September Fireside meeting: Monday 21st at 2pm.  We welcome women of the congregation and their friends to join us.  After several meetings with excellent speakers this month will be a chatting time so that we can catch up with people.  As well it would interesting if some people would tell us about the reason for, or history of, some of their family names. I heard recently about someone recently finding out from genealogical information that unknown to them before an unusual first name in their family had been used for generations.  Enquiries: Margaret ph 366 8936.
