12 NORTH LEEDS LANTERN OCTOBER 1989 SEELEY'S BAY U.C. W. After months for holidays, it to meet ourselves season. With President Dorothy Heys in the chair and Joyce Basely as hostess, all were welcomed. Helen Sweet gave us an inspiring devotional, just right for all of us â€" "Looking forward to a good harvest - providing we have been giving ourselves generously." Minutes of June meeting were read and approved. Also, our treasurer brought us up to date with our finances. Members were reminded about U.C.W. activities in the near future: Rally and our annual Turkey Supper to be held in the Fire Hall on September 23. A meeting was called to plan this event. It is hoped that everyone will help generously. Our "Special" for the evening program, which we were all looking forward to, was the address by Mrs. Major, one outstanding missionary who has lived on 3 continents and had much to tell us. Mrs. Major and her husband (now deceased) have been missionaries for many years. Listening to her was like listening to the story of her life. She spoke in a friendly, informal way that brought everything to life, in Lahore, India. She told of her relationship and real fellowship being closed for two our summer was really good again and make ready for the fall with the ordinary folks (and the extraordinary). There was hardship, of course, and sadness too, but the main picture of her life dwelt on the close contacts and attachments she holds for India. To illustrate her talk, Mrs. Major showed us many pictures, articles of clothing, beautiful handicrafts, etc. and demonstrated how to wear and use them. We know her influence and experience and example will be felt by our church and Christians everywhere. Meeting closed, and while enjoying refreshments, Mrs. Major's "India" was the chief topic of conservation. We hope for a full attendance of members and perhaps new ones at our October meeting. SEELEY'S BAY SCHOOL REUNION On Saturday, July 15, 1989 over 500 people converged on the village of Seeley's Bay for a once in a lifetime event, the reunion of students who attended school in the village. The day began with a pancake breakfast at the Legion Hall followed by regisâ€" tration in Centennial Park where former students mingled and visited under clear sunny skies through~ out the morning. At 10 AM the Old Time Fiddlers from Kingston tuned up and entertained the crowd until noon. After a suitable break for lunch everyone returned to the Park at two oclock for a salute to former teachers; Orvin Martin, chairman of the reunion committee, welcomed everyone and introduced the former teachers who took their place on the platform.

For all those who attended the day was a great success which was in a large measure due to the efforts of the reunion committee and the cooperative spirit in which community members and service clubs provided equipment and facilities. Financially, the reunion was also a success.
