This was our Christmas meeting with Sister Heather MacDonald and Brother Frank Nemeth as our Pro-tem Worthy Matron and Worthy Patron.

We were please to welcome 1 GGCCM, two Past Grand Matrons, one Past Grand Patron and two Grand Officers.

After the minutes and correspondence were taken care of, Sister Terry Clark was installed as Associate Matron. Sister Anita Young acted as Installing Matron and Sister Brenda Shaw-Radford was the Installing Marshal.

Under Good of the Order, the Trustees and Card Convener presented their annual reports. As the books had not yet been audited, the Secretary, Treasurer and Auditors will give their reports at our January meeting.

Sister Debbie Gamble and Brother Frank Nemeth were presented with Grand Representatives Commissions – Sister Debbie to Saskatchewan and Brother Frank to Wisconsin. Sister Anita Young presented these on behalf of the Worthy Grand Matron.

The meeting closed early allowing us more time to enjoy fellowship and lots of Christmas goodies. During the social, we also had our gift exchange and a ½ & ½ draw.
