September report for the Pine Lake
submitted by E. Marion Brown
Alberta Women's Institutes have approved the Helping
Hands project. Projects which exemplify this motto will be
endorsed by all members as help is given in the local community
as well as the community at large. Each branch will
determine their " gifts" by their membership. Gifts have
been long standing to food banks, schools, clothing banks,
women's shelters etc. Pine Lake W. I. will also support the
Associated Country Women of the World processing project
in Lorgot, Kenya. A C W W has just completed a very
successful funded irrigation project with the Lorgot
Farmers Group which enabled them to grow their own fruit
and vegetables. The new project will enable them to store
perishable produce and sell at a later date. Pine Lake W. I.
will collect their funds in a " bird feeder" replica of a Kenya
building. There will be a building competition at the 2003
AW1 convention and then the structures will be auctioned
as an additional fund raiser.
Pine Lake W. I. will again give a " helping hand" to the
Shoe Box Project.. Members will contribute to two boxes,
one for each a girl and boy, in the age six to nine year category
at the October meeting. Boxes will be assembled for
the November deadline.
Isabelle Beck, branch convener for International Affairs,
reported how Jack Bums is giving a helping hand in
Tajikistan. Mr. Bums, a Red Deer disaster expert, is serving
with the International Red Cross helping to curb famine by
assisting in feeding 250,00 people. In the country devastated
by floods, land slides and earth quakes, three foreign and
forty- one local workers are planting trees, cleaning dykes,
etc. so the land can again sustain the population. Jack Bums
completed 27 years as a peace keeper, last serving in
Bosnia, and is now dedicated to making a difference in this
Asian country.
Over the summer season members have served the community
with the Children's Garden Club, Farmers' Market
and Crossroads Ag. Fair. Doris Warke and Kathleen
Lawrence judged 21 completed gardens on July 29 and the
children were recognized for their efforts at the " Garden
Party" Aug. 6. First place gardens were given a red ribbon,
second place a blue ribbon, third place a green ribbon and
honourable mention a yellow ribbon.
Each participant received the Queen Elizabeth 50th
Anniversary 25- cenl coin. Rose Douglas gave a flower
pressing demonstration and Faye Nicholson displayed a
vase adorned with press flowers. Children are encouraged
to create a bookmark, card or picture from the pressed pan-sies.
These will be judged at the Halloween Party.
Ninety seven tables offered various products for sale at
the 12 Farmers' Markets from June 14 to Aug 30 held at the
Ghostpine B i Lo, Pine Lake. Scott and Lea Fraser will be
recognized for the use of their grounds.
Pine Lake W. l. sponsored the Needlecrafts section of the
local Agricultural Fair. Mary Ann Worthington was the
recipient of four " fat quarters" fabric quilt squares.
Congratulations to Roy and Marion Brown who celebrated
their 50th Anniversary on Sunday, July 14. Roy and
Marion expressed their appreciation to the Pine Lake
branch who served afternoon lunch and tea to the over two
hundred guests in attendance at the Pine Lake HUB.
Branch members and guests honoured Eric and Vera
Pierce on their 66th Wedding Anniversary in an August
visit to the West Park Lodge, Red Deer where the Pierces
Women's Institute
now make their home. Congratulations were also extended
to Eric Pierce on his 93rd birthday.
Jelly orders will again be filled by our faithful " jelly
maker," Kathleen Lawrence.
This is another way to enjoy fruits grown over the summer.
Millie Munro, health convener, reminded the members
to take advantage of fresh fruits and vegetables but to
remember canned and frozen are equally nutritious.
Fun time was provided by Marion Brown with an
A C W W country quiz.
The group tabulated 361 hours of volunteer service during
the summer.
