Even after 100 years in operation, the Sydenham Women’s Institute is showing no signs of age, as they gathered for a crafts and bake sale in Sydenham’s Grace Hall Saturday.
“It was 100 years June 25,” said president Connie Selle. “For many, many years, we’ve been holding bake sales and craft shows in October and May.
“They help us raise money to help people in the community.”
She said the Women’s Institute helps fund children’s school trips, playground equipment, fire victims, 4H endeavours and shoeboxes for single moms, to name just a few.
“We try to keep things local,” she said. “If citizens need help and we find out about it, we’ll do the best we can.”
Beside the bake table and soup kitchen, Saturday’s sale featured 21 local vendors.
