fwqu ’5 Mar WI News Ten members and one guest gathered on the . very rainy day last Thursday at the home of Martha Mattell. With all the rain and lack of sunshine it was a good time to share many cups of different types of tea and eat hot bis- cuits and Scones. Several articles were read about tea. new year resolutions and knitting enthusiasts. Due to technical difficulties, meaning I had my son set up the VCR not the DVD player. so we did not watch the movie, The Calendar Girls. We will watch this at next month‘s meeting at Vivian MacDonald. ' We_used the time to organize our 100th year anniversary to be planned for June 15. 2005. As we finalize how we are going to put the program on and be entertained. wait for comâ€" ing details. We will have our fish dinner near the end of May. As usual we answered the roll call of how we spent New Year' 5 Eve. Everyone except Dave and Connie Adams, who shouted around Red Bay and received no response, went to bed before the midnight oil burnt out. FEE) 10 On a beautiful February 10. nine members of Mar W1. gath- ered at the home of Vivian MacDonald. We shared news of the community including the recent fire in the home of the Carey’sin Red Bay. Toni Budge lost the contents of her room to smoke damage. Toni and Mark Martell have been friends since living in Red Bay and now share their experiences of loss due to fire. While Vivian served hot apple crisp, not in competition with Martha's hot tea biscuits from the last meeting, roll call was said. Different ways of using soda. salt and lemon as well as vinegar was shared. This went along the pro gram of health as the natural cleaners were better for us and the environment than the toxic store bought ones. Gord MacDonald shared his insight into natural health using much of his experience when he i and hisDadownedahealth food store in the Stratford area. Gord talked about total health which includes our surroundings such as ' maintaining the proper humidity to ionizers. The balance in food consumed from alkaline to acidic as well as quality verses quantity all affects our health. Gord ‘ stressedcleansing once a year by fasting using vegetable juices and herbal teas, to eliminating processed sugars and white flour. to making sure to use stone I ground flour to retain the wheat germ is important. Exercise that [S enjoyable as well as outlook and attitude and looking for the good in life are important keys to total health. Eggs are still a good food while mar- garine and trans fats are to be avoided We need 30% fat in our diet so make sure it iS good fat. verses no fat. When diet is die mine it I is not losing the pounds that count but gaining health. Remember refining our foods has not improved them such as using apple Cider Vll’lEe gar or brown rice. The white vinegar is realiy only good for household Cleaning. We recon, gise the use of so many drugs has created many health issues. We have forced many doctors to handing out prescription drugs when a little education on our part would help us bet‘ ter understand the many side affects and how toxic these drugs are. Our next meeting will be on March [0 at the home of Doreen Lumb. We will be finalizing more details of our IOO anniversary of the Mar Women‘s Institute. We have chosen M arch 7 to have a movie night to watch the Calendar Girls. This will take place at the home of Vivian MacDonald, We may wine and cheese it but bring your own popâ€" corn. We thanked Vivian for hosting while Colleen displayed the last quilt the ladies of Mar had quilted. Colleen had ept this quilt for a long time at her house and it was going to be hung up at the hall. It had been the tradition that should a family experience a disaster that the quilts be given away [0 the family in need. The quilt was presented to the Martells and will be truly treasured. ,H r' M w.i. RM’URT Apanools! iii;.l,.inlv.x.v,.l_l.ll I .. Girls after all do: in in, in ‘v: Monday.
