Members are to trace one of them and sew another one on the sewing machine without thread in the machine. These are also to be included in the books as illustration.

Members looked at different seams in the clothes they were wearing. Members are to include examples of a plain seam on three different weights of material in their book.

(16cky Bremner photo) Hullett Marsh offers March break programs The Friends of Hullett are offering two programs to help get children ages six to 12 outdoors during the upcoming March break. The programs will take place at the Hullett Marsh, home to dozens of different species of native birds and a significant feeding and rest stop on the migration routes of North American waterfowl. Our Feathered Friends will give young people a firsthand opportunity to discover wild birds, both those that make the marsh a year-round home and others just passing through on their way to summer breeding grounds. It is possible that the annual tundra swan migration will be in full swing giving children a chance to see hundreds of these majestic birds as they rest and feed at Hullett. The Nature Art and Hike encourages young people to express their creativity while exploring their natural surroundings. "Young people have a natural curiosity about the outdoors," said Sandra Johnstone the education co-ordinator at the Hullett Marsh. "This program is designed to allow them to express that interest and curiosity through pictures." The programs are being offered on Wednesday, March 17 and Friday, March 19. They will run from 10 a.m. to 12 noon and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. each day. The order will be reversed each day to allow those who can only come in the morning or afternoon to enjoy both opportunities. If a child is attending both sessions on one day they should bring a lunch and whatever snacks they need. The Friends of Hullett ask that you register prior to bringing your children to the programs. Anyone wanting to register or receive further information please contact Sandra at 519-482-7011. There is no charge for these activities although donations are always welcome.
