Letters for Feb. 16

Lessons to learn from women

The BC Women’s Institute (WI) is celebrating WI Week from Feb. 13 to 19. Their mandate is to provide opportunities for friendship, education and self-improvement, along with charity, community work plus having a political voice for Canada’s rural women. The Glenwood WI will be holding a bake sale on Feb. 12 from noon to 2 p.m. in the Bulkley Centre. Great goodies to satisfy your sweet tooth plus information on the Institute.
