HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 2015-10-29, Page 34A small turnout of Walkerburn Club members met at the home of Ila Cunningham on Sept. 21. Vera Penfound was president of the month and opened with readings, “Green Things” and “Points to Ponder”, followed by prayer and The Lord’s Prayer. Ila Cunningham gave the treasurer’s report. It was moved that the group make donations to the Clinton, Goderich, Seaforth and Wingham hospitals. Roll call was answered by something you did over the summer, plus dues. Maggie Treanor had a very interesting program, including a mixed-up fruits and vegetable contest. The next meeting is Oct. 19 at the home of Eileen McClinchey with Mag as president of the month. The program will be handled by Christena and Eileen will serve lunch. Ila served a delicious lunch of angel cake, strawberries and whip cream. Fall is my favourite time of year. I love the weather, the colours, the smell of wood burning fireplaces in the air and the Auburn Village Pumpkin Party. Once again, kids, parents, and grandparents came together last Saturday and carved pumpkins to put on display. The Auburn Horticultural Society always does a great job hosting this event for the people in Auburn and area. The Wawanosh 4-H Club was back helping with crafts, cupcake decorating and playing games with the kids. It is always good to come together as a village and chat with people you know and to meet some people you don’t around the holidays, whatever the occasion may be. PAGE 34. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2015. Getting in the spirit The Auburn Horticultural Society worked hard again to pull together the Auburn village pumpkin party on the weekend. Above, Emily Datema of Auburn spent her time playing with some Lego and ‘looking’ like a pumpkin, while below, Bailey Hamp, also of Auburn, decided she would rather put her time into making a jack-o-lantern.
