ZURICH - Monthly meet-
ings are held the first
Monday of each month
except July and August.
On other Mondays mem-
bers and friends gather at
the local restaurant for
coffee and chat.
All meetings start with
lunch at noon at one of the
area's restaurants. The
January meeting was can-
celled because of stormy
of weather. Occasionally
following lunch, all go to a
member's home for a
business meeting.
At the agriculture meet-
ing the topic was maple
syrup. At the education
meeting, good thoughts
were brought out in a
reading entitled `Points to
Ponder.'
Another reading was
entitled 'You are never too
old old to learn.' At the
Canadian industry meet-
ing, the members learned
about lumber.
March being nutritional
month everyone learned
many good things about
food and nutrition. In hon-
our of St. Patrick, mem-
bers were given a reading
on 'The Wearing of the
Green.'
A very interesting read -
POLICE BRIEFS
BLUEWATER — On
April 19 at 8 a.m. the
owners of a cottage
arrived at their seasonal
home on Huron Shore
Line in Bluewater to find
property stolen.
Someone cut a chain
attaching a canoe to a tree
and stole the canoe. The
orange Coleman make
was 17 feet long. It was
heavy and could be used
in the rough waters of the
lake. It would require two
men to pick it up and load
it onto a trailer or vehicle
and is valued at $300.
If you have information
that can assist this investi-
gation call the Huron OPP
or Crime Stoppers at 1-
800-222-8477 (TIPS).
ing on clock making was
given by George Hess at
the Tweedsmuir history
meeting.
During the November
meeting, the group toured
a local nursing home.
At Christmas, all enjoyed
a catered turkey dinner
followed by fun and
games. For this meeting,
members bring clothes
and toys for the Christmas
Bureau.
Most meetings are
spiced up with jokes,
poems and comic read-
ings.
Some of the worthwhile
roll calls were 'What piece
of advice would you give
to today's youth,' 'If you
didn't live in Canada,
where would you like to
live,' and 'What I use for
therapy.'
At the district annual,
the group gave the In
Memoriam and at the
meeting Joan Smith
became the district presi-
dent.
The club hosted the dis-
trict picnic in July.
A tea room was set up in
the township hall during
the annual Bean Festival.
The WI has been doing
this for some time. The tea
room is the main form of
fundraising for the insti-
tute and enabled the
group to make a substan-
tial donation to the new
