Pine Lake - Isabelle Beck Twelve members and three guests attended the 35th Anniversary of Pine Lake WI. Five charter members were present— Marion Brown, Doris Warke, Vera Pierce, Ella Sawyer, and Prei da Bragg. Public Health and Advisory Board have refused the appeal to keep the regional landfill from going in at the headwaters of Pine Lake. We are frustrated, disappointed and disillusioned that they have given approval to build a landfill at this site. AWI is studying the water systems of Alberta. Each of the eight branches will make a map of the waterways of their area, listing industries and environmental concerns. The branches will put the maps together in the fall, to give an overview of the entire Red Deer Centre Constituency. This will provide a complete province-wide study as each constituency submits its own area study. Handicraft Tea was held in Red Deer, April 20. ' Let us celebrate ACWW Day a week early'— words of Marion Brown who chaired the evening of April 21, at the United Church in Olds wherein our Nicaraguan guests were entertained and reciprocated with accounts of farm life in their country.
