Pr. Education ‘ and Cultural Activities Nancy Murray Convener Branches continued to educate the members about the W1 organization. Here are some ideas: : prepared a skit “Know your WI” I compiled their branch history for 25th anniversary, each member received a copy v compiled a booklet to help new members understand what W1 is all about . many studied the handbook, followed by a quiz ‘ held workshops related to the convenership - attended the FWIC Convention in London. Ontario and gave reports ‘ prepared studies and quizzes on ACWW to become familiar with this part of the organization Some people have difficulty deciding what should be sported under education programs. One Convener ex~ mind how to differentiate when she stated. “almost any -rogram can be educational” but only programs that are ‘studies of education” should be reported here. Some rat were reported are 200 years of education in Lincoln ounty; assertiveness training; programs on computers tnd mi‘croteehnology; a teacher being the occupant of the ‘hot seat" during a question period about the local chool system; community action was shown when a corn utttee worked to keep their local school open. Programs related to cultural activities are as varied as ur imagination can carry us and branches had no prob- ‘cm finding something to do. They remembered Johann ‘icbastian Bach’s 300th birthday by playing his music: made visits to the theatres to see live productions; pre- cnted histories of fans. dolls, quilts. paisley print; rc- rtewed books; compared the uniqueness of Canadian ‘Jainting to worldwide art; formed a singing group which entertains at various functions; held a workshop on water :olours; hosted a history fair and invited all other branches of their district to participate; promoted Inter national Day with an exchange of ethnic recipes and learned about culture and customs of many countries: watched’a master potter at work and visited local stain- ed glass works.
