Gift Giving, Seeking Stamps and Christmas Cheer
The QCWA team proudly display the gifts, groceries and food destine for drought affected families for Christmas
The QWCA Tin Can Bay Branch was busy sorting and wrapping numerous gifts for distribution to families affected by the drought. President Dawn McGinley is thrilled at the generosity of the public and Branch members.
“The joy of giving is alive in this room today,” Dawn said as the branch ladies, and mighty Mark, worked like Santa’s elves in a well-oiled production line. The QCWA creed may state “I will be giving, and forget the gift,” however these gifts will be hard to forget knowing the elation people will feel on opening a present on Christmas Day.
In the age of Messenger, email and Instagram it is hard to imagine that snail mail still exists. For anyone who is lucky enough to receive a heartwarming handwritten card or letter this Christmas via snail mail, if the envelope has a stamp on it don’t throw it in the recycling bin.
Stamps are collected, sent to Head Office and are used to raise funds towards Associated Country Women of the World (ACWW) General Projects. Please call Lorraine Bishop on 5486 2226 if you have stamps to donate, please leave at least 1cm of envelope around the stamp.
The ladies at the Branch would like to extend warm wishes for a merry Christmas and happy new year. To help spread the Christmas cheer here’s a ‘cracker’ joke-
Q-Why are Christmas trees so bad at knitting?
A-They are always dropping their needles!
