Sec Mrs. Hilda Spurling, Pres- Mrs. Sadie Hamor Vice pres- Mrs. Hazel Hardy, Treas.Mrs Mable Stanley, Assis. treas. Mrs Lena Stanley Oct 21 the Ladies Aid met with 10 members. The meeting was opened by Mable with scrip reading. Am guessing at this as I was not there and my assistant did not not send me any report but I hope every one was busy. I had much rather be there working than doing what I was. Dec 9 The Ladies Aid met Dec 9 with only 3 old cripples but they had a good afternoon Just the same.. The meeting was opened by Emma, we had callers of 3 different people, 2 of them belonged to the aid but they wouldn't stay, guess they didnent like our company. Dec 30 the aid met with only 4 members. The meeting was opened by Ida. Although we was only 4 we had a very pleasant afternoon, worked like dogs that new Vice Pres will work us to death before our President gets back home. Mar 10 The ladies Aid met with 5 members. The meeting was opened by Rose, a very pleasant afternoon was spent arranging the food sale Mar 17. for the Red Cross drive hope we will get a lot of money -wasent our tea day but one of the members brought gingerbread. It was so tough one of the members had to take sharp knife & hammer but it was good with hot tea and it all disappeared. She took an order for more for the food sale! Sept 15 the Ladies Aid was invited to meet at the home of Mr. Bacon for an all day session to a lovely chicken dinner was served to 11 members by Hilda & Marjorie. Although it was a dark and stormy day outside, it was certainly bright & cheerful inside with plenty of bright flowers and 11 bright smiling faces working with all their might for the Ladies Aid when a long distance telegram came wishing the aid a happy and prosperous year. We was all sorry that Ida & Gertie couldn't be with us. Sept 29,1943 Rose Wedge -Sec, Hilda Spurling Assis Sec. Pres. Lena Stanley. assis pres. hazel Hardy, Tres -Alice Stanley, Assis Treas.
