Groups donate to various causes
May 11th, 2008
The members of the Crapaud Women’s Institute met in the seniors common room for their April meeting.
Nine members were present. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved, and the treasurer gave out copies of the financial report.
Correspondence consisted of a thank-you card, letters from the Queen Elizabeth and Prince County hospitals and the Bedford MacDonald House and the WI Notes and News.
The members were asked to bring grab bags to the May meeting to be sold at the provincial convention.
Members were also reminded of the bake sale to be held at the garden show.
Funds were voted to the Queen Elizabeth and Prince County hospitals and the Bedford MacDonald homeless shelter.
Members were reminded that the provincial convention will be held on May 28.
The members of St. John’s Anglican Church Women, Crapaud, visited Andrews Lodge in Charlottetown for their April meeting and social time and had as their guests Muriel Crosby and Annie Moore, former members of the group who are now living at the lodge.
President Marilyn Myers welcomed everyone and then read about how being an older women can be rewarding. She used as examples Mary and Elizabeth from the Bible as it was quite possible that Elizabeth gave Mary, the mother of Jesus, encouragement and support as she prepared for the birth of Jesus.
Gladys Lowther read a scripture lesson from Titus.
The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved, and members answered roll call with a verse of Scripture.
Some of the members also read some funny church stories, and lunch was served, provided by the members. Stories and reminiscences of the picnics, suppers, get togethers and friends past and present were enjoyed before the guests were helped back to their rooms,
Upcoming events include a Mother’s Day tea to be held at the old Canoe Cove School today, 2-4 p.m. Admission is $5 at the door. It is sponsored by the Canoe Cove Community Association, and proceeds will go towards the beautification and maintenance of the old school. Tea and sweets will be provided. All are welcome.

Hard to do when the government is spending as much as it is, and is giving out debt checks to all in May.

When people are donating something they are not using, they don’t take into consideration that it is going to be costing them more money

I’m supportive and all, but aren’t there enough extremely wealthy Jews in America to fund them without my money?

Ditto.

In other words, waste lots of my energy, leaving my computer on longer with all four cores at 100%. Gee that wont cost me anything.

Not giving any monies, chances are it will go to bail out Hillary’s debt. But I did join the site and plan on getting involoved.

Dood, the chicas are usually fine. All single males - go and git some.

There’s an entire general election to raise money for.

I gave another 25 bux. More important than monetary donations is volunteer effort, so let’s get out there. If nothing else, the chix are usually pretty cool.

I used to participate in that kind of projects (like the Bovine or SETI-Project) in the ’90s, back then computers (486 in my case) were always running at 100% anyways, so you were really donating your free CPU cycles. Now it doesn’t make sense anymore because computers use a lot of energy at peak performance that you need to pay for not to mention that they make more noise, etc.

i was really surprised when i heard this. has this happened before in past elections? buying someone out so they quit? seems like a ridiculous notion. such a move would seem to ruin not only hillary’s credibility (whatever is left, i guess) but also obama’s.
