Presentation to be made Monday night Ladies, our next CWL general meeting is 12th May, at 7pm and our guest speaker will be a representative from Saugeen Hospice who will give us information about the hospice to be built outside Walkerton and on the progress of the build. We will present the speaker with a cheque for $1,500.00, our contribution to the build. This money has come from the change we collected in the Change for Charity jar during the year and also proceeds from our Silent Auction at the Christmas dinner.

That pushes the breakfast fundraising to $5096.70! We thank the Knights for picking up the costs of the breakfast and for providing this opportunity for good food and fellowship.
