Pine Lake History - 1976 - 1989

T2r^~ .
Pine Lake Women's Institute began the
new year with " International Youth Year"
as its 1985 theme. P . E . I ., the twin Canadian
province, will also continue to be studied
until June .
In contrast to the 1985 theme, Kathleen
Lawrence concluded a series on " Coming of
Aging ." Mrs . Lawrence stressed that aging
is universal, a normal stage of life and a
privilege not enjoyed by previous genera-tions.
Weathering the years can best be ac-complished
by having a plan for your life,
adapting to change, taking responsibility for
your own life, keeping active, conserving
energy, having a network of friends, and
being hopeful and optimistic .
To commemorate the 30th anniversary of
Pine Lake Women's Insititute, the branch
will publish a 1986 Pine Lake area calendar .
These will be available mid- summer 1985.
Marion Brown received an award for the
