As we move forward into the second century of the existence of this great organization, I wish for each of you continued successes in your endeavours. Life in communities where Women's Institute Branches exist, and have existed, have been enriched by the initiatives and programs developed by the members. It is my hope that the energy, and the visions that have been preludes to success, will continue, and be positive influences in shaping the future of Canada and our families. My congratulations too, to the Erland Lee Home Committee, for your dedication, and for your part in maintaining the Home, that integral part of our Heritage. My personal best wishes for a successful day. Yours Sincerely, For Home and Country, Charlotte Johnson, President F.W.I.C.
