Since it was a nice evening, we sat on their deck. Our leaders Glenda and Martha Murray had already set up some herbs for us to look at and to identify, which we did later on in the meeting. The meeting started with the roll call. Next we moved on to reading the minutes which the secretary did for us. We also filled out a cross- word on some familiar herbs in our manuals. All 10 mem- bers were given large amounts of herbs and other plants. We closed the meeting and had a snack of crackers, cheese and juice. P BIG GUY BACK - Scott Driscoll, a Seaforth native, was spotted in town last week pushing his son Ryan about in a stroller in the sunshine. Driscoll worked five games in the first round of the recent Stanley Cup playoffs, and says things are going well. Scotty lives in Guelph now. He was visiting his parents for the day while his wife, who is a teacher, was at a conference in Quebec. Busy month but residents ready for more outdoors Hello everyone.
