- 2 - BUSINESS SESSION 1. Report of President. Mrs. Dorothy Schaefer, president, reported that the Executive Board met 5 times to carry on the business of the Auxiliary between annual meetings. For the first time in many years, there was a full executive, with all offices and appointments filled. The executive assisted with the Fellowship Hour following the Reformation Service on October 31, 1982. Recently, on September 18, 1983, the executive served refreshments after the first chapel service of the new academic year. These contacts with the Seminarians are appreciated. In March, the president, on behalf of the Auxiliary, presented gift certificates from Fortress Church Supply Store to 12 Seminary Graduates and one part time student. The letters of thanks for the gift certificates and assistance with clinical training, were on display. A letter of thanks was read from Mr. Horace Braden, Director of Student Awards, Wilfrid Laurier University, for the $200.00 bursary to a W.L.U. student. Each year he interviews a large number of students before selecting the one they feel is most deserving of this award. Recently, a gift of $500.00 to the Auxiliary, in memory of the 5th president, Mrs. Olive Musselman, was given by her husband. We are thankful for this gift and will announce how it will be used at a later time. The executive is very grateful to the members of the Auxiliary for the beautiful quilts sent in again this year, as for the past 70 years, and which are much appreciated by the Seminarians. This year we have received 30 quilts, 1 pr. of pillowcases and $25.00 toward the cost of a quilt.
