More letters on page 29 Sincere thanks Dear Editor The family of Ruth Paterson express their deep gratitude to Dr. Armstrong, the palliative team of Linda Dunford RPN, Dr. Boardman and Dr. Schurter, and the wonderful staff of West Shore Retirement Home here in Port Perry. With competence and genuine caring, they helped our mother through her illness and final days. We are grateful that Mom was able to remain at West Shore, her home for the past five years. The compassion and care of all the staff was truly remarkable and constantly with her until her peaceful passing on January 25th, 2017. Paul, Angela, Michael and Tricia Wakeford Seeking Women’s Institute members Dear Editor On Wednesday May 10th at the Scugog Community Centre, Durham Farm Connections and the four remaining Women’s Institutes in Durham Region are hosting an Alumni Tea for former members of this prestigious agricultural women’s organization. We need the public’s help in finding former members and hope your readers can assist. Durham Region was home to the 2nd WI formed in Canada in 1897 and at one time had over 34 local organizations. These women gave so much back to the community over their years of operation including scholarships and bursaries to our high schools, donations to the music programs, significant world war contributions in both wars and on a national level, the advocacy for the pasteurization of milk, painting of white lines on provincial highways, mandatory stopping for school buses, clear markings on poison containers and many other initiatives which improved the living conditions for our families and our communities. In this Canada’s 150th anniversary as we look back at our agricultural heritage it is time to say thank you to all those members and former members who contributed so much in their own quiet way. If you know of anyone who was a Women’s Institute Member please let us know so we can send them an invitation and hopefully have them attend. Their family and friends are welcome as well. My email is marilyn.pearce@sympatico.ca or call 905-985-9250. Hope you can help. Marilyn Pearce, Port Perry
