My Friends, I am delighted to present to you, Helen McLellan, an avid member of St. Patrick’s CWL Council from 1951 up to this day. Despite her advanced age, she was still able to attend our council’s monthly meetings up until two years ago.

She was married and raised 5 children and she is widely known for her tasty candied apples. She says it is an honour to be a member of such a lovely and wonderful group of ladies at St. Patrick’s CWL. We say that she is a real gem!

We, too, have been honoured by her presence and awarded her the CWL 70 year pin. This pin is a public  testament to her life long dedication to our League and church community. 

We tried to make a video of this presentation but it didn’t turn out as well as we wanted since it was taken through a window in her care home. Fortunately, one of her care givers took this great picture of her on this, her special day.

Well done, Helen, good and faithful servant.
