WILLIAM WATTS (President) As Centennial year 1967 G@raws to a close we would like to join. the other women's groups in the city by reporting what we have done for our community and for our club. In the beginning of the year we were invited by a sister aux- jliary, Branch 2 of Toronto, to install their officers. We did this with a great deal of pride and pleasure. We also partici- pated in our own Drumhead Parade for the first time. A $100 donation was given to the men's club for the children's picnic and two dozen tables for the club rooms. ~* A quilt was made of em- broidered blocks of the coat of arms of the ten provinces and trimmed with the Corps colors of gold and blue. It was raffled and won by Mrs. Thelma Taugh of Oshawa. A successful summer league of darts for the members was enjoyed and a closing party was held at Mrs. William Watts' home with a chicken supper and an evening of cards and darts which 27 ladies at- tended. A ladies' dart tournament has been planned for Novem- ber 18, and women players from Oshawa and outlying dis- tricts have been invited. This will be held at our hall. Aux.
