The Children of the UniverseDay Care Center held a family funnight and BBQ in the park onJune 12th. The evening was veryentertaining for all who attended.Attendees enjoyed train rides,

bubbles, food, a silentauction, face paintingand musicians. Thefundraiser was a success.Lots of families came outto take part including theSte. Anne Auxiliary whocame out to cook the hotdogs. The Ste. Anne Po-lice showed up with flash-ing lights and informedthe children they needed their assistance in finding a “bad guy” who was on theloose. The children found him hiding on the other side of the park... chased himdown and held him on the ground until the police caught up so the kids couldplace him in handcuffs. The children walked the “criminal” back to the police carand put him inside. They were all very proud to have helped in the staged arrest.

Ste. Anne was host to its Second annual community garage sale on June 21st.The town was filled with garage sales on almost every street and there was no lackof bargain hunters as Ste. Anne was one busy little town. Organizer Melanie Gamache started the idea last year when she noticed othertowns had a community sale except for Ste. Anne. She took some time to put it alltogether creating posters, maps and distributing them throughout Ste. Anne andneighboring communities to attract people to come and shop. “It doesn’t costanything to get your sale put on the map, just send an email or give me a call andthat’s it! I hope next year the community is more aware of the event and we geteven more sales on the map and more people shopping,” said Gamache. During the community event a BBQ fundraiser was held organized by Cathleen

Roy. The funds raised were given to the Ste. Anne Knights of Co-lumbus (KOC). She invited families from the surrounding area toset up in her yard to make this a must-stop during the day. Sheorganized a playground, face painting and henna tattoos onsite - you could have a bite to eat and shop while your kids wereentertained. “I can’t believe what a success the fundraiser turned out tobe again this year. We ended up raising $350 to go to theKOC. Everything was donated for this event and I would liketo thank everyone who donated hotdogs, buns, drinks and

condiments. Ialso want tothank everyonewho came outfor some lunchto support this.We hope nextyear is evenbetter,” saidRoy.

A Little Laugh... An 80-year old man walks into the doctor’s office for hisregular check-up.The doctor says to him, “Ahh, Ted, how are you feeling?” “Great,” says the old man. “I have an 18-year old wife, andshe’s pregnant with my child.”The doctor gives a concerned look and says, “Ted, let me tellyou a story. See, I have this hunter friend and one early morn-ing, he goes out hunting, but is in such a hurry that he grabs hisumbrella instead of his gun. So, as he is hunting, he spots alion. He aims at the lion with his umbrella and shoots at it. Bam!The lion falls dead to the ground.” “What?!” cries the old man. “Why? that’s impossible!Someone else must have shot the lion.” “Exactly!” says the doctor.
