Patti is a mother of three and helps her hus- band with the family farm situated near Brucefield. Patti has turned a hobby into a business venture; making Teddy Bears for the past 17 years. Patti took the group through the process of making a Teddy Bear from the raw material to finished product. She attends and sells her unique bears at craft shows in Canada and the U.S. Marilyn Pym thanked Patti for a most interesting talk with a gift of appreciation.

Make your wedding a lasting celebration! Today, many couples are looking for unique and meaningful ways to celebrate their special day. The Canadian Cancer Society Wedding Celebration Program is a unique and effortless way for couples to make their wedding day even more memorable and meaningful. So many people are touched by cancer. The Wedding Celebration Program allows couples to celebrate their big day, and help make a difference in the fight against cancer. Couples are choosing to make a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society to honour a loved one, or, in lieu of favours, or gifts. The Canadian Cancer Society Wedding Celebration Program offers ele- gant personalized gift cards, place cards, and more, to add that distinctive touch to a wedding. Especially for those couples "who have every- thing", deciding to forgo gifts and instead request- ing an "In Honour" donation be made to the Canadian Cancer Society leaves them with great satisfaction and pride. Honouring a loved one or an event can, and has, gone beyond weddings. The sentiment easily fits birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers, engage- ment parties, Christmas gifts and so on. And, the decision makes financial sense too as an income tax receipt is issued for donations. To learn more, contact the Canadian Cancer Society at 1 800 294-0086 or huron@ontario.can- cer.ca.
