Craighurst W I April Meeting
By Sheila Craig, April 16, 2025
We met Tuesday to close out the old year and ring in the new – kinda like a famous Eve where Auld Lang Syne is rendered. But no, gentle readers, no corks popped at the CWI. First we held the business meeting. Minutes, treasurer, correspondence. Business arising involved noting that Oro-Medonte Township has postponed budget presentations because of the catastrophe called “Ice Storm”. Then the meeting fell apart as members either relived their own trials or their neighbours’. To drive the township’s byways is like visiting a battlefield. We encourage everyone hit by the ice storm to stay positive and call the local tree service! Then the meeting got back on track. We have a power of catering next month, so egg salad sandwiches here we come. Workers lined up, bakers raised their hands, backs straightened, chests were thrown out – I will stop. But readers you
get the war-time vibe? Next we declared the year over. All offices vacant.
No wait – here is the slate of new officers to put into those offices. “Oh great” cried the members, “Let’s get on with it”. The new executive was installed, they promised to do their duties, and the membership cheered.
Then we had a nice cuppa tea and went home. More next month with an Historical Speaker David Town, talking about the famous Oro-Medonte leader and chief Yellowhead.
