Speaking to more than 300 wom- en Shapton said, "Our organization is a patchwork of individuals each with a unique personality, each with a special gift, and each with a special calling to serve in our indi- vidual capacity." We all have different personali- ties but by working together and sharing in the work of the Women's Institute, we weave our talents and gifts together for a successful or- ganization. Our responsibility .then is to perceive the pattern and com- mit a portion of our lives to our branch, our district, and provincial level of our organization as the op- portunity provides. A quilt gives us pleasure and warmth. Likewise our involvement gives us pleasure and warmth. I hope you receive the pleasure of at- tending this convention and the warmth of friendship as you attend this convention today. The Women's Institute is like quilts for we both are aged, the cu- rators responsibilities are like docu- menting our quilts, programme planning like designing the quilt with new ideas and techniques, our education courses like workshops in both fields, the restructuring committee like problem solving, parliamentary procedure like work- manship and we are also changing with the times compared to new and modern ideas." In conclusion, Shapton said, "A quilt is like the Women's Institute with the lining representing the strength of the organization, the batting or filler bonding to the his- tory of Erland Lee and Adelaide Hoodless and the top is all of you and the others in FWIO and ACWW all bound together to share the flame and the words are for per- sonal growth and community ac- tion." At the conclusion of her com- ments, Shapton who was re-elected for a second term led an impressive flame ceremony to compliment the theme of the 81st convention of the London area, "Let's Share the Flame." The guest speaker at the conven- tion was Sharon Kelly, of Seaforth, winner of the 1994 Huron county 4-H scholarship. Kelly, now a student at the Uni- versity of Waterloo majoring in drama spoke on the "Magic of Working Together." She went on to say, "All tend to see us on a long journey with a des- tination. True joy of life is the jour- ney. Appreciate each day with more sunsets and laughter. Life can be hectic but find time to dream. Be your own best friend and believe in yourself." The U of W student who will play the lead role in an upcoming presentation of "Chicago" conclud- ed by saying, "Try to set aside a few moments a day to deliberate on who we are and what we want to be. Life can make choices for us, but we take control of our destiny. Remember, "If it's to be it's up to me." Joh', Scott, reeve of Blanshard township brought greetings from his municipality and pointed out the importance of being volunteers. In response to Scott's comments, president Dolores Shapton said, "There are about 55,000 hours of volunteer work put in each year by Women's Institute members in the London area. The area includes parts of Middlesex, Huron, Perth, Oxford and Elgin counties. Norma Bice of Ilderton received the Women's Institute provincial 90th anniversary award from Onta- rio president Donna Russett. Winner of the 1995 Maryn Pardy scholarship was Kris McNaughton of Kippen. She was unable to at- tend because of studies at McMas- ter University, but her mother passed on some of Kris's com- ments. The Pardy scholarship is awarded to a young person who during her 4-H Homemaking Club experience has shown outstanding progress and development, given excellent leadership and carried out club ac- tivities of a high caliber. Through her mother, Kris McNaughton said, "As only one of two farm girls in residence, I have to point taut that agriculture acts as a common ground between the ru- ral and urban population. I have to explain that cash cropping isn't making dollar bills." During the business portion of the convention two resolutions were sustained. The first asked that the games of Young Offenders be released to the public after they are convicted and the second calls for a reduction of violence on television or radio.
