Wellington-Halton Distric Women’s Institute recently celebrated ACWW Day (Associated Country Women of the World).
A breakfast was served by the Alma WI to members of seven district branches.
The speakers Verna Bird and Cindi Rabstien shared their memories of the world conference held in England last summer.
Bird noted that the 600 delegates attending from 74 countries could all communicate in the English language.
One resolution that touched Bird was the need for a light at night in the refugee camps to protect the refugee women and children.
Musical entertainment was provided by Helena Rooyackkers.
The hall was decorated to celebrate Canada 150.
The members enjoyed displays from England and Africa.
The meeting closed with the singing of O Canada after which a social time was enjoyed by all.
