Thelma Dale, a char- tered member, still takes an active interest in the branch. Early in 1997 they will cel- ebrate their 69th anniversary as well as Federated Women's Institute of Ontario centennial celebration. Members are aware that the need for the organization is as great now as it was in 1897. At the turn of -the century, co-founders Adelaide Hoodless and Erland Lee saw the nccd for an organization to allow "rural women to dis- cuss their problems and work together to improve their standard of homemaking and citizenship." Today W.I. members lobby for improved laws, provide leadership training for both members and non-mcmhcrs and educate through work- shops in food nutrition and crafts. They encourage com- munity mcmhcrs to work together to find solutions to societal problems and encourage citizens to accept responsibility for their actions and their surround- ings. The Seaforth branch spon- sors three 411 Homemaking McKillop #1 4-H and Life Skill clubs, and are justly proud of their 41-1 lead- ers and club members. In 1995 - The Huron County Women's Institute Scholarship was presented to Karen Vansteeland RR 4 Seaforth. In 1996 to Janet Van de Hoven of RR 4 Seaforth. For the past several years two main money projects have been a Lottery on a homemade quilt, afghan handy -work of Thelma Dale , a food voucher and a cour- tesy food booth at Seaforth Fair on the Thursday. It is through the generosity of the community supporting them the branch is able to support three Homemaking 41-1 Clubs, local undertakings like Huron Hiker Tour, Santa Clause Parade, Lions Park and Pool, Wreath on Nov. 11, South Western Children's Hospital, Huron County Children's Aid bursary, Seaforth Hospital, Remembering sick and shut - ins, Bereaved, other local charities and always ready to help in local disasters.
