fulfilled. She said "If WI members
are clever enough to discover a
problem then WI women are clever
enough to find a solution. The
person with dreams is more
powerful than those with just facts.
The only limitations are in the
mind. Those with a dream will take
action to bring it to reality. Act,
don't stagnate! "To live big dreams
you must realize them and we are
what we repeatedly choose to do.
Even though the WI is losing
branches and members, others will
come along to keep us growing."
Marjory Humphries thanked
Irene and presented her wiih a gift
of appreciation crafted by new
District President JSharon Agla.

few numbers and soloist, Margaret
Mclnroy, sang We Rise Again. All

During the last election the people of
Huron-Bruce voted to support me,
Paul Steckle, to represent you in
Canada’s Parliament. I was entrusted
with the duty to act on your behalf in
Ottawa. At that lime, my commitment
to you was Priority...the people. Over
the course of my mandate I have
endeavoured to fulfill that obligation.
As our country prepares to enter 1
the 21st century, interest rates and
inflation are low and our economy is
growing faster than that of any other nation. We have made
substantial progress, however, there is still much more to do.
With your assistance we can meet tomorrow’s challenges together.
I would be honoured if you would re-elect me to serve as your
voice in our Nation's capital. To that end, I would reaffirm my
commitment to you. My priority, first and foremost, is the
constituents of Huron-Bruce.
