Laurentian Bank was founded in 1846 by Mon- treal philanthropists, un- der the name of The Mon- treal City and District Savings Bank, devoted to the promotion of savings among workers. It is recognized for its in- volvement in the commu- nities it serves. It is the seventh largest Canadian- owned bank, with assets of $12.7 billion, 260 branch- es and offices across Cana- da and some 3,500 employ- ees. Auxiliary reviews silent auction The Hospital Auxiliary meeting was called to order by president Jean Elliot Sparrow, welcoming all, especially visi- tors. Elaine Buchanon read a slightly different version of the auxiliary prayer. Then the president read a humorous poem to start us off with a laugh. The minutes were adopted as read, as were all the reports. The Silent Auction and Bottle Bingo were a great success. The monetary ad- ditions will be reported at our closing meeting. It will be held at Joyce Taylor's house as a Strawberry Tea (don't forget your hat) onJune 17. It was requested and passed to pur- chase a Colonscope, evidently badly needed for the hospital at a cost of $25,500. We hope to have an exceptional two days tagging, so please look for our girls in pink smocks (and some men) on May 31 and June 1. They will be all over town, please give generously. The gift shop buyer showed lots of new items to be purchased along with some handmade quality items for sale, all at reasonable prices. Those wonderful Seagrave ladies, once again, have donated a complete baby layette for needy persons in mater- nity. Many, many thanks to these most generous ladies. As this was our annual meeting the new officers were duly installed. EXPERIENCE VALUE, SAFETY, ba VERSATILITY AND SELECTION... E X P EE R E N CC E FORD COUNTRY.
