Decrease in Westoba Greenbacks Loans During 1999 Christmas
In 1999 only seven people used the Westoba Credit Union Greenbacks loan program, issuing just $4,500 in Greenbacks. A Royal Bank opt out and a shift to new purchase services reduced participation from 1998 when 17 people borrowed $19,568. Merchants report mixed sales despite low Greenbacks use.

United Church Women in Glenboro Disbands After 37 Years
After 37 years of service to the Glenboro community the United Church Women voted to disband on December 31 1999. Last president Gwen Jefferies said aging members prompted the decision with Norma Hall noting the group formed in 1962 by merging societies. The UCW raised funds through events like the Annual Fowl Supper and supported community meals and donations to the Samaritan House Prairie Christian Training Centre and other groups. The Courtesy Committee will run funeral lunches until June, while the Church Board may take over the Fowl Supper. The group hopes to inspire a new generation to lead and continue their charitable work.
