PHOTO SY DAVID SCOTT MEMBERS SINCE 1928 - Women's Institutes across the province celebrated the 100th anniversary of the organization this past week; From left: Dorothy Townsend, Eva McCartney and Thelma Dale have been members of the Seaforth Women's Institute since it was founded in 1928. Thelma Dale is the only active charter member. W.I. reflects on 100th anniversary Seaforth Women's Institute held its Feb. 19 meeting at Northside United Church. The meeting opened with the singing of the WI Centennial song. Doris Hugill welcomed everyone and the opening ode and the Mary Stewart collect were repeated. Roll call was answered by 14 members and nine guests. Minutes of the first meeting of the Institute held in 1897 at Stoney Creek and the Seaforth Women's Institute first meeting minutes (Christmas 1929) were read. The Women's Institute has had 100 years with many changes. They put the bread wrappers on the bread, paint- ed lines on the highways, the flashing lights on the school buses. Remember all those knitted squares which we have sent' to Zambia and the Women's Institute money raised to buy pigs and goats in Uganda. We. also support the children who were orphaned because of Aids. Most of our members have no idea of the influence that the Women's Institute has on government and other organi- zations. We are represented at the United Nations as a non governmental organization through the Associated Country Women of the World. We have a lot to offer the women in our communi- ties. Let's offer it. Stand up and be proud to be a member of the best organization in the world in this centennial year. The annual meeting is scheduled for April 8. We have one charter mem- ber Thelma Dale who has been a member for 69 years. Eva McCartney and Dorothy Townsend were members when Seaforth formed their institute in 1928. Helen MacKenzie gave some of the highlights of the Institute. The meeting was turned over to Gladys Doig and Marjorie Rock. Marjorie Rock read a reading "Branching Out". Gladys Doig and the rest of the members gave readings for this IOOth year. We had some of our 4-H leaders help us to celebrate our 100 years. The meeting was adjourned and lunch was served by Marion Gordon, Marjorie Rock, Jessie McGregor, Betty Hulley and Evelyn Carter.
