FOREWORD T^ he 65th Anniversary in 1974 of the Alberta Women's Institutes -•• was a milestone reached and it seemed the logical time to update the History of the Organization from 1955 to 1975. This Supplement includes a biography of each President along with a record of accomplishments, special projects and events, educational programs conducted on selected topics and highlights of her term, as well as a record of Conventions held, resolutions passed and Anniversaries celebrated. Throughout this span of years continued progress has been made in keeping with Institute aims and objectives. Educational programs and projects have been designed to meet the challenge of the ever changing times. Briefs have been presented, surveys conducted and questionaires completed on issues of interest and concern to the homemaker. Our Organization's opinions have been sought on issues of the day by various Government Departments. Our craft displays continue to be outstanding. Branch Institutes continue to provide numerous services within their respective communities as well as supporting Federated and Associated Countrywomen of the World projects. A. W. I. Girls' Clubs have continued to flourish. With the establishment in 1975 of a Provincial Office along with the assistance of a $ 25,000.00 Government Grant for extended educational programming in the rural areas Alberta Women's Institutes continue being regarded as a progressive Organization. Alberta Women s Institute can look to the future with confidence as long as there is a need for an organization of dedicated volunteers working together for the betterment of " Home and Country". I acknowledge with thanks the following for their assistance with the compiling and publication of this supplement: — The Past Presidents who submitted summaries of what transpired during their term of office. Mrs. Kay McMillan for her co- operation in making available sources of reference on file in the Office. The present Council who are responsible for the printing and publishing and to anyone else who contributed information and effort toward the supplements completion. Thanks to all and may it provide enjoyable reading as well as a source of information for all Institute members. Ethel M. Morrisroe 2
