They gathered at Camp Bimini on June 14 - during the heat wave - with the theme "God's Wonderful World." Marion Jackson Tyler inspired the campers with her address in the morning. In the afternoon, a hilarious skit, "The Puzzle," was presented. The line, "Nothing is ever done in a church without a commit- tee," was greeted by a roar of recognition. The rejoinder, "And nothing is ever done with a committee," brought another out- burst. Verna Burgin, of Kirkton, and her cast of players made their points, and received an enthusiastic response. Representatives from many churches throughout the Presbyterial were involved in various capacities in making the day a success. As always at camp, food was im- portant. Coffee and muffins were available on arrival, courtesy Stratford Central UCW Women from Hibbert and Thamesview UCWs set the tables and arranged the pot luck food ready for lunch, while the Mitchell Main Street UCW did the necessary clean- ing up.

Residents were up bright and early on Thursday morning to board the bus for a trip to Kincardine. Four ladies from the community and Pat Ryan from Seaforth Manor accompanied the residents. Everyone found the tour of the Bruce Nuclear plant to be quite interesting as well as enjoying the sights along the way.
