'Tis the season for gatherings and there are many going on. But we do feel badly for the folks who aren`t feeling too well. Please get well soon.

PURPLE GROVE WOMEN'S INSTITUTE
The December meeting of the Purple Grove Women’s Institute was held at the home of Fran Farrell. The Scripture was read by Largaret McInnes. Our roll call was answered by gifts being donated to the Ripley Christmas Hamper. A collection was taken with the proceeds to be given to the organization ‘Sleeping Children Around the World.’
During our business discussion, it was decided to send some funds to the Women’s House Serving Bruce and Grey and the Purple Grove Community Centre. Our December birthday lady, Joyce, had some humour for us. President Janet Rhody also had some humorous readings. Mary Anne Kukoly reported on the plans for the Purple Grove Christmas Concert, set for Saturday, Dec 19, at the Community Centre.
Our Convener, Marilyn Reid, continued with our theme of humour. She then presented all the items for a craft we were going to do, supplied by Joanne VanDam, in order that everyone could make an adorable snowman. It was amazing to see all the different expressions on the snowmen. After the major work was done, we gathered to sing Christmas carols. It was good to have our 92-year-old helping out with the harmonies for the carols.
Maureen Collins, Marilyn and Janet R. supplied a great lunch. Lots of laughter ensued around the table while we were making the snowman and enjoying lunch.
