IODE Atlantic Charter Chapter NB is part of a national women’s charitable organization dedicated to work together to improve the quality of life for those in need. Women of all ages and walks of life find fellowship, fun, and friendship as they work together on various projects that benefit our community. Our membership selects projects that benefit our local area as well as areas across Canada. Milltown Elementary School is our assisted school; and as such, we donate classroom supplies, make monetary donations to be used for projects that benefit the children of the school, and log in many volunteer hours in the building throughout the school year. Our major fundraiser involves coordinating and catering the St. In the past our fundraising brought the first driver’s education program to St. Stephen, purchased much needed books for our local and school libraries, and supported theater productions for the benefit of the students and community at large. Celebrating our 70th anniversary a few years ago, one of our members recalled how as a war bride she came to Canada knowing only her new husband but soon found a family with her sisters in IODE. Community Service, Education, and Citizenship are the three legs on which IODE rests. Come visit us and see what we are all about...rich in heritage, we have evolved with the times. Meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month Sept. through June. In the wake of the Covid pandemic, the chapter made use of the Zoom platform.
