Description : "Surprised" is the way Ruby Kell, describes her reaction to being named Innisfil's citizen of the year.
Mrs. Kell, of Churchill, is president of the Stroud Senior Citizens. She's served with the South Simcoe Women's Institute and the Gilford Women's Institute, is President and secretary of the Gilford United Church Women, is a 4H club leader and was the first female member of the Innisfil Township school board.
When asked why she is such an involved citizen, Mrs. Kell says: "Because no one else would. It's a terrible job getting people to take offices."
DOESN'T KNOW
She doesn't know why it's so difficult for some people to get involved. "They say they can't do it, but there isn't any reason why anyone couldn't do as good a job as me, or better," says Mrs. Kell.
As a Women's Institute member. Mrs. Kell says the institute will remain in the area for many years. "We have far more young women than old," she says. "The newer women are quiet enthusiastic."
Mrs. Kell, and her husband, Robert, celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary Sept.29. That is also the day Mrs. Kell will be presented with her award from the Chamber of Commerce. "It's going to be a busy day," she says.
ENJOY PEOPLE
Even with her award, however, Mrs. Kell still considers the town she grew up in, Port Elgin, as home. She says, however, she likes Innisfil township. "I really enjoy the people," she says.
Mrs. Kell was nominated Citizen of the Year by Mrs. Myrtle Sawyer, Mrs. Sherman Todd and Mrs. Jean Hand, last year's Citizen of the Year.
