The first meeting of the New Dundee Junior Women’s Institute was held at the home of Miss Selina Spaetzel, May 3rd, 1933 with the District President – Mrs. Robertson and the District Secretary – Mrs. Patterson being present. Mrs. Robertson had charge of the election of officers. A program was planned for each meeting under one of the following topics: Education, Literature, Historical Research, Legislation, Home Economics or Agriculture with a social hour following. During the winter months, the meetings were held pointly with the Junior Farmers of the community, usually in the New Dundee or Williamsburg school. Each year the Institute sent delegates to the Girls Conferenceat Guelph, where different members had the privilege of spending several days at the Ontario Agriculture College. The Junior Women’s Institute carried on until May, 1940, when, due to so many of the girls being marries and moving to other districts, it was deemed advisable to disland.
