperfoxgallery.com/on Hwy 359, within walking distance of the hall. Welcome to the community, Fabienne and Ted!

The rain - constant rain you could call it - has left a lot of standing water around, and Gerry Dickie has been busy raking and filling depressions and moving gravel with the help of Greg Sanford and his tractor - Greg's help was very much appreciated - thanks so much Greg. It's people like him who in volunteering for jobs like that help us so much!  Small communities are run on good will and volunteerism.

 In addition to that chore, Gerry added  temporary grab bars  to the inside and outside doorframe of the new entry to help people who have mobility issues, as there is a temporary wheelchair ramp which can be a bit difficult to negotiate. It will be there  until such time as we can access the funding to lower the doorsill to allow for a completely barrier free entrance - that is in the works, and the first step was to replace the old door with a wider one that will make access easier for those in wheelchairs.

The next Board of Directors meeting for Fundy View Community Society will be held on Thursday March 19, 2011 at the Hall - at 7:30.

We have had a very busy month of May - with a variety concert on April 30, a benefit for friend and neighbour Bob Vaughanon May 7, and the supper yesterday.

Next weekend we are looking forward to another variety concert hosted by Carroll Edwards - Carroll's shows are always a big draw and much enjoyed.
 Look for the poster and all the details in a day or two right here!
Until then - so long for now!

Hall's Harbour Fundyview Community Hall: A new season

The Hall's Harbour Fundyview Community Hall opened for the 2010 season with a Lasagna Supper on Saturday April 17. The opportunity to see friends and neighbours after a long winter was irresistable and the supper was a great success. Lots of old friends, and new faces too. In keeping with the policy of setting costs for participants as low as possible, admission was by freewill offering.

A couple of pictures  above show servers ready to plate the first dinners , and then an overview of guests starting to gather around the serving table.

Plans are currently being made to do some interior touch up painting and some minor repair of weathering on the siding and fascia boards, and the Board of Directors is currently prioritizing and costing needed updates to maintain and improve the hall.
The hall is available for bookings for weddings, family gatherings, reunions, parties, and educational and recreational purposes.
Contact Carrie Dickie  mailto:g.c.dickie@xcountry.tv for details.

Check again early next week for details about the Variety Show being offered next Saturday.
