HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 2008-12-04, Page 29The Auburn Women’s Institute
held its November meeting at the
Auburn Hall on Nov. 20.
President, Erma Cartwright,
opened the meeting with Ode, Mary
Stewart Collect and O’ Canada.
Donations were made to the
Christian Blind Mission, Water
Festival and Children’s Aid Society.
Margaret Siertsema, convenor of
Agriculture and Canadian
Industries, introduced the guest
speaker for the afternoon, Greg
McClinchey. He gave a very
informative talk on agriculture and
shared many interesting and
educational facts on the food that we
eat.
Erin Roy, granddaughter of Jewel
Plunkett was the guest speaker at
Huron Chapel’s Coffee House on
Sunday, Nov. 23. She spoke of her
experience as an Olympic torch
bearer in China this past summer and
shared pictures and stories about her
adventure. Her opportunity to be a
torch bearer was done as a memorial
to her late uncle, Detective Const.
Robert Plunkett and her presentation
certainly honoured his life and
accomplishments.
As Erin carried her Olympic torch
in August she was cheered on the by
members of her and Rob’s family
that made the journey to China with
her.
Rob grew up in Auburn and is
certainly missed by family, friends,
co-workers and his community.
THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2008. PAGE 29.
The Auburn Seniors met on
Wednesday, Nov. 19 at the home of
Tena Empey and enjoyed a potluck
lunch.
Following lunch, Brock and Janis
Vodden entertained the group with
pictures and stories of Blyth and
Auburn. They showed pictures of the
changes that have taken place to the
main street of Blyth and many of the
former business owners throughout
the years.
The Voddens also showed pictures
of old buildings at the fairgrounds
before the new arena was built, the
starting of the turnip plant in Blyth,
the coming of the railway and the re-
routing of the creek.
They shared some history on the
hardware store in Auburn that was
once owned by Tom Johnston.
It was a very interesting and
informative time enjoyed by
everyone.
Well done
Atotal of 1,599 shoebox gifts were received at Huron Chapel by Nov. 29 and taken to Waterloo
Processing Centre. This is an increase of 58 boxes over last year. Envira-North Systems
donated a trailer to transport the items. An additional 240 boxes were collected and delivered
by local groups. Organizers were pleased by the support for needy children, particularly by the
generosity of Goderich District Collegiate Institute, Colborne Public School and St. Mary’s
Catholic School. (Photo submitted)
The sympathy of the community is
extended to Aime and Yvonne
Labrie on the passing of Aime’s
mom recently.
Sympathy also goes out to Tammy
Labrie-Poels.
Welcome home to Joel Scott and
best wishes for a speedy recovery.
The Scott family is very appreciative
for all the support they have received
from the community over the past
couple weeks.
