Flashback to our October meeting: Greeters: Josephine Fraser & Merrily Walker Guest Speakers: Kenn Norman & Jonathan Walford Kenn & Jonathan took us back in time to explore Fashion History. They run The Fashion History Museum (FHM), which demonstrates that clothing can be both a necessity as well as a cultural expression. As an industry, it employs millions and is a driving force behind our global economy. The Museum was founded in 2004 with nearly 10,000 garments and accessories dating from 1600 to today. The old Post Office in Hespeler houses the Museum. There is so much more to see, so definitely plan to visit! Introduced by Diana Esmits Thanked by: Julia Boyd Mystery Woman for October Congratulations Elizabeth Golz.

John McCrae In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.
