Robert Batty has over 5000 different arti- cles related to agriculture in the by- gone days. The group then travelled to Gode- rich, via Saltford, to the museum an viewed the quilts on display. Each lady picked out a favourite quilt but no purchases were made. The group then went to the beach where a short meeting was held before proceeding to the Candlelight Res- taurant for supper. After supper the group climbed to the Menesetung Bridge which the Goderich townspeople restored by buying planks to keep the old Rail- way Bridge intact over the river leading to the Tiger Dunlop trails, thru the woods.

The president of the Guild has always held a seat on the Board of Directors of the Playhouse, as the Guild repre- sentative. The first fund raiser of the Guild was a fashion show/ luncheon at the Green Forest Lodge in November 1972, and now, 22 years later, the tradition continues, with this year's fashion show :Out of My Dreams" to be held at the Play- house on the set of Oklahoma! on September 15. In 1973, the "This and That" Boutique was opened in the old barn, and today the Guild runs the well -stocked Farmhouse Gift Shoppe. The annual spring flower -planting to brighten the Playhouse grounds began its tradition in 1973, and on a cer- tain day in May, Guild members still show up, trowels in hand. The annual membership tea began in 1974. Over the years, the Guild's fund raising efforts have re- sulted in the purchase of two sets of scarlet front stage cur- tains, four sets of black back drop curtains, including the re- cent stage drapes, "legs and borders", 100 chairs, mirrors for the actors, and financial assistance to bring in the water pipeline and reduce the mortgage debt. In 1976 an orchestra pit piano was purchased and a Guild cookbook compiled for sale at the boutique. Now in 1994, a new Yamaha piano has been purchased, and a new cookbook "Curtain Calls" is a tremendous sales hit. By 1985, over 525,000 had been donated, and the Guild has been able to fund raise well over 520,000 in the last three seasons alone! Members also help out in the catering coqunittee, the "Meet and Greet" kiosk and clerical work for the Playhouse. There are nearly 150 Guild members today. Together with the leadership provided by the past presidents, they have helped to create one of the largest, most effective support groups for a theatre com- pany anywhere in Ontario. Under current business, Pat Venton and her catering commit- tee were thanked for serving refreshments to over 60 Guild members at the July Appreciation Day. The Guild also hosted an art show and sale on August 21, where 63 paintings by 28 lo - 'cal artists were on display at the Playhouse.
