Page 9 There are no attendants now, of course - courteous or otherwise, and no building, either for it was destroyed by fire many years ago. Over the years, thousands of its visitors had looked down in wonderment upon the twinkling lights that v/ere the City of Vancouver at night. Over in Hollyburn, my sister and I had looked up to the light on the mountain with similar wonderment for we grew up in the unshakeable belief that Grouse was the North Pole and the Chalet, Santa's workshop. When it burned to the ground, more than a building went up in smoke. WELCOME NEW MEMBERS November and December brought in a flurry of members the majority of them being in the Gift category. Remember Mrs. Clarke of Thornhill, Ontario? - the lady v;ho requested a membership application for herself plus extras so that she could give memberships to "friends from West Van who are far away in miles but not in heart."? Well, we hit the jackpot, for Pat (Hodgson) Clarke not only joined but joined as a Lifetime member and her gift memberships are going to expatriates: Russell (Rusty) Bridges of Thornhill, Mrs. Joan (Soudan) Rogers of Toronto, Lloyd Vance of Mississauga, Mrs. June (Clarke) Stevens of Victoria and Mrs. Betty (Kennedy) Pearce of Bermuda .... names familiar to quite a few of us. Thanks to Mrs. Kay Meek, Miss Pat Wallace of West Vancouver is a new member and George (Ted) Baynes has roped in son Duncan of the Deer Creek Ranch, Hanceville, B. C. Mrs. Rita J. Valley of West Van, Mrs. Betty Armstrong of North Van and Miss Christina R. Andrews of Vancouver are also recent joiners. The year wound up with yet another Gift membership - Mrs. Betty (Wrightmyer) Waterton of Sidney compliments of Norma (Minions) Hamilton. Some of you may recognize Betty Waterton as being the author of the "Rumpel" book series for children. The tally for new members in 1990 stands at 57 and 1991 is already underway with Mrs. Joan (Sharman) McFadden of Nanaimo, Mrs. F. Hazel Baldwin of West Vancouver and Miss Jane E.
