Author bio:

Dawn Beecroft Teetzel, is a writer and poet, a retired farmer and shepherd, a spinner of tales and wool. She resides in Bothwell, Ontario with her life-mate and love, Ted. Born in the wrong century, Dawn is a lover of all things past, all things in nature, and old, musty books.

About the book, My Mary:

Most have never heard of The Barnardo Foundation, or the children they sent to Canada, however, it is estimated one in ten Canadians is a direct descendent of a Home Child. My husband's grandmother, Mary, was one of them. I am compelled to tell her story, and I hope it will help raise awareness for these often forgotten children. 

Membership & activities at The Centre is open to adults ages 30 and up. The Centre is always welcoming new members.
