The Women's Institute at all levels is an organization for personal growth and community action. The objectives are: To assist and encourage women to become more knowl- edgeable and responsible citizens; To promote and develop good family life skills; To help discover, stimu- late and develop leadership; To help identify and resolve needs in the community. The first Women's Institute in the world was organized at Stoney Creek , Ontario on Feb. 19, 1897 by co- founders Adelaide H. Hoodless and Erland Lee. On April 5, 1945 a group of women met and the home of Mrs. Ed Gill Sr. to organize a Women's Institute Grand Bend Branch. There were 18 charter members.

Andy Rau and his group made music in the retire- ment home lounge for Friendship Friday Feb. 3. Featured entertainment for Feb. 17 will be Martin Gelinas and his family. Retirement residents thorough- ly enjoy the twice monthly Friday evening music in their living room. Queensway residents, volunteers, and staff were grat- ified that they were able to raise over $1,000 with their participation in the Alzheimer's Walk for Memories at Exeter Hospital. In February we supported the CNIB Crocus Campaign with several staff purchasing the beautiful purple flowering plants from CNIB represen- tative Gordon Hill. Queensway Retirement Residence is going strong with tenants enjoying many events and programs but the Nursing Home level has been closed as residents and staff deal with the Lebug" that has been prevalent in the community. One to one attention at the bedside in the form of music, visitation, reading and various ther- apies are helping residents cope with the closure and cancellation of large group events and entertainment that they are so accustomed to enjoying.
