W.I. collecting advice for Emo Museum fundraiser

The annual meeting of the district Women’s Institute was held at the Emo Museum, with 19 members present.
Sheri gave the report, followed by Dr. Ingrid Krampetz’s presentation on “Preparing for a Healthy Life in Our Later Years: How to become a fine antique.”
The project is to collect a single piece of advice (“the best advice I ever received”) and send it to Dr. Kramptez at Box 446, Emo, Ont., P0W 1E0.
These will go into a calendar or booklet, with the proceeds going to the W.I. Museum in Emo.
