Purple Grove WI South Kinloss Presbyterian WMS Mary Anne Kukoly The March meeting of the Purple Grove Women's Institute was held at Mary Anne Kukoly's. All who were able to attend appreciated the presentation by Cindy Cartwright of Southamp- ton. She spoke about her passion for hummingbirds, research and banding. Cin- dy's power point presenta- tion was so interesting. Maureen Collins read the Scripture. The roll call was answered by an interesting fact about humming- birds. Convener Deanna Scott led us in some Irish songs and closed her por- tion of the meeting with the Irish Blessing. We all enjoyed the lunch provided by Janet Nixon and Donna Swan.

Joyce Adamson welcomed nine members and two visi- tors with a reading "The More You Give': Nancy Wal- den read thoughts on Lent suggesting ways to take time to nurture and support our spirits. Joyce read about while giving up things for Lent, ways one could also pay it forward to someone needing help. Gertie Henderson read scripture from Isaiah 58: 6,7 and devotional". We sang "All beautiful the march of days". As we are still deeply in win- ter cold and snow, Joyce read some facts about snow. Nancy talked about the days of March ahead: World Day of Prayer, school Winter Break week, St. Patrick's Day, spring equinox Mar 20, and our annual Church Beef Supper and Concert May 22 to name a few. She asked how many of us had some Irish ancestry (all but one), who had visited Ireland (none), and who wished to have visited Ireland (all). Elaine Errington volun- teered that one of her mater- nal great great grandfathers, Wm Mallough, emigrated from Ireland and founded Dungannon just south of us. We sang "For the beauty of the earth". Joyce, Gertie, and Nancy each read some Irish poems and blessings. Joyce tested our St. Patrick's/Irish knowledge with an Irish quiz. Program ended with Edna Alton reading a lovely poem anticipating the joy of spring. Shirley Bolt opened busi- ness reading about March 17 to honour the Irish. Roll Call was donations towards Church outdoor plants. Shirley gave the Treasurer's report. Bakeless Bake Sale enve- lopes were distributed for return in May. We were sorry to learn Helen Cleland has just broken a hip and is in hospital—we send our prayers for good recovery to Helen. Shirley read the Least Coin Newsletter about World Day of Prayer written this year by women of The Bahamas, who give thanks for the beauty of the sand and ocean and the continued life-giving bounty from the ocean. Marlene Struthers was with us to give details of our joint noon luncheon with the WWAM group on April 7 at the Church and a Church fundraiser later in April. Shirley ended business with an excellent reading about simpler times by Joyce Nicholson in the "Tweeds- muir" book. We repeated the UCW Closing Prayer. We enjoyed continued fel- lowship with a light lunch prepared by Elaine and Gertie. Planning an event? Don't forget to advertise!
