Re: Erection of a Plaque in Memory of Author
Marian Keith
Dear Mrs. Horne:
In December of 1988 a letter was forwarded to the
Rugby W.I. with respect to the erection of a Plaque for Marian
Keith, requesting they advise if the Rugby W.I. would have any
interest in the matter. A copy of that letter and material
forwarded to them regarding the action that had been taken by
the Oro History Committee and corespondence to the Simcoe
County Historical Sites Committee and Province of Ontario, both
indicated that they would not participate in the project.
At the January meeting of the Rugby W.I. the laetter was
considered and the President advised that the Institute would
be interested in the matter and further advised that a member
of the Harvie Settlement W.I. had been the Speaker at this meeting
and had indicated that possibly the Harvie Settlement W.I. might
be interested in the matter of erection of a plaque.
Therefore a copy of the letter to the Rugby W.I. and the
material forwarded to them is enclosed herewith for your inform-
ation and presentation to your institute. Mrs. D. Illingsworth
advised that this should be forwarded to you.
Should your Institute be interested, please advise in
writing as to whst interest and participation your Institute
would be willing to undertake. It is suggested that you commun-
icate with the Rugby W.I. and possibley together come up with a
program on the project, with the Township. A meeting with the
Township Council could be arranged to work out details.
