Monday, March 21, the Bruce United Church Women (UCW) Presbyterial Annual Gathering was hosted by Pine River United Church. President Lynda MacKenzie welcomed almost 80 women to a day of music, worship, education and fellowship. Guest speaker was Kevin Martin explaining the current scams in our local area and how to avoid being fooled. Scams can be generated by computer, telephone, mail and door-to-door. Thank you to Pine River UCW for a lovely day and to Arthur UCW which will be hosting the June Joy Day.
The Houghton and Simpson families have been visiting with their parents, Doug and Shirley MacDonald, last week and for Easter.
