changed over the decades. Guest speaker for the aftemoon was former rleev Minnie Noakes (right),

The special guest was Menai
Hughes from Department of Ste-
wardship Service, United Church
of Canada" from Elora, who intro-
duced a video "Where there's a
Will" with Charlie Farquharson.
The humorous video opened the
discussion on the need for everyone
to have a will properly written and
witnessed so that the disposition of
property and the care of loved ones
is properly carried out as the de-
ceased intended! The group was re-
minded that today persons live
longer and families are often well
established without great financial
needs as in past 'generations. This
fact allows a person to will gifts to
areas of one's special interest such
as the church. The suggested meth-
ods were a gift in the will; ora life
insurance policy willed to the spe-
cial interest; or an annuity gifted
during one's lifetime which would
give an individual income until
death.
Literature on personal records,
wills, will Manning. life insurance
and annutues was left for the
Mp.
ary Brintnell presented Hughes
with a gift.
Lorna Champman and Beatrice
Munn served refreshments.
