Thankyou Chooky for 2023

 Well, another Scrub Stitchin’ is over and everyone is nearly home, I would like to say a huge Thankyou to Chooky for all her time and effort getting us together. She had to overcome a few hurdles but it all worked out.

Here is the group

And the wonderful keepsake bag

With everyone’s name on it.

Once again, Thankyou Chooky and everyone for a fantastic time.

Baradine CWA Drought Aid Pantry request for Helpl.

Hi ladies, hope you're all happily packing away for our fun adventure next weekend.

I am just putting my CWA Wauchope hat on - Some of you who are friends with me on facebook will have seen that over the last month I have been raising awareness via the CWA for the

 Baradine CWA Drought Aid Pantry. 

I am coming laden with donations... but thought that some of you may like to help us out....

You have two hands.

One to help yourself,

the second for helping others.

We the CWA Wauchope Branch, want to lend our local hands to help support

CWA Baradine branch Drought Aid Pantry so we can support their local

farmers through this horrendous drought!

Supplies are low again. Donations quickly run out when we have hundreds of people being fed from them each week.
