(Ashiey Gropp photo) Guild meets in church parlour A Note from Betty Summer is officially here, June 21, the longest day of the year formally announces summer. I’m never sure what I should do on June 22 since it’s felt like summer for a month. The high school gang are doing exams this week then it’s on to summer - memories and a yearbook for their work. Good luck in your next venture. Glenna Stephens missed her Brussels friends and we’re pleased she’s taken up life at Huronlea. Welcome Glenna. It seems to me June is Family Reunion Month, in many venues, at various times and always with good food. It’s one of those deals that improve as you age. At certain ages you kids actually enjoy reunions as the stories of your youth unfold, in only the manner that family can tell. Hope yours is a good one - full of great memories. It’s definitely time to smell the roses - there are many colours and types to admire this week. The June meeting of Melville Church Women’s guild was held in the church parlour with Jeanne Ireland and Isobel Gibson in charge of the devotions part of the meeting. Jeanne Ireland read Psalm 39: 4 followed by a paper on “Aging”. To live to a ripe old age, just don’t die. Try to be mature enough to age with grace and be contented and happy. Man looks at outward appearance but God looks at heart. Isobel Gibson led in prayer which was followed by the singing of Simply Trusting Everyday. June being the month to celebrate Father’s Day. Mrs. Gibson read a story entitled “How Father Came to be King for a Day”. She also read a thought-provoking topic on “other Times and Other Ways” which brought back many memories to all those present. Mrs. Ireland closed this part of the meeting with a poem, “A Smile Says a Lot”. Alice Marks, president, opened the business part of the meeting with a poem entitled, “Garden Musings”. Sympathy was extended to Helen Elliott on the passing of her sister-in-law, Wilma Elliott. Leona Armstrong gave the secretary’s report and Jeanne Ireland the treasurer’s report. Bye now, Betty G. Majestic takes mystery tour The June meeting of Majestic Women’s Institute took the form of a mystery tour. Kathy Bridge and Ruth Bauer were the organizers. In the morning of June 9 the members had a conducted tour of Terry Brandon’s home on William Street. This was most interesting. Terry is to be commended for restoring this heritage home. The members then drove to Seaforth where they had lunch and a short meeting at Sparky’s. Members who are planning to have meals at the Area Convention should pay for them now. The WI members are interested in helping to clean up the roadsides. Happy Birthday was sung to members having a birthday in June, July and August. The next stop on the Mystery Tour was at Kountry Essence, three miles east of Londesboro. Lynn Depati had every scent in a candle you could think of. This was very interesting and the tour was over. It was very much enjoyed by all. ID needed to donate blood Continued from page 1 needed a lung and heart transplant. “Right now we are recruiting all blood types, especially O Rh negative because it is the universal group that can be given to anyone in an emergency and this is the time of year when there are increased vehicle accidents where victims may require as much as three body replacements of blood within 24 hours.
