EXTRACTS FROM ANNUAL REPORTS 18 1902 - 1947

It is not possible here to record fully the contribution of time, effort, and money by the various women's groups to the well-being of the Kirk. However, a glance at the activities pursued down through the years will give some indi- cation of the loyal and generous support given ministers, Sessions, and Trustees.

It might be noted that while the efforts of the Guild were on community involvement, the Ladies' Aid assisted greatly in easing the financial burdens facing the Trustees.
