This month has seen the group assist at the Warwick Rugby Union Club Ladies Day and at the Warwick RSL raffle as well as pack 25 kits as part of the Open 360 program. There is a large amount of kit requirements for the latter half of the year so it will be full steam ahead.
Sadly, one of the group’s founding organisers, Cathie Wilson, passed away at the end of May. Representatives of the group attended her funeral. The group sends its condolences to her family.
We would like to thank all of the businesses and individuals who support the Allora and district Days for Girls, including the ongoing support of the St Patricks Parish for the use of the hall.
Please consider coming along as there is a variety of jobs to be done by sewers and non-sewers alike. Even if you can’t attend our monthly gatherings, there is certainly sewing which can be completed at home. Please contact one of our executive team for further details if this is of interest to you.
The next gathering dates are 30 Jun, 28 Jul and 25 Aug 25.
