Institutes Hold Gala in Eden Mills Hall Christmas Joint Party

Eden Mills and Eden Crest Women’s Institutes held their annual December meeting together in Eden Mills town hall. Over 70 members attended a Christmas program with solos by Mrs Bertha Lobye and Mrs Elizabeth Hewat, a Tagore poem read by Mrs Dusty Lowrie, and candle lighting ceremonies led by presidents Mrs Evelyn Barden and Mrs Fred Gardiner. Santa distributed gifts as members handed in gifts with donor names, and prizes were awarded for musical chairs and a knitting bag. Ice cream cookies and beverages followed a salad lunch, with mutual thanks from both institutes and calls for more joint meetings.
