The deadline for submis- sions to the East Ashfield His- tory Book of Jan. 1, 2016 has come and gone. The committee is still in need of information, photos and updates however. We ask that you get in touch with one of our contacts listed below as soon as you can. We plan to have an open house late spring or early summer so everyone will have an opportunity, prior to publication, to make correc- tions reduce omissions and a last chance to submit those wonderful family photos. The open house will be your final opportunity and invitation to submit information on your family or farm but you don't have to wait until then. You can find photos we need identified and an updated list of families we need information on at www. acwtownship.ca (type Ashfield History Book into the Search window) there may also be others we haven't discovered. Please make sure you are included. A particular area where information is needed is on personnel who served post 1945.

Based on dozens of inter- views Ensler conducted with women, the play addresses women's sexuality and the social stigma surrounding rape and abuse, creating a new con- versation about and with women. It is a testimonial of women's experiences on their journey through sexual discovery. These women share their most intimate desires and fears in a backdrop of humor, heart- break and sometimes violence. Monologues like "My Short Skirt, 'Because he liked to look at it,' and "My vagina was my SOCIETE DE GESTION DES DECHETS NUCLEAIRES village," among others, have touched the lives of many women as they embrace their who they really are.
