\nThe Durham Friends Woman\u2019s Society met on February 21 at the home of Dorothy
\nCurtis. Twelve women attended. Theresa Oleksiw did a devotional reading. Susan Wood
\npresented the program. The topic was answering the call to do a new thing in life, and many of us shared times in our lives when that has happened.<\/p>\n
In other business, we were asked to pray for Sylvia Graves who has just retired as the
\nGeneral Secretary of FUM and for Colin Saxton who has just started in this position. The
\nTedford meal for February was Beef Stew, Minestrone Soup, a green salad, rolls and apple
\nberry soup. Funds were allocated for the \u201cAdopt a Nurse\u201d program, and plans were approved for fundraisers for this and other programs supported by Woman\u2019s Society. The annual Treasurer\u2019s report, prepared by Margaret Wentworth, was distributed. Woman\u2019s society received $6980.18 and distributed $5017.50.<\/p>\n
The majority of funds were acquired through memorial donations, and the annual yard sale.
\nMoney, $2000.00, is in reserve for the new Meeting Room sound system.
\nA silent auction will be held at the Meeting House at our next meeting on March 21. We will also be conducting an Easter Sunday Pie Sale. Please see separate article for details. Many of these funds will be earmarked for the Adopt-a-nurse program. Angie Reed requested and received support from Woman\u2019s Society for our first intergenerational book discussion to be held on May 22. Please see related newsletter article. Kitsie Hildebrandt closed the meeting with a quote on peace. Our next meeting will be on March 21 at the Meeting House. All invited to attend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
