The wedding and reception went ahead in St. Martin’s church hall, and all the neighbors around the Mason home in the 100-block East Carisbrooke brought potluck for the wedding dinner. The bride's mother, Maggie Mason, said that the family had planned to hold the wedding in a nearby park, with. the reception happening in neighbors’ gardens. Instead, inclement weather forced wedding them to bring nature indoors, and neighborhood chiidren held arches of flowers for the couple to walk under in the church hall. “t's a unique kind of block,” said Maggie Mason, noting that her neighbors usually organize a block party every year. She and husband Peter Mason have lived in their East Carisbrooke home for six years. Bride Anita Mason went. to North Vancouver High and Carson Graham, and now resides in Van- couver. The couple honeymooned for two days in Whistler. . Photo submitted EVERYONE CELEBRATED at the Sept. 24 wedding of Anita Mason and John Wojcik.

Nablo and Price say the dinners are fast, nutritious and designed to appeal! to children’s tastes. Locals launch unique frozen dinners for kids A FRIENDSHIP formed at a prenata!? class two years ago has led to a budding business for Edgemont Village resident Susan Nablo and former local resident Dale Price. The pair have just launched a first-of-its-kind product — micro- wave frozen dinners for children called Total Kids Kuisine —- that is unique to the: North American market. Nablo said the idea for the pro- duct arose following the birth of her daughter, Bricann, and Price's daughter, Jennica. When the two mothers would meet for lunch, their toddlers would “hang on their legs,” and want their own lunch right then and there. “*When kids want to eat, it’s in- stantaneous,’’ said Nablo. Both mothers wished there was some fast, convenient — and nutritious — way they could feed their children at times like those. From the birth of the concept a year ago, the two women have taken the product through market- local and by ing, design and numerous testing stages to the point where they are now signing contracts with all the major supermarkets on the North Shore. ‘‘It’s been a lot of hard work,”’ said Nablo, who just gave birth to her second daughter, Shelbie, last month. The four meals offered were developed with the help of a nutri- tionist, and are designed to appeal to kids between two and eight years old. The meals, which have no preservatives or additives, were tested in different age groups by children gathered by JMP Market- ing Services, and by young ac- quaintances of Nablo and Price. The art on the package, designed 112 East 15th, North vancouver 980-0911 980-6914 photo Mike Wakelield at DRC Packaging in Vancouver, was done by a child. ‘*‘We wanted it to be totally different from anything else. iu the freezer sec- tion,” said Nablo. Nablo says that although the frozen dinners -—— which are ready after five minutes in the microwave —- will appeal to the growing nurter of mothers in the paid worktorce, “it’s not just directed towards one certain type of per- son.”” All parents, she says, will find the quick meals handy. ‘‘The feedback has all been positive. They want them in the stores now.”” The dinners, which each include entree, vegetable and dessert, in- clude Chicken Ocdles of Noodles, Macaroni and Cheese, Spaghetti Delight and Beef Stew Ragout, and are sized for children’s appetites. Total Kids Kuisine will bz available in the stores by mid-November. YOU'LL LGOK GREAT THIS WINTER!
