Here you'll find the best deal on a week- day lunch anywhere — only $2.50 for fresh home made soup, a sandwich and dessert between the hours of 11:45 am. and 1 p.m. Then there’s the first Saturday every month, on which you can start your day with a pancake breakfast anytime between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. And there are special occa- sions too, at least once every month. Coming soon are the Robbie Burns dinner which begins at 6 p.m. on Jan. 25 (there’s a chance you just might see the Terrace Pipes and Drums pipe in the haggis) and just for you and that some- one special a Valentine's Din- ner at 6 p.m. on Feb. 15. Later in the year there’s the Happy Gang Anniversary Dinner, the Hallowe’en Potluck and a Christmas Dinner and Party. Most of these events are priced at only six dollars. . Preparing all this food, of course, is a monumental task for Happy Gang volunteers. But it’s a task that’s rapidly - becoming much easier. Using money raised through lunches, suppers, bazaars and other events, as well as a generous donation from 4 local resident who wishes to remain anony- mous, the centre offers a com- pletely revamped kitchen 50 percent larger than what existed before. By adding eight feet to the rear of the building, the Happy Gang kitchen now measures 14x24 feet and boasts a new stove and grill and venting system, a four-door and two- door cooler as well as a freezer unit, and a commercial dish- washer, toaster and five-pot coffee maker. Presently in the works are 4 variety of counters and cupboards, a 4x10 foot island andthe installation of a commercial deep fryer. Fri- day’s luncheon fare may soon include fish and chips. It took more than moncy to make these changes, though. As is the case with the kitchen help, all these additions and improvements were done by Happy Gang volunteers, mem- bers of the Old Age Pensioners Organization Branch #73. You too can make a difference at the Happy Gang Centre. They’re looking for new mem- bers and it’s open to anyone between the ages of 19 and 90... and older, Membership costs only $5 per year and if you’re 50 or more you can run for office. If the food isn’t enough to encourage you to join, how about these activities to help you work up an appetite: bingo, darts, carpet bowling, ; shuffle board, pool, bridge, cribbage, card games, sewing, quilting, a choral group and teas are all on the weekly agenda. In addition to these there is a small library com- plete with books, stereo, tele- vision set and video machine as well as annual bus tours, picnics and moonwalks. The newly revamped Happy Gang kitchen will help the group carry a tradition. Every Saturday from 8 to 11 am. there’s a pancake breakfast that only costs $3.50 for adults and $2.00 for children. That’s a great bargain and you may want to take advan- tage of it every Saturday morm- ing but there is one very special pancake breakfast you should mark your calendar. February 2 is the day of the official dedication for the centre’s bigger and better kit- chen facility, and at 10 a.m. 6 - plaque will be unveiled offer- ing recognition to someone very special, For more informa- tion phone the Happy Gang Centre at 635-9090.
