Hensall Kinette celebrates 40th anniversary -
Serving the communities greatest need
The charter was founded in 1956 and has developed into an important community service club
The Hensall Kinette Club celebrated the 40th anniversary of
its charter on Saturday with a dinner and dance held at the
Hensall Community Centre.
President Judy Morrison said invitations were sent to all
past Kinettes and the original Charter President Marg Knight was in
attendance.
The service club was chartered on October 9, 1956 under Knight
who still resides in Hensall. The Hensall charter was sponsored by the
Exeter Kinetf e co r:ettner was the president of the Exeter
club at that
Over the past -20 . . ub has been involved in many
fundraising and commuiuty service projects including the Bean
Festival, Fiddlers' Contest, rummage sales, babysitting
courses, Ladies' Night, baby car seat rental, Ontario
Hospital Christmas Party and playground restoration.
The Hensall Kinette donate money to many local
worthwhile projects such as community minor sports,
Hensall 'Week of the Child' celebration and the area ice
resurfacer.
One of the highlights of the charter's history occurred
last year when the group raised the most money of any group for
Cystic Fibrosis reseach through local fundraising. The Kinette and
Kinsmen associations have taken on CF research as their "pet projects"
and the Hensall Kinsment were instrumental in initially establishing
support for this disease as a national project.
Although a cure for CF is predicted in roughly five to 10 years,
continued funding and public awareness are important to meeting
this goal. The Kinette cooperate with the Kinsmen during Moonwalk,
walk-a-thons to raise funding for CF and CF Serivce Day at local gas
stations.
Morrison said the club is currently in a rebuilding year although it
is strong with 10 regular members and one active life member. Much
has changed since she originally joined the group in 1973 when
members were required to be married to active members of the
Kinsmen. Now the Kinette membership is separate although the two
group share a "family connection" through joint meetings and social
events.
"Today we have an open membership, welcoming new members at
any time to our rands. There need not be a spousal connection with
Kin, only a desire to enjoy fellowship and friendship with a concern
for those around us who need our assistance, " said Morrison.
The Hensall Kinsmen celebrated its 40th anniversary three years
ago. The organization was started 76 years ago in Hamilton by Hal
Rogers.
The Hensall Klnette celebrated its
40th anniversary Saturday with a
dinner and dance. Pictured above
