INNER WHEEL NEWS
September 2008
Jacqui Butcher writes . . . President Beryl opened the meeting by giving a
warm welcome to Eileen Marshall, wife of the president of our Rotary Club; also
to our two speakers for the evening, Sue Gruelich and
Eileen Day.
The
recent tea afternoon at the home of Margaret Partington
was greatly enjoyed by 18 members. They were all given a hat to wear for the
occasion and individual photos were taken as mementos of the event. Prizes were
presented to three of our members who were closest to guessing the number of
hats on display.
A
list of invitations from other Inner Wheel clubs has been sent to each member –
anyone wishing to participate in any of these functions should contact Jennifer
Newport.
Jane
Short was thanked for arranging the monthly walks which she has ably done for
the past four years. She now feels that, as numbers appear to be dwindling, that
maybe we should give this event a break
We
send our best wishes to Gunnell Weiler,
who has recently broken her arm; also to Mary Bowles who is recovering slowly
after radical surgery. We hope that they make speedy recoveries and hope that
they will soon feel strong enough to resume attending our meetings.
Our
speakers then gave an impassioned talk about the Fikelela
Aids Project Children’s Centre. This is a charity started by the Archbishop
of Cape Town in 2002. They are desperately in need of financial support and we
were pleased to present them with a cheque for £1000 – this was money raised
from our garden party.
