Auburn UCW celebrate 30th anniversary
The 30th Anniversary of the
Auburn U.C.W. was held at Knox
United Church on Tuesday, April
21 at 8 p.m. A 30th anniversary
reading by Ruth Armstrong opened
the meeting. A Psalm reading of
the same scripture used in the first
U.C.W. meeting followed. The
hymn “Joyful, Joyful We Adore
Thee” was sung.
Linda Plaetzer spoke about the
joining of the W.M.S. and W.A. in
1962 and how the spirit of the
U.C.W. purpose is still alive.
Things have changed through the
years but channels have always
been open to carry on.
She called Marjorie McDougall
to the front. Marjorie had been
W.A. President back in 1962 and
Violet Dumin the president of the
W.M.S. So they became co-Presi-
dents of the new U.C.W. then. Due
to illness Violet was regrettably
unable to attend. Marjorie spoke of
events through the years. She spoke
of the joining of Methodist and
Presbyterian churches in 1925 and
of the beginning of the W.A. in
1952. Mrs. Washington, the minis
ter's wife at that time started it.

Marjorie spoke on he work of the
W.A., catering to wedding recep
tions and bridal showers in the
church.
The W.M.S. still worked for
World Missions. When the U.C.W.
formed in 1962 there were about 60
members. They formed units with a
regular monthly meeting together.
Gradually units went down to two
and finally all together in one for
regular monthly meeting. However,
size is not everything and the
U.C.W. is still active. Marjorie
spoke of the various projects, Chil
dren's Aid, Missions, Quilting Bees
and upkeep of the Church and
Social Services. She also spoke of
some special events - a wonderful
quilt show and two bridal shows
through the years. She was then
asked to cut the beautiful anniver
sary cake which was on display.
The co-president Marilyn Ver-
beek spoke on the U.C.W. of today.
Christ was a missionary of God and
we now have the opportunity to
take up the missions at home and
abroad. God is with us and for the
world.
Marilyn spoke of the various
banners made by talented members
and of the photo album which all
could enjoy. She spoke of the East
er baskets which are made yearly
and delivered to shut-ins and at
Huronview.
Along the east wall were tables
loaded with beautiful layette work.
Jean Plaetzer who is in charge of
the layette work then spoke. She
told of the handiwork going to
Children's Aid Society and how
gratefully it is received. Some of
the articles are donated to the
Teddy Bear Auction which will be
held in May this year. One quilt
donated last year sold for $250 and
that money went for work against
child abuse. Jean thanked all who
had so willingly knitted, crocheted
and quilted.
Laura Mae Chamney told of the
circumstances that led to the writ
ing of the song “The Mansion Just
Over The Hilltop”. With Bernice
Gross as accompanist she sang the
inspiring song. Ruth Armstrong
read a poem by Helen Steiner Rice
“Give Unselfishly” and led in
prayer.
Offering was received by Maxine
Seers and Jean Plaetzer and dedi
cated by Ruth. Members were treat
ed to a U.C.W. skit which showed
the need and the work of the
U.C.W. Joyce Bean was the fortune
teller, Elva Armstrong the U.C.W.
president, Ann Vincent the minister
and Darlene Empey, a newcomer.
This was thoroughly enjoyed.
“Take My Life” was sung and
Linda closed with prayer. The
anniversary cake and ice cream
were served. It was a pleasure to
have hosted Londesboro U.C.W.
and a number of former members
from Blyth and Goderich.
