This annual event is one of the year‘s most pleasant meetings, with members refreshed after the summer break, except perhaps for those in the tourist business. One new member and three guests were welcomed. President, Thea Dodge, opened the meeting, the Ode and Collect followed. Minutes of the last meeting were read and the treasurer's report was presented. It was decided against having a chicken barbeque in 1987. Six members expressed interest in attending the annual Fall W.l. Conference in Brockville, Oct. 6â€"7. A discusssion on nature followed the business session. Most members are avid naturalists. It was agreed that we live in a beautiful area with rich and varied flora and fauna, that must be preserved as settlement encroaches. Judging by comments heard, there is still much pleasure to be derived from observation of the local wild-life. Adrian Forsyth's book on mammals was highly commended. Some of the Bonwill fimily's beautiful pictures of Lake Opinicon were shown at the end of the meeting. Our next meeting will be held on October let at 7:30 p.m. at the home of Don and Lola Timpany, Clear Lake. ELGIN U.C. W.
