Report of the President - cont'd. Mrs. Corean Pleon resigned recently as Project Committee Chairman, due to family responsibilities. Mrs. Phyllis Geiger of Kitchener has agreed to complete Corean's unexpired term. Mrs. Aileen Hiller of Waterloo has agreed to serve as Assistant Project Chairman. The president, Mrs. Schaefer also thanked Corean for the 3 years she served as Project Committee Chairman, and the several years she served as assistant. Corean has been the co-ordinator for the luncheons at our annual meetings for the past few years. All her efforts on the executive have been appreciated. We were all saddened by the death of Mrs. Mavis Lewin on December 24, 1981. Mavis worked as executive assistant at Waterloo Lutheran Seminary office since 1969, and was always co-operative and helpful to the Auxiliary. In January 1982, members of the executive served refreshments for the fellowship hour following the memorial service in Keffer Chapel. In March, gift certificates from Fortress Church Supply Stores were presented to 11 Seminary graduates and 1 part time student. Thank you letters are on display in the church parlor from these students, as well as those who have received financial assistance from the Auxiliary during clinical training which is known as Supervised Pastoral Education (S.P.E.). You will see just how much this financial assistance is appreciated. In connection with the bursary given each year to a University student, we have received a letter from Mr. Horace Braden, Director of Student Awards at Wilfrid Laurier University, in which he outlines the procedure that is used whereby they interview scores of students regarding their financial needs, before awarding the $200.00 bursary to a student at Wilfrid Laurier University, given by the Women's Auxiliary. Mrs. Schaefer brought to the attention of the meeting that since many of our financial commitments must be paid in the Spring, such as fees for clinical training and gift certificates, there are times when there is not enough money in the treasury to cover all of our costs. Therefore, we would like to urge all contact persons to consider beginning their campaign for membership right after the annual meeting, so our money could be received sooner. We are very grateful for the beautiful quilts you make and donate for the Seminarians. This year our quilt report shows 33 quilts, 3 Thermal Blankets and 2 pr. pillowcases. However, 2 quilts have been received since the report was printed -- 1 from St. Stephen's, Kitchener, and 1 from St. Paul's Cambridge, and another 5 were received today, 1 each from Redeemer, Toronto; St. Matthew's, Hanover; Trinity, New Hamburg St. Peter's, Brodhagen; St. Peter's, Zurich; making a total of 4.0 quilts in all.
