The Museum was just one stop on a tour which brought together Members from both the Kingston and Trent Valley WI Areas. After several group tours of the Museum and the presentation of a very generous donation, everyone gathered for a beautiful photo at the front of the property. Then, before we knew it, the ladies were off to their next stop before heading back home. Thank you for the lovely visit! WHERE'S ADDIE? Adelaide Hoodless - "Addie" - is hidden somewhere inside this issue of the Home & Country ROSE Garden! Can you find her??
