The audience gave enthusiastic applause to retiring District 10 Jim Mabee. Anna Petersen is the newly -elected District 10 director, while Mabee will proceed to serve at the provincial level. Directors Pat Harlton and Lynda Hodgins were pleased to present Horticultural Service Certificates to retiring directors, Marjorie Atthill and Mary Tufts. It was noted that both of these women willingly served in all aspects of society work helping to create the efficient well-run club one sees today. Director Bob Traut then introduced feature speaker Brenda Gallagher. Gallagher is employed by the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority and is highly regarded in the forestry and vegeta- tive specialist fields. Using a slide presenta- tion complimented with well -researched informa- tion, Gallagher had the audience taking copious notes on the planting, uses and preserving of herbs. Participants learned that herbs are used in medicines, cook- ing, vinegars, soaps, and cosmetics. Growing and using a number of herbs herself, Gallagher capably answered all questions asked by the audience.
