It was decided to hold their annual picnic at Albury Church grounds and basement the second Wednesday in June, bringing their husbands and friends to help with the work. So, on June llth the Institute met at Albury Church basement with the Albury cemetery board of directors, told them what they proposed doing toward cleaning up the cemetery, and received permission to form a new board of directors. In 1914 the Institute held a social at Albury Church in aid of the cemetery fund. The cemetery has been one of the Institute's outstanding works. Borders and shrubs have been planted, water supply and careâ€" taker's expenses looked after, fences and gates provided. All during World War I, the minutes of their meetings are full of Red Cross Work.
