History of the Clandeboye Women's Institute 1970 -1982 The Clandeboye Women's Institute was February 19, 1907 at Mooresville and was called the Mooresville Women's In- stitute. The first president was Miss Elizabeth Grundy. Mrs. Ellison Hodgins, vice president and Mrs. Gordon Bloomfield, secretary treasurer. On Sept. 3, 1913, the name was changed to Clandeboye Women's Institute, with Mrs. H. Windsor as president, Miss Grundy, secretary. During the early years of organization, donations for medical inspections of schools was given and Red Cross work was carried on under the direction of Mrs. John McNaughton. The women knitted sox, made shirts and pillows, to be sent overseas. To raise money, dances were held at Mooresville Hall and social evenings at Clandeboye school. A number of quilts were made and sold. It has been the custom down through the years, when a family in the community suffered a disaster by fire, to give a donation of clothing or beding. In 1935, when Mrs. Beatrice Dixon was president, Clandeboye Women's In- stitute reached a peak in membership --83 members.. This number was too large to be accommodated in a home so a new branch known as McGillivray Women's In- stitute was formed with Mrs. Dixon as the first president of the new branch. Later she became District President for North Middlesex W.I. Mrs. Mac McNaughton was then appointed president ►f the Clandeboye branch. Mrs. George Young, a member of Clandeboye W.I. since it was first organized, was elected president of the North Middlesex District W.I. in 1937. The District Annual was held in Clandeboye United Church that year. During World War II quan- tities of honey and homemade jams were sent overseas. In 1942, a donation was made to the FWIO Mobile Canteen fund. Clandeboye W.I. work- ed with the Red Cross at Lucan. In 1946 a Variety Concert and Dance was held with ceeds going to the Lucan Community Arena Kitchen Fund. The 40th anniversary of Clandeboye W.I. wa.s celebrated at Clandeboye school. Mrs. Frank Hardy was president then and the 50th anniversary was marked with a banquet at Lucan Memorial Centre with Mrs. Ernie Lewis as President. During the 25 years, the Clandeboye Women's In- stitute has continued its work in the community. The 4-H Home making Clubs, led by excellent and faithful leaders, are sponsored by. the W.I. The Tweedsmuir History Curators are preserving Clandeboye's history. Par- ticipation in Red Cross Blood Clinics, Cancer Fund Drives, donations to many charitable organizations, still keep us working for "Home and Country".

An honour for a small community like ours, Credit goes to the women with the doing powers. This world has taken up a very fast pace, It takes a special kind of women to stay in the race. The Institute once had a four generation membership span, That was Mrs. Charlie Carter's clan. The members on the roll call have greatly diminished, But the Institute work is far from finished. Committees are scheming and planning each day, Ways to make the Institute stay and pay. Some of the members have had the same office twice, And there are others that have done them thrice. Clandeboye Institute members visit back and forth, With institutes from east, west, south and north. The old schoolhouse, where parties were held, that netted a goodly sum, Was closed, sold and renovated; It has two private homes become. Prices of public places bas increased with astonishing speed, The Institute sought other ways to meet their financial need. With the Institute, bus trips have become a very big thing, They provide an outside interest and have a profitable swing. Mottos and speakers give themeetings an interesting trend, Dessert Euchres, White Elephant, Plant and Bake sales, help the money end. Many Institute friends and members retired to Craighohne, to sustain, The ladies go there in carloads, serving lunch and to entertain. Sponsoring a Farm Show Princess, is the Institute's will, Having a home town winner, would be a big thrill. 4-H projects teaches future homemakers, that extra know how, Clandeboye Institute has been strong in this work, over forty years now. The Tweedsmuir History Book is something to treasure, Most of our members contribute with pleasure. For new ideas we continue to look, This year, it is the County Institute Cook Book. The Institute manages, despite rising inflation, To the less fortunate people, they give generous donations. For those shut-in members, that need a lift, Receive each year, visits and a Christmas gift. Today - With so many illness's, no one can plan, The Institute helps, with blood clinics, cancer canvassing, and any way it can. We thank thee Lord for the many blessings, on us you have bestowed, Please give us strength in living each day, in the words of the Institute Ode.
