Thank Thee. Verna Smallman also read three other poems. Orell Smallman conducted the

     years ago. Fairley brought the meeting to order with the members repeating the Mary Stewart

     delivered the lunch to 50 participants of the P.E.I. Tip-to-Tip bike tour at the Mill River 
     
     Experience. Betty Sweet had no report of the hospital because the WI and the hospital meeting 
     
     took place on the same day. Thank you notes were sent out to all the volunteers who did the 
     
     grass cutting: Muncy Harris, Clayton Harris, Wayne Arsenault, Clair MacNeill, Charles Adams, 
     
     and Norman Woodside. The date for the Christmas party will be December 5 at 7 p.m. Meeting

     The November meeting of the KWI was held at the home of Isobel Harris. In absence of the 
     
     president, Betty Sweet chaired the meeting. The devotional was presented by Orell Smallman 
     
     based on Remembrance Day. Those who are old enough remember the anxiety of seeing the men 
     
     going overseas and some making the supreme sacrifice. Think of the sacrifice God’s son made 
     
     for us. Meeting closed with the Remembrance prayer written by Annie Smallman. Most 
     
     members attended the Remembrance Day service in O’Leary. Seven members answered roll call. 
     
     Minutes were read and approved. Correspondence included a letter about a cancer self-care 
     
     support program. Donations were made for Blooming House and cooking contest. No one was 
     
     available and no members were to attend the fall workshop. Fairley contacted DarMac to turn 
     
     water off at the school. Dr. Margaret Woodside once again donated $100 to the institute. A thank 
     
     you card was to be sent to her. Chelsey Maclssac sent a donation of $50 for the use of the school 
     
     for her bridal shower. Orell Smallman and Fairley Yeo visited Lorraine Harris in hospital. 
     
     Members were asked to attend our late member Marion Luxton’s funeral. Also, a donation will 
     
    
   
   
    
     be made to the Knutsford cemetery in her memory. Plans were made for the Christmas party
