Erland & Janet Lee

Here's another pic for the memory books. It's the [Stoney Creek, Ontario, Canada] home once owned by Janet and Erland Lee, now a museum and soon to be headquarters of the Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario. On Feb 19, 1897 their dining room table here was the setting for the drafting of the constitution for the Women's Institute, now affiliated world-wide.

If you're interested in knowing more about the Women's Institute, here's a copy/paste from their website: "The Federated Women’s Institutes of Ontario is a not-for-profit charitable organization with affiliations around the world, working with and for women in rural and small town Ontario. Through the network of Branches, we offer educational programming and community support; advocate for social, environmental and economic change, and work towards the personal growth of all women, for home and country."

Many thanks for dropping by.
