The group, formed last year, rais- ed the money through the first big project they have tackled, making . and raffling a beautiful full-size quilt done in the Grandmother's Fan design. Carroll Sturgeon, a member of the speakers' committee of Ronald McDonald House, accepted the che- que from ticket committee chairman Butsy Parkinson. While thanking the ladies for their generous gift, Mrs. Sturgeon said the 12 -bedroom home on the grounds of Victoria Hospital's Westminster Campus was unique in North American - the London Ronald McDonald House was debt -free when DONATION — The Huron Perth Quilters Guild donated -$2,476 to the Ronald McDonald House in Lon- _ I don. Shown are Guild president Rosemary Schaefer, (left), Ronald McDonald representative Carroll Sturgeon, ticket committee chairman Butsy Parkinson and secretary -treasurer Alma Ballantyne. I it opened in June. The $1,000,000 cost of building and furnishings had already been paid. Mrs. Sturgeon said "the House that love built" is serving southwestern Ontario as a home away from home, providing a place to stay for the parents of children receiving medical treatment at the nearby children's hospital. A recreation area for teens in the basement has been named The Lion's Den in honour of the cheques sent from Lions and Lioness Clubs across Ontario to pay for that part of the facility. • Mrs. Sturgeon said many fund- raising events are planned to raise money for the annual $75,000 operating costs and proposed four- bedroom addition. A paid manager lives in a two-bedroom apartment in the House and is on call 24 hours a day. As a permanent record of the quilters' generosity, Mrs. Sturgeon promised the organization's name will be inscribed on one of the brass acorns that hang on an oak tree in the foyer of the building. Mrs. Sturgeon drew the name of Murray Cardiff, Brussels, as the win- ner of the quilt. Preceptor chapter underway The Exeter Preceptor Chapter. of Beta Sigma Phi, Beta Theta, officially began this year's activities with a supper at the Golden City Restaurant September 17. The members then travelled to the home of Pat Patterson where presi- dent Maida Gaiser officiated the Order of the Rose ceremony in honour of Maude Connon. This was followed by the Preceptor Ritual for Mary Jane MacDougall, Joy Kerslake, Susan Kraftcheck, Jay Skillender, Heather Rogers, Lynda -----Deelstra-attd Dorcas Wein. -Vice- president Pat welcomed the new members to the Chapter. A report regarding the success of Sportsfest was given and a special thank you went to Verla Russell and Phyllis Johnson for their efforts in this endeavour. Verla, similarly, organized our concession booth at the Exeter Grey's ball tournament and the Chapter members were quite pleased with the results. Jay Skillender and Susan Kraft - check presented the international theme "A Walk In the Sunlight" and the chapter theme of "Welcome to My Word". Members were given an op- portunity of submitting their plans for the upcoming programs. The meeting was followed by a delicious lunch prepared by the Executive. October 1 members met at the home of Glenda Wagner. Following business Donna Webster introduced the guest speaker, Gwen Watson, who has been blind since early childhood. She shared with us many useful ar- ticles used by the lbind and made several suggestions for helping others who have visual problems. This was Caven ladies mark season The Thanksgiving and fall Thank offering meeting of Caven P.C.W. was the theme of the October meeing with our Presbyterial visitor Mrs. Robert McColl of Goderich and the Gordon Auxiliary as guests. - --Mrs.--Cann;- Mrs: -Learn- and -Mrs. Henderson arranged a very attractive table of desserts served before the formal meeting. The devotional prepared by Mrs. Stanlake, centred around the theme, "We are grateful". She was assisted by Mrs. Cann and Mrs. Ersman. The Gordon Auxiliary favoured with two choral numbers. "When you are standing alone" and "Bless This House". Our Glad Tidings, Presbyterian Record and Miss Agnes Hislop had already provided us with much in- terest in Guyana - so we were thrill- ed again to hear yet another entirely different account of life in that coun- try. After bringing greetings from Stratford Huron Mrs.McColl chose to share a letter written by her daughter's friend as she travelled and visited in that South American country. After dispensing with the business the president announced that the November meeting would be the an- nual meeting with election of officers and reports of all secretaries. an excellent lead up to CNIB month. Lunch was prepared by hostess Glenda. 4211STANDARD TRUST FIRS A ONCE -IN A »LIFETIME NEVER TO BE REPEATED EVENT° . • If you're looking for carpet or vinyl for a small area or an entire house • Save Time • Save Money - • See us First 355 Moin Si., S., Ex•for MAC'S WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO GROW Just when you thought there was no room left for personal growth, Mac's offers you the opportunity to grow with your own business.
