Tolerance means being free of
prejudice and accepting differences.
Tolerance is the virtue being studied

On her return trip she was able to
visit Cambodia and see Ankor Wat.
The Ambassador of the Fair,
Nicole Lowe gave a report on her
activities to date. These included
everything from speaking to service
groups to attending the Royal
Winter Fair. Lowe has maintained a
busy schedule despite driving to
London several days each week to
attend classes.
Secretary-treasurer Sheana
Campbell noted in her financial
report that prize money was up this
year as more entries were received
in most exhibit categories.
It was also felt that the replace
ment of a formal entrance charge
with a voluntary donation had
worked well and the membership
decided to continue the idea in the
future.
After a discussion it was decided
that commercial exhibitors would
be charged a fee of $20 per space.
Community groups would continue
to receive space at no charge.
The membership of the fair com
mittees was finalized and the 2003
executive was elected. The presi
dent is David Perrie with Merv
Bauer as vice-president. Elizabeth
De Wit is the president of^ the
Homecraft division and Campbell is
the secretary-treasurer.
