The December meeting of the Purple Grove Women's Institute was held at the home of Marilyn Reid.
Members and guests answered the roll call by giving a gift for the Ripley and area Christmas Hamper program. The collection that was taken will be donated to Sleeping Children Around the World.
Joyce Farrell read the Scripture. The issue of the Tweedsmuir History being removed from the Ripley Library was discussed. A letter will be sent to the director of the Bruce County Library expressing our concern.
Mary Anne Kukoly thanked all those who helped with the meal for the Ripley Lions. Everyone was reminded of the Christmas Concert at the Community Centre Dec. 19.
Our convener, Janet Rhody, entertained us with some readings and contests and then introduced Tryntje Eisen of the Ripley and District Horticultural Society. She demonstrated the steps to make a Christmas wreath from natural trees and shrubs. All those attending then set to work to make their own wreaths. There was a lot of laughter as the wreaths were assembled. Tryntje was assisted by Sandra Husk.
Deanna Scott, Largaret McInnes and Betty Helm provided a tasty lunch.
