My wonderful Amherst visit and Induction of 4 new members!

Amherst increased their numbers by 30% last evening. Four lovely new members were inducted: Barb, Cheryl Canning, Gail Laliberte and Judy Boutlier!

Sharon Merrill, the Amherst Y's Menette President, and I did the Induction Ceremony for these four lovely new members. It was exciting!

It was good to see Nancy Trenholm, Tillie Stilman, Oena Fullarton, Mabel Mac Eachern, Ruth Short and Gayle Trenholm - and Gayle's beautiful boxer named Goblin!

Gayle is their youngest member, and she may be the youngest member of Y's Menettes in the Maritimes Region! She is the daughter of Nancy and Thomas who are so well known in the Y's Men Movement. Amherst may also have the oldest member in the Maritimes Region at 103 years!

Here is President Sharon giving the new women their Y's Menette pins.

The meeting went well and the lunch was delicious. I stayed the night with Ruth and Vern Short. It was a lovely peaceful environment to stay the night. Ruth and I have a great chat over breakfast of toast and her homemade raspberry jam!

Nancy Trenholm is caring for her granddog, Goblin. What a sweet Boxer.

Sharon Merrill put lovely little sparkly pumpkins on all the tables!
