Supporting Sam and his quest for precision medicine for all is a pleasure. Our crafty members have contributed gloves and the branch money over the last few years. Have you got yours?

The handicraft officers have had their work cut out for them!

That’s the name of the position in charge of collective crafting policies in a CWA chapter, the handicraft officer. It’s a very important and prestigious office to hold of course and it is not easy work. Because sometimes a retired unicyclist has the bright idea to make gloves out of all the wool scraps you have lying around and suddenly it’s the handicraft officers job to make sure these gloves are of a quality befitting representing the CWA

And boy are they, these gloves are warm, fuzzy, handcrafted and imbued with love by CWA members all over the country. These smiles don’t lie!

You should get a pair, and then visit your local CWA chapter to show them off!

PS: you can get your own pair in the village market! Link is in the comments

Several members and friends attended the Grandparents as Parents (GAPs) fundraiser afternoon tea yesterday. It was a wonderful afternoon of friendship and learning from guest speaker police officer Alison Stewart, Port Stephen’s Local Woman of the Year. We also enjoyed a scrumptious array of cakes and sandwiches.
