P i n e L a k e Women's I n s t i t u t ue
Women's Institutes are still relevant
submitted by E. Marion
Brown
" Are Women's Institutes
dinosaurs?" That was the
question Constituency Convener
Marilyn Wattenbarger
presented to the members
of the Pine Lake W. I.
at their February meeting.
In answer to her question,
Mrs. Wattenbarger felt that
both rural and urban women
face many of the same
problems. Women's Institutes
can help solve these
problems as they have over
the past century. The solution
may come in different
forms or methods but
Women's Institutes still
provide education, fellowship,
leadership and social
services in a non- partisan
and non- sectarian way.
Greater effort must be
made to communicate this
message to our fast paced
living world. One way to
revitalize enthusiasm is by
attending conferences and
workshops. A n invitation is
extended to all women to
attend the District Three
Workshop at Pine Lake on
Thursday, March 12, 2001.
The morning speaker will
be Moriah Boyd from the
Central Alberta Women's
Emergency Shelter who
will address, " Marital Relationships."
The Federated Women's
Institutes of Canada also
are seeking answers to
what women would like to
see in a women's organization.
In cooperation with
the p r o v i n c i a l bodies, a
r e v i t a l i z a t i o n discussion
paper is being circulated to
a l l Women's Institutes
branch members and to all
women who would like to
partake in this needs
assessment. Completed survey
papers are to be
returned to FWIC President
Faye Mayberry and President-
elect Margaret Yetnian
for evaluation.
Detailed preparation for
the Feb. 24 quilted place
mat workshop conducted
by Doris Warke was finalized.
Participants are asked
to bring their own noon bag
lunch. Further information
can be obtained from Doris
Warke at 886- 4108.
The annual Heart Fund
Card Party will be held at
the HUB Community Centre,
Pine Lake on Saturday,
Feb. 24 at 8 p. m. Receipts
will be issued to all donations
made to the Heart and
Stroke Foundation.
Kathleen Lawrence and
Marion Brown reported on
the Waste* Management
F a c i l i t y Tour on January
23. The ladies were
impressed with the unique
departmental trucks for
hauling various recyclables,
baling system of cardboard
and papers, reuse of recycled
oil as a heating fuel
and the maintenance of the
fleet of trucks at the plant.
Thank you letters were
received from recipients.

Hewitt, of Christmas goodies.
Notice was given of a
presentation by Roger Epp
on the Future of Rural
Committees on March
