1968 EVENTS
Mrs. Lyle Munro became a new member in 1968 and i s to be congratulated
on her perfect attendance record. Other members achieving perfect
attendance were: Mrs. R. Brown, Mrs. K. Clutton, Mrs. E. Fierce, and Mrs. J.
Warke. Attendance averaged 9.5 with the v i s i t o r average of 2 throughout the
eleven meetings held. Mrs. E. Pierce became our 1968 walk- along champion.
Each member paid her 50 per mile for walking to the A p r i l meeting.
Katherine Anne Elizabeth, a potential W. I. member, was born to the happy parents,
Mr. & Mrs. Robert Lawrence on December 9, 1968. Sympathy was extended to the
families of Mrs. Rose Fierce and Mr. Hans Ahrens who passed away during the year.
Projects were manv and varied. The f i r s t community project of
the year was a bean supper held & x c a a H u b Community Centre. Mrs. D. Smith
writes: " The annual bean supper was held March 10, 1968 at the Pine Lake Hub
Community Centre. This was held i n conjunction with the F. U. A. Bonspiel again
and benefited those who were curling around supper time as well as our W. I.
Receipts of $ 56.00 were turned over to our project of supporting a Korean child.
Attendance recorded was 77. Recommendations for next year would be to have more
potato salad and cabbage salad. There was plenty of beans and pies for dessert.
To serve the potato salad with an ice cream scoop might allow i t to go further."
Inuvik Centennial Library was donated 150 pounds of used books
plus a $ 10.00 cash donation for the purchase of new books.
We continued to sponsor Lee, Jong Yul, a Korean orphan, in
conjunction with four other W. I. groups. Mrs. J. Sawyer acted as branch chairman.
" We started i n Octobenl966 with the adoption of a six year old Korean
boy whose birthday i s June 20, 1959. Four other W. I. branches joined with us
to share the expense. Total yearly basic costs i s $ 108.00— our share being $ 27.00.
We remembered him at special times of the year. A Christmas g i f t of $ 2.00
consisted of mittens, candy bag, crayons, and coloring book. For his seventh
birthday i n June we sent ( along with the other groups) 20 pounds of goods which
were a l i t t l e T s h i r t , l i f e saver candies, pencils, and crayons. Each #. I. share
was # 3.50. In October 1967 the yearly sponsoring fee was raised to $ 120.00
To help our fee to be raised we auctioned wrapped parcels each bearing a l e t t er
of the alphabet. This was a clue to the contents, e. g. " B" for buns. Proceeds
amounted to $ 13.00. We also had a Thankful Fund to which a l l family members
could contribute. In 1968 his birthday g i f t was a T s h i r t , cereal bowl, and a
picture book of animals and flowers and at Christmas he received a sweater,
mittens and candy. The four groups are making a q u i l t to be sent when i t i s
finished. Each of our members have been taking turns sending a l e t t e r or card
to Lee, Jong Yul and i n return we receive l e t t e r s 1 rom him written i n Korean
and translated into English."
In April Mrs. R. Brown, Mrs. E. Pierce, and Mrs. J. Sawyer
canvassed the d i s t r i c t for the Cancer Society. $ 88.00 was gratefully received.
Coffee Party: The annual coffee party was held at the Pine
Lake Hub Community Centre. The usual coffee party invitations were sent out
to groups and some individuals. As these are hard to come by, i t was suggested
for future use that we make our own invitations. Attendance recorded was 69
guests and Mrs. Kutch of Pine Lake won the door prize. Receipts were as follow*>
Plants and Aprons $ 26.70
Baking $ 48.01
Door Receipts $ 24.50
The baking can always be increased as i t i s very popular and more d o i l i es
for sale was suggested.
