|The South Marysburgh Mirror Barb Balsillie graciously welcomed us to her new home in Picton on Thurs. Sept 4 at 1:30pm. President Mary Creasy welcomed everyone back after our summer hiatus. Her opening gem- There is nothing on this earth to be prized more than friendship. Thought for the day was res- cued by Alice with a poem entitled "A Poor Woman". ome interesting thoughts emerged when we told what we liked about Milford Fair. It's still an old fashioned fair, we get to renew our acquaintances with old friends, a good parade, excellent exhibits, good entertainment, dog show, cow patty bingo and all of these to be enjoyed with a very modest admission fee. Several get well, sympathy and. thinking of you cards were sent. Minutes of the previous meeting were read and ap- proved. Our finances were reviewed and bills paid. We are donating $50.00 to the Terry Fox run. Our ladies are stil in the business of making quilts for the homeless. We are meeting at Milford Town Hall for this purpose on Tues Oct 7 and Thurs Oct 16 at 9:30am both times. Anyone interested in helping, please come and join us. Since our members are reduced, the ladies discussed the future of our organization. Most felt they would like to continue as it keeps us connect- ed to the community and also gives us a chance to social- ize. So, folks, it looks like we'll be getting together for awhile yet. The ladies brought wrapped gifts, value not to exceed $5.00, to be auctioned to the highest bidder. $31.00 was raised. Marg Crouse entertained us with a humourous read- ing and Mary closed a successful meeting with a farmer joke. Barb then plied us with a tasty and colourful lunch, and Marge expressed our appreciation in a vote of thanks.

President Sandra Emlaw opened with the thought - Silence is not only golden, it is often also misquoted. Maureen Rudd's devotional was based on 2nd Corinthians chapter 12, verses 6 to 10. The theme was Grace in the Cracks and Amaz- ing Grace was sung. We have the choice of either fo- cusing on the cracks in life or concentrating on the good points. Grace cannot be ordered but we can receive it free Seven members answered roll call by telling how they passed the summer. Some were good memo- ries and others could be questionable. Seventeen sick calls were made. Minutes were read and approved. Cards were sent to the sick and bereaved and thank yous were received.
