Me at 93
by Anne Palmer I get up in the morning and what do I see A wrinkled old woman of ninety-three I stretch my arms and give my legs a rub Then I'm off to the bathroom facing the tub. I wash up and dress and prepare breakfast so slow For today we've got a meeting and later a show I do my chores not always the best Then I stretch out, and take a noonday rest. My friends they call me to see if I'm fine I'm truly busy on the line They remind me of events that are coming up I sip my coffee and put down my cup. Some days are hectic with too much drive All I can say is, "Thank God I'm still alive".

F i v e Point W.I. Celebrates 65 Years
L. Koniegny
n the summer of 1940, Five Point W.I. Branch was organized and named for the 5 School Districts: Pathfinder, Fidelity, Lake Geneva, Bloomington and Hamilton. There were 14 charted members. One Alice Modin remains a member of 65 years! The initiation fee was 25 cents. Members knitted socks, made jackets, made quilts, filled ditty bags and sent razor blades and cigarettes for the boys overseas throughout the war years. The branch has had many fund raising projects to support scholarships, supplies for foreign countries, and local charities. This group was instrumental in erecting a Hospital Cairn in 1969 with donations from many groups. This commemorates the establishment of the first Municipal Hospital in the British Commonwealth 50 years earlier. As in the past this branch is active in supporting the library, Historical Society, Scholarship in Grade 12, Most Improved Student Award in Grade 6 supplying lunch at Bingo for a month and serving pie and coffee for the Community Wide Garage Sale. Congratulations Five Point!wi
