IODE Maple Leaf Chapter Afternoon Tea CONTINUED FROM > PAGE 4 Kathleen Smith Goderich Signal Star To honour past Regents and an afternoon to reminisce, the ladies of the IODE Maple Leaf Chapter of Goderich gathered for an After- noon Tea event. Hosted at past Regent and active member Nancy Hughes' home, 11 past regents enjoyed an afternoon of memories, recognition, tea and tasty treats. Of the 11 past -regents in attend- ance at the Afternoon Tea event, eight remain active in the Chapter. "I think it's good for us to remi- nisce on past successes and things that happened during each of their time serving as Regent," said Hughes. According to Hughes and several other members of the IODE, the community service group used to host an Afternoon Tea every June, and the Goderich Chapter is now re -introducing this tradition. The IODE Maple Leaf Chapter in Goderich currently has 13 active members who are all past Regents. According to Hughes, the Chap- ter has a certain protocol to follow when in a meeting, fundraising or hosting events. The past Regents, who are active, can remind the cur- rent members of past successes, or they can attend an Afternoon Tea where they, like others who have gone before them, are honoured for their success and work for the community. "I think events, like this, really strengthens the Chapter," said Hughes.
