Five inter- ested parents founded and start- ed what is now Glenholme School for Retarded Children.

Activities such as _ bowling, Ladies Aid Pioneered Simocoe UCW For more than one hundred years, the women's organiza- tions of Simcoe Street Church have played a leading role in '. the work of the church. In fact, the present church building was erected in 1867 on land already purchased by the Ladies'. Aid. Prior to that time, the church _ was located on King street west, and was known as Wesleyan Methodist Church. Some treas- ured reminders of this era in- clude two chairs which bear plaques, stating that they were "Presented to Wesleyan Meth- odist Church in 1860 by the Ladies' Aid". -On January 1, 1962, the var- ious women's groups inthe church ceased to exist, and the United Church Women came into being. During this year, 325 members have joined. They have carried on such activities as sending shipments of good, used clothing to needy persons overseas, visiting the sick in hospital and at home, and con- tributing to the Building Fund for the new chapel and the en- largement of the Sunday School. The United Church Women have also accepted an allocation for the Missionary and Maintenance Fund, through the Board of Women.
