The Citizen, 1991-08-28, Page 9Walton WI marks 35th anniversary The Walton Community Hall was decorated with the Institute colours of blue and gold when the Walton Women's Institute celebrated its 35th anniversary on Wednesday evening, August 21. Margaret Mclnroy, president, welcomed the large crowd of friends and members of other branches in Huron ā€” East District. She also introduced Barb Pinkley, board member, and Leone Foerter, first vice president of the District who later brought greetings. Margaret read a reading "Changing It" by Bob Shrier. Margery Huether played a selection of music as the guests were arriving and was pianist for the Opening Ode. The Mary Stewart Collect was repeated in unison and O Canada was sung. A motion was made to elect Helen Craig to be secretary in the absence of secretary treasurer Marjory Humphries and assistant Berva Watson. Helen read minutes of last meeting and several items of business were dealt with from the correspondence. Congratulation letters were received from several of the Institute Branches present. Margaret Mclnroy introduced the Walton Institute members present and the chartered members Leona McDonald, Marine Marks, Mary Humphries, and Alberta Givens were presented with a corsage by Barb Pinkley on behalf of the Institute for their 35 years. They later cut the cake that was made by Betty McCall and decorated by Marion Godkin. Leanne McDonald entertained the large audience with her famous step-dancing and clogging. Margaret thanked her and presented a gift. Margery Huether gave a reading "Bees and Human Beings." Ruth Harding of Fordwich was introduced by Leona McDonald. Ruth gave a detailed report of their trip to Victoria, B.C. where they both had attended the F.W.I.C. convention at the University in July. Margery presented her with a gift. Margaret Mclnroy made the draw for a door prize of a wicker basket; that was won by Mrs. Thornton of Gorrie, other draw winners were Doris McCall, B. J. DeJong and Ruth Harding. Happy Anniversary was sung before the chartered members cut the cake. The next meeting has been changed to Sept. 10, a week earlier, when an exchange student from Australia will be the guest speaker. Everyone is welcome. It's an open meeting. Ruth Axtmann and Helen Craig offered to arrange the display for the Brussels Fall Fair in September. Margaret Mclnroy sang a solo, "We have this moment to-day," accompanied at the piano by Margery Humphries, bringing a lovely evening to a close. Institute Grace was sung prior to the ladies retiring to the basement where tables were set up decorated with the Institute colours, and blue and gold serviettes along with the yellow mums for table centres. A delicious lunch of sandwiches with relish plate, cake and ice cream with a cup of tea were served by the committee in charge, Margery Huether, Betty McCall, Viola Kirkby, Mary Humphries, and Leona McDonald when a social time was enjoyed by all.
