Retired Women Teachers’ Association

June Slobodian

The Retired Women Teacher’s Association of Manitoba held their Fall Luncheon and Fashion Show on October 2, 2014. Louise Burton, our own Fashion Coordinator, conscripted 15 RWTAM members to show Nygard’s fall fashions. Pianist Charlotte Stetch accompanied the models as they strutted their stuff on the runway. Special thanks to our beautiful models: Eleanor Schultz; Mary Pankiw; Rosemary Sharness, Barbara Drouin, Brenda McConnell, Amy Eisner, Sandra Cerqueira, Dorothy Young, Pat Johnson; Nancy Fennell, Sylvia Semeniuk, Donna Majnusz, Mary Zadorozny, Orysia Jackson and Jean Lloyd.

New members were welcomed. Everyone received a discount certificate from Nygard, and several lucky ladies received door prizes.

Our December luncheon will be a sit down turkey dinner on December 11 at 11:30 a.m. Place: Masonic Temple at 420 Corydon Avenue. Entertainment: “Sisters By Choice”.

All retired women teachers are invited to attend. Phone June Slobodian: 237-4511 for more details.

Southwest Assiniboine (continued from previous page)

Prior to leaving Glenboro, we assembled at “Sara’s Statue” for the “mandatory” group picture.

At this point in our tour we were ready for the final leg of our journey which consisted of a visit to the Sisiweske Nuseum located in the village of Wawanesa (originally known as Sisiweske, the Cree word for “light through the trees”). Once again, artifacts featuring the history of this community, including those of the Wawanesa Mutual Insurance Company, were viewed with a great deal of interest.

And. . .as all good tours should end. . .we enjoyed a delicious and relaxing supper (dinner) at the well-known “Kurt’s Schnitzel House Restaurant” in downtown Wawanesa.

Plans are already underway for another tour in 2015.
