Majestic WI installs officers for 1993
-
On Wednesday, April 14 the
Majestic Women's Institute annual
meeting was held in the Brussels
library. Twenty-four members and
nine guests sat down to a delicious
meal catered by the Ethel Country
Cooks.
Following dinner President
Leona Armstrong opened the
meeting with a poem called "Spirit
of Springtime". The Opening Ode
was sang and Mary Stewart Collect
recited.
Mrs. Leona Foerter brought
greetings from the district. The
guest speaker Mrs. Barb Pinkney of
Listowel, spoke on "Stand up,
Speak up and Proud to be a W.I.
member." The Institute has been
going for 96 years. She stressed the
future not the past. She compared it
with three different sets of eyes
glasses. "Dark" ones — you can't
see anything. "Rose" coloured ones
— it's like a delusion. "Clear" was
compared to the real thing.
Ms Pinkney spelled the word
Institute like this: I - keep
informed. N - need in the
community. T - talents, make use
of everyone's. I - interest, ask what
can be done to help. T - be tolerant,
accept change. U - utilize numerous
resources, the sky is the limit. T -
be trustworthy if you have a task to
do, do it, don't let your group
down. E - for enthusiastic, be
energetic, positive.
She closed with two poems -
"Advertisement for WA." and
"Member".
The Hospitality Convenors of the
Blyth & District Community Play
"Many Hands", will present people
with an outstanding opportunity
during the play performance period
of June 8-19. In connection with
the play performances there will be
preplay festivities. Each night
before the performance the
audience will gather at Memorial
Hall for the first scene in the play
and then join in the "Parade of
Promises" down Dinsley Street to
the theatre at the Rutabaga factory.
"We are looking for groups and
individuals to participate in these
festivities in the form of
entertainers, vendors and parade
entrants," said Project Co-ordinator
Karen Stewart.
We are hoping for a wide variety
of single or group entertainers of all
ages. This would allow more
people to get involved and would
not require a huge time
commitment from each club,
