Congratulations to Audrey Galloway as the Mountsberg Women’s Institute Helps Raise almost $3,000 for FORCE

Several members of the Mountsberg Women's Institute and some other local quilters got together over the summer to create a beautiful quilt to be raffled, with the proceeds going to FORCE. Sue Restivo, an 11th Concession resident, was the driving force behind the quilt project, which took place at Lawson Park. Sue and Eleanor Scholey worked on it every day with others dropping in when they could. The draw took place on Wednesday December 1st, 2004.
