Women’s Institute members and
guests enjoyed a potluck dinner on
Thursday, Dec. 13 at Auburn
Memorial Hall.
President Erma Cartwright
welcomed everyone. Grace was sung
and a potluck meal was enjoyed.
Following the meal, Laura Mae
Chamney played the piano and Marg
Siertsema led a sing song of
Christmas songs. They were thanked
by Mrs. Cartwright.
Pastor Dave Wood was guest
speaker. He showed slides and told
of his trip to El Salvador. Sixteen
people had an eye-opening adventure
as they travelled to villages such as
Las Brisas which was levelled by a
major earthquake and land slide.
They built five homes while there.
The people of El Salvador have
little to no possessions but are
always happy and take extreme pride
in what they do have, he said.
Water must be carried to each
home.
This trip was through World
Partners who are seeking to rebuild
communities in this area.
When this group left for home the
tools they used to build the homes
were all left with the villagers.
A note of interest – another
member of this group was Quincy
Bridge of Auburn. Congratulations
must go out to each and everyone of
this group.
Marg Fraser presented Pastor
Wood with a gift of appreciation.
Erma Cartwright thanked him for the
presentation.
Mrs. Cartwright gave a reading, A
Box Full of Kisses.
June Robinson had two contests,
Name That Christmas Song and
Christmas riddles. These were won
by Betty Archambault and Dorothy
Schneider.
There is remodelling to be done in
the kitchen of the Hall.
The roll call was to bring a friend,
sing or pay $1. Friends were
introduced, music was enjoyed and
money collected.
Mrs. Cartwright gave a reading
Precious Christmas Memories and
Teresa gave a reading, A
Heartwarming Story.
Selling tickets on the quilt for
cancer proved to be very profitable
and donation will be sent.
The next meeting is Jan. 19. It will
be a craft meeting so everyone is
asked to bring craft material items.
Mrs. Archambault and Mrs. Fraser
are in charge. The roll call is to bring
something to make favours.
Phyllis Durst will be doing flower
arranging.
Money was donated to the scanner
for the hospital in Goderich and to
have the piano in the Hall tuned.
A gift exchange closed the
meeting.

Father Time
AHoliday Moosical began with none other than Father Time
setting up the timeline of the story for the audience at East
Wawanosh Public School’s Christmas concert last week.
Father Time, played by Jacob Coultes, set the scene, then
the rest of the cast took over, telling the story of the moose
that eventually learned to fly. (Shawn Loughlin photo)
