The theme of this year’s event is “Support your commun- ity and your community will support you.” Some unique goods, services and talents are up for grabs at this year’s Glebe Centre GST Auction. Bid on a home-cooked dinner party for eight. If you win, there’s no need to tell your guests that someone else did all the work. The se- cret will be between you and Alice Hinther. She’s donating her time and talent to play chef for the lucky bidder. “I’ll deliver it hot, on platters,” she explains. “There’ll be no Styrofoam!” Hinther is well known to the Glebe community and is a frequent helper for Abbotsford fundraisers. She’s a local artist who also teaches baking classes at the Glebe Community Centre. “The dinner for eight will include a starter, salad, a meal with dessert…there will be a menu to choose from. I do like mak- ing desserts and I’m known for my bread. Thai chicken is also a favourite, but I love to experiment!” says Hinther. Hinther is just one of several local people donating time or items for the auc- tion. Jim McKeen of McKeen’s Loeb in the Glebe is setting a ‘practical tone’ by donating a generous gift certificate of $500 worth of groceries. The gift certificate will be raffled off; tickets will be $.99 and will sell at the event at Abbotsford and at the Glebe Centre. The draw itself will take place on June 6. Other local businesses have donated various gift certificates and there will be beautiful jewellery and local artwork up for auction. Bhat Boy has donated ‘Joy’ which he painted in 2003 for his mother: (he) “has donated the paint- ing to Abbotsford in memory of the many hours of activities that Jean used Oxygen 3 Air Cleaner to spend at Abbotsford, particularly playing Scrabble.” In fact, organizers say there’s a special focus on local this year. “We are one big community and we Area Served : 326 sq. ft need to look out for one another,” notes Abbotsford facilitator, Pat Goyeche.

Continued from page 1 meets President Obama Once word got out about the student parties, parents and fellow teachers began hiring Bruce and the Burgers for fêtes where they played in party rooms and Legion halls. Many of the band’s “customers” were other teachers, as well as denizens of the Glebe. Jim McKeen, for example, hired the band to play a fundraiser at First Avenue Public School. Bruce MacGregor coached Jim McKeen in football at Glebe. Tiny planet! The band has played at Mutchmor and at Hopewell School in Ottawa South. Its first really big gig however, was again at the Civic Centre but this time on the big stage. The band’s first big gig happened in 1989 when the Ottawa Board of Education held “Celebration ‘89” and hired Bruce and the Burgers to play the entire Civic Centre, with big sound, bright lights and sophisticated logistics. A big dance area was set up and once the band got going, the crowd surged forward, down the aisles on all OUZA sides of the hall and didn’t sit down for the rest of the night. That’s what this S band evokes in otherwise meek and mild-mannered folk. While teaching fulltime, Bruce and his musical compatriots played 30 to 35 times a year in the early nineties. Nowadays they play three to four times a PHOTO: PETE year, always to sold-out houses and hordes of tingling feet at the end of a non- Poised and collected, Jessica is seen in this photo having a very coherent con- stop dancefest evening.
