Every year in March we celebrate the achievements of women from the past, present and future.
Among all those special women, here are some of our Famous Female Inventors
Marion Donovan
The inspiration for the Disposable Nappy/Diaper Mother
Marion Donovan began inventing what would eventually
become the disposable diaper when she got tired of the
never ending washing. Donovan's first invention came
in the late 1940s when she took a shower curtain and
sewed it into a waterproof cloth diaper cover. After the
product was panned by manufacturers, she continued to
improve on the design including adding plastic snaps
and branding the item as the "boater." Finally, Donovan
was able to sell the product to Saks Fifth Avenue and
later sold her company, along with the patents, for a cool
$1 million. In 1961, Victor Mills used the product as in-
spiration to create the first disposable diapers, Pampers.
Hedy Amarr
Use of Frequency-hopping radio to safeguard the Allies
in WWII
The Austrian beauty was more than just another pretty
face; she was an accomplished Radio Engineer. To-
gether with George Anthiel, Hedy developed the ‘Secret
Communication System’; the manipulation of radio fre-
quencies to keep wireless safe and private.
Their creation led to the formation of an unbreakable
code to prevent classified messages from being inter-
cepted by enemy code-breakers in WWII.

Tabitha Babbitt
The Circular Saw Tabitha belonged to a religious sect
called ‘Shakers’ which branched off from a Quaker com-
munity in Massachusetts in 1810.
She was weaving at home one day when she watched
men cutting wood with a pit saw, which is a two-handled
saw that requires two men to pull it back and forth.
Though the saw is pulled both ways, it only cuts wood
when it’s pulled forward; the return stroke is useless. She
decided then to lighten the burden of her brethren; she
made a saw prototype by attaching a circular blade to her
spinning wheel so that the back-and-forward movement of
the saw produced results.
Tabitha also helped to revolutionize the manufacture of
false teeth.

Carolyne Giroux
Director of Care
March is finally here, that means Spring is just around the corner! That also
means more sunshine and warmer days, I can not wait!
This month I would like to take the time to share a couple of points when wear-
ing a mask. Here are do’s and don’ts when it comes to masks:
• Wash your hands before and after touching the mask or face covering.
• Ensure your nose and mouth are fully covered.
• Ensure the mask or face covering is clean and dry.
• If your mask has tears or holes, change it.
• Replace your mask whenever it becomes damp or dirty.
• Disposable face masks should be used once and then thrown in the trash.
• Wash your reusable mask after each use, either by washing machine or
by hand.
• Don't wear a loose mask.
• Don't touch the mask while wearing it.
• Don't remove the mask to talk to someone.
• Don't hang mask from your neck or ears.
• Don't share your mask.
• Don't reuse masks that are damp, dirty or damaged.
On another note, I have very sad news to share. As some of you are already
aware, Caroline Gallant was expecting a little baby in July 2021. You probably
noticed that she hasn’t been around lately… Unfortunately, she suffered from
a miscarriage after 16 weeks of pregnancy… We are so sorry for your loss
Caroline and sending all our caring thoughts your way and hoping for peace
and healing when you’re ready. Please keep her and her partner in your
thoughts and prayers during these difficult times.
Thinking of you.

For those of you who are interested, once we have harvested it, I will bring maple syrup

Lord Jesus, I come before you, just as I am, I am sorry
for my sins, I repent of my sins, please forgive me. In
your Name, I forgive all others for what they have done
against me. I renounce Satan, the evil spirits and all their
works. I give you my entire self, Lord Jesus, now and
forever. I invite you into my life, Jesus. I accept you as
my Lord, God and Savior. Heal me, change me,
strengthen me in body, soul, and spirit.
Come Lord Jesus, cover me with your Precious Blood,
and fill me with your Holy Spirit. I love you Lord Jesus.
I praise you Jesus. I thank you Jesus. I shall follow you
every day of my life. Amen.
