The Plumas UCW met in the church office with four members present. They reported 15 visits made to those sick or shut in. The minutes of the November meeting were read and adopted/seconded by Laura.

Thanks were expressed to Wendy for arranging our supper at Neepawa and our visit to Country Meadows. Thanks to Laurel for putting up and taking down our Christmas tree. Four hampers were prepared and taken to those in need in our area. The UCW contributed $150 and matched the church in this project. Thanks to Wendy for delivering our White Gifts to Portage; to Pat G. For sending our closing letter to our previous foster child in Haiti and a welcoming letter to our new child, nine-year-old Roalki from the Dominican Republic; to Norma and Allison and their group for preparing the funeral lunch for Allen Hogarth; to Koreen and Heather and youth members for preparing and serving the Pancake Supper.

Correspondence included news from the Counselling Centre, St. Andrews College, Lil Porosky (Gimli).

Donations to Pollyanna were received from Ruby Walker, Irene Moore, Doreen Fischer, Lois Clarke and Lil Porosky. Thanks to these past UCW members for remembering this office.

Laurel will look into the ordering of larger quantities of paper products for our use.

The soup, bun and dessert supper will be held March 16 with our next meeting to be held March 17.

The business meeting was adjourned by Laurel and closed with the Mizpah benediction.

We then turned to the material for the World Day of Prayer which we will present on March 7 at our regular church time of 9:30 am. We will meet after church on Sunday (Feb. 21) to complete our preparations.
