WOMEN'S INSTITUTE PINE L A K E WOMEN'S INSTITUTE The ladies have been very busy during the first quarter of the year 2000. We have changed the program to have only two educational convenor reports at each meeting so that there can be a more comprehensive report on different subjects. The Heart Fund Card Party held at the Pine Lake Hub Centre on February 26 obtained donations totaling $ 330 for the Heart & Stroke Association. Everyone enjoyed playing cards and fellowship afterwards over coffee and lunch. Three members attended the District III workshop held at Ponoka on March 9, 2000, in the Legion Hall. The second portion of the FWIC Literacy program was introduced. Each branch is encouraged to find a way to help those in their own community who have problems with the written word in this technical world we live in. Members learned the responsibilities and duties for branch, district and provincial levels of WI. Entertainment was the Bell Ringers from Ponoka. Our February meeting started with a potluck supper. As usual, our members supplied various dishes for a delightful meal. The Constituency Convenor, Marilyn Wattenbarger, was the special guest for the evening. She spoke on " Between Dreams" as presented to the AWI conference at Olds last June. WI has got to find the glue in our global telecommunication world to bind our branches together. We have to find a purpose for WI to continue to exist. Our former members left us with a wonderful legacy; we must continue to grow and flourish or perish.

There is to be a farm safety component in this mini city. This will consist of a hip roof barn style building in which all aspects of operating a farm safely will be taught. We sincerely hope that this will be a benefit to both the urban and rural population. There was a discussion on the Trans Canada Trails and the implications on our rural property owners. There has to be extensive discussion between government, landowner and the perceived public access to these trails regarding the public usage of it and liabilities that may be incurred by the landowner.
