Walkerburn Club meets
The May meeting of the
Walkerburn Club was held at the
home of Dorothy Schneider, with
six members present.
Vera Penfound was president of
the day. She opened the meeting
with a poem and a reading, followed
by prayer and the Lord's Prayer.
Eileen McClinchey read the
secretary's report and had the roll
call, which was answered with
"something you are thankful for".
Ila Cunningham gave the treasurer's
report.
Business of the month was
discussed. It was voted to give Dave
and Julie Plunkett and family a
donation. A discussion was held
about the quilt for the club's 100th
anniversary. All former members
and members of the community are
invited to a picnic at Manchester
Park on June 26.
The place for the next meeting is
to be decided with Eileen as

The fifth meeting of the
Wawanosh 4H "Gardenin' Gang"
took place on Tuesday, May 31, at
the Wingham Community Garden.
As members were arriving they went
straight to the gardens and started
weeding. Once all members had
arrived, President Maisy led roll call
which was: "Name your favourite
fruit grown in Ontario and how you
like to eat it." A majority of the
members said they like apples cut
up.
After roll call, the club was split
into three groups. All groups had to
weed and dig two trenches through
their beds. However, once the
weeding was complete, the groups
planted different plants. The first
group planted tomatoes and put up
trellises for peas. The second group
planted onions and watered
everyone's freshly -planted plants.
The third group laid down landscape
cloth and planted watermelons.
With all the needed planting done,
some of the business for the meeting
was done. Leaders reminded
members of the projects to be
completed by the end of the club,
and asked what members felt they
had learned or felt good about from
this meeting. Abby handed out title
pages.
Members then enjoyed a snack
provided by Eileen of fruits that
could be grown in Ontario and the
meeting was closed with the motto.
The next meeting is June 16.
