This year the Brackley Women’s Institute is celebrating its 30th an- niversary. Since its inception, the Institute has done much good for the community and has succeeded in bringing women of diverse ages and occupations together for the enrichment of all. Following is a copy of an article that appeared in the Charlottetown “Guardian”, Monday Oct. 4, I976. It accurately states the Executive, functions, and future proiects of the Brackley Women’s Institute.

Brackley - President Mrs. Charles Chandler opened the annual meeting of the Brackley Women’s Institute held at the home of Mrs. Hugh Campbell with a full attendance of members.

Donations for the year included those for Home Ec., law scholarship, music festival, heart foundation, mammograph machine, multiple sclerosis, nutrition education trust fund, and cerebral palsy. Members also collected for the Cancer Society and the Salvation Army. The Institute catered to a workshop and were hostess to a local district convention.
