South Bruce branch of RWTO celebrates the season with a Christmas Tea

A blustery day outside only served to enhance the warmth inside as the South Bruce branch of the Retired Women Teachers of Ontario (RWTO) met for a Christmas Tea, Wednesday, at Kincardine Baptist Church.

Area 1 director Shirley Greenwood joined 26 members for a delicious lunch and entertaining program.

Francesca Dobbyn, executive director of the United Way of Bruce Grey, was on hand to accept a sizable donation to the “For Our Kids” fund which endeavours to mitigate poverty-related issues for children in Bruce and Grey counties.

Two new members, Cheryl Wilken and Janet Browne, were welcomed to the group.

Canadian trivia knowledge was tested in a team competition and then several members shared their talents with poetry readings and stories. Dianne Simpson led a carol-sing, with Jean MacDonald on the piano.

Event chairperson Barb Ross wished everyone a Merry Christmas and a safe and healthy New Year, until the next meeting April 26, 2018.
