ONTARIO JUNIOR CITIZEN AWARDS Sponsored by: Purple Grove Womens Institute Mary Anne Kukoly The September meeting of the Purple Grove Women's Institute was held at the P G Community Centre. Hostess Deanna Scott had the Centre looking so nice. Our President Janet Rhody opened the meeting.

In the new business we discussed the Fall Fair Display that is being chaired by Wilma Sutton and Diane Clifford. We were asked to supply pies for the booth in the Arena. Also dis- cussed was the working schedule in manning the booth Saturday morning. The ladies who served at the Bruce County Museum in August reported having a great time greeting visitors to the Log House and old School House. Our Convener, Christine Roberts had a brain teasers' contest that had us put on our thinking caps. Chris- tine was pleased to introduce our Guest Speaker, Sandra Hong, Public Education Coordinator from the Alz- heimer Society of Grey Bruce. San- dra was so helpful in educating all present on Alzheimers/Dementia. She also encouraged us in areas that we can help prevent Alzheimers. Of great interest to everyone present was the concept of the fidget apron, placemats, and lap quilts. Our guests from the Quilter's Guild shared their experiences with mak- ing these items.

It turned into a sunny, but windy day, just right for a walk. The 5km or the 2 km routes where both full of walkers ready to raise money. The grand total for the Kincardine walk was $18,546. Not bad for what started out a cloudy day.
