Letter to the Editor ljust returned from a fabulous weekend in Ridgetown at the FWIO Provincial Conference. I did hesitate to go, but decided to take my walker along, as I don‘t walk so well anymore. I am writing to thank so many people for all the help they gave me over the weekend. People showed me where the ramps were, told me about the elevator in the dining hall, offered to give me rides, opened doors, carried my meal plate to my seat, brought me a cup of tea, and so many other acts of kindness. With special thanks to my roommate and driver, Marian, who certainly was my right hand person through it all. Women‘s Institute ladies are very special people, and certainly know how to lend a hand when needed. Thank you friends!
