PEIAHA October 2012 Annual Meeting

The Annual Meeting of the PEIAHA was held October 20th in Alberton PE. with 45 in attendance. 22 PEIAHA Life Members and 6 CAHA Life Members were recognized.

The guest speaker for the meeting was Sandra Ramsay, a Counsellor with West Prince Mental Health and Addictions. She spoke about some of the information she offers and methods she uses when working with people with drug, alcohol and gambling addictions as well as individuals dealing with mental and physical abuse. This information could be useful to all of us as we all deal with difficulties in our life.

After lunch, we were entertained by ‘Annie’ (aka Wanda Dunbar) from the Centre Line Road. Appearing to talk to her friend Sarah on the phone, she proceeded to tell Sarah about the goings on in her community, with comedy and delight.

PEIAHA Life Memberships were presented to:
  • Linda Patterson-Gibson (Kings County Memorial Hospital)

Congratulations ladies, and thank you for your contributions to our organizations.
