To
Hurstbridge C.W.A.
Hurstbridge C.W.A is a
small group of active women who meet on the third
Wednesday of each month. We discuss such things as
women's issues, share craft ideas and exchange
bakery tips. A large part of our time is dedicated
to raising funds for charity. We
hope you enjoy
looking at our website and visit often.
May
May is our
birthday month we have been meeting for
eight years now and I think our group is
stronger than ever. For a birthday treat
we invited Jan Kerr a Decoupage
artist, to show us her skills in the
art. Jan's demonstrated how to make a
tile. She also had some beautiful table
mats, tray and jewelry to show us. Her
work was sensational. May has also been
the weather for coughs and colds and we
had a few members away. Hopefully
everyone will be back on their feet for
the June meeting. Bye for now.
February, March & April Chatter
Our first
meeting for the year was taken up discussing
what we could do for the bush fire
victims. Many of us knew many of the people
that lost their lives, homes and
possessions. It was a devastating act of
nature that nobody could ever dream would
happen. And has had a profound impact on the
local community. It has been wonderful to
see everybody rally around helping those in
need. I feel privileged that Hurstbridge CWA
has been one of them. Members have been
distributing quilts made by the Essendon
Quilters, baking cakes for the local school
and helping out at fundraisers. We managed
to get a sewing package to one of our
members that lost their house and
offered support where needed.
April was
probably our busiest month in terms of
normal business. It was the time for the
Diamond Valley Home Craft and Industries
Exhibition. It was pleasing to see many of
our members gained places for their items
and our own group table received 3rd prize
in craft. Unfortunately as beautiful as our
baking table looked, we did not receive
anything.
 
Next month is
our birthday celebration meeting and bring
along a friend night. We will be having a
demonstration of Decoupage by Jan Kerr
followed by a light supper.
January Chatter
The first
meeting of the Nit, Stitch and Natter
group took place on Tuesday the 21st
January. It was very pleasing to see so
many people turn up. We have decided to
give the group their own page . So take
a peek when you have a moment.
Don't forget
we have our group conference on
Thursday12th February and Hurstbridge
are hosting it this year. Donna will be
emailing members requesting volunteers
for various jobs, so look out for that.
Our first
meeting for the year is on Wednesday Feb
18th. Competition is "Our favourite
holiday pic"
 It
has saddened us to hear that our beloved
donkey Adam passed away in November.
Adam had many bouts of colic in recent
years. This time however despite
intensive treatment, he did not fully
improve. The vets decided he
needed surgery to clarify the cause of
colic only to find extensive cancer.
Adam passed away 18th Nov.
All at Hurstbridge CWA wish to thank the
Donkey Shelter for all the love and care
that they gave to Adam.
