What a big week...Days for Girls - Mackay !!
We had a great roll-up today for our weekly
sewing day that also turned into a packing day, with 100 kits packed. We had a
new volunteer, Kate, join us. It was great to see Mel this week, and to have Janet
back last week.
Pam visited Joanne in hospital with beautiful orchids...she loved them and is looking forward to
joining us when she is back on her feet.
Pam, Geoff
and I visited Mackay North Rotary Club on Thursday night...I spoke on what
our team has achieved in the past months. It was very heartening to have such
positive feedback.
Bente
McDonald from Walkerston Rotary Club, has been a wonderful help in setting up the Days for Girls Blogsite for us.
Also thank you to Carol Hughes for her donation of beautiful fabrics. Chris
Cross, has also been busy with lots of sewing.
I am not going to name all of
the wonderful volunteers in fear that I miss someone...Thank you, to all who
have been busy doing their homework and your generous gifts of materials,
ribbon, a stud machine, and gift for our weekly Raffle, and of course - your
