GRAND BEND — At the November
Grand Bend Women's Institute meeting
the members were informed that the
quilt, Meadow Lily, they had made for
the Breast Cancer Quilt Show in Stratford
had sold for $1,075.
The women have completed another
quilt to be sold next September in
Toronto. President Cass Lovie thanked
the women for entertaining at the Blue
Water Nursing Home November birthday
party. The fall board district directors
report was that the Grand Bend branch
will host the district picnic in July and
that the Tweedsmuir Workshop will be in
Dashwood in August.
Several books, Fighting for Home and
Country will be ordered. These are the
stories of women during the wars. One of
these books will be donated to the Grand
Bend Library.
A Christmas card for friends in
Killarney Women's Institute, Manitoba
was signed by everyone present.
A representative from the Ontario
Alzheimer Society was presented with a
cheque. This money was raised selling
hotdogs at the Farmer's Market in
October. Dee Rath was the lucky winner
of the door prize.
The women then used their creative
ideas to make a Christmas felted hanging
mitt. These mitts will hang on Christmas
trees or door knobs throughout the fes-
tive season.
The next meeting will be a Christmas
dinner at Aunt Gussies on Dec. 16. The
2004/2005 website is now completed.
