1908-The Cherry Valley Women's Institute formed

1998- A plaque was placed outside the Cherry Valley Town Hall to Commemorate the 90th Anniversary of the Cherry Valley Women's Institute. (1908-1998) To celebrate a Cherry tree was planted next to the plaque.

1999- The Cherry Valley Women's Institute donated a bench with a plaque for the Seniors of Athol in the International Year Of The Olders Persons (1999) in Hopes Seniors would be out walking and enjoy time on a lovely bench outside the Hall facing the gardens and roadway.

2022- Today, Three of the Cherry Valley Women's institute leaders and a local farm wife took on the task in finding clue #1, Finding a Women's Institute plaques, Halls or Projects near us in Cherry Valley. We had a meeting outside our town hall to discuss where to look. Due to Covid restrictions we met outside the Cherry Valley Town Hall and discovered the bench and plaques.

2028- Fast forward a few years, in the middle of the picture on the bench we have Alayna Guernsey, our next generation of Women's Institute leaders who are interested and eager to carry on such a wonderful and rewarding group.
