This morning our intrepid group of wives who for the past twelve months have been knitting for charity, visited the Hope Church to give to them the benefit of their work. Isn't it a great day when we can help the communitee by uniting with them and providing help to all of those who are less fortunate. Our Lodge is now going to decide how much we will give to our group of wives so they can continue with this essential communittee work as they knit and natter. So, thank you Jean, Elaine, Sue, Helen, Jennie, Noeleen, Lizzie, and the many others who have helped during the last twelve months buy knitting and giving us bags of wool, unsolicited.

Well, here we are again, with a table full of jumpers, cardigans, hats, mittens, slippers all set to be given to the Hope Church. Some of the ladies were at it again on Tuesday so I managed to get a couple of photos to post before they start again in the new Masonic Year. As a Lodge, we are very proud of our wives and widows who regularly get together for their knit and natter sessions to produce these articles of clothing for charities, large and small. So, thank you Jean, Noeleen, Jenny, Helen, Elaine, Sue and the many others who support and encourage the work that they are doing. The good news is, they may be doing this again next year when the Lodge approves the funding.

What a great AP&I Show we had this year. We arrived there with a smaller display this year but we had two items which were well supported by the community. If you recall from my last post we had the blue quilt that we started to raffle at the Christmas Fair which we carried over to our Christmas Lodge meeting and then we drew the raffle at the AP&I Show. Well done to all of you who purchased a ticket which was won by a young lass whose name is Dawn. Down comes from Masterton but was staying at Waitarere Beach for the holidays. Thank you to Mrs. Sue McEwan for her kind donation of the Quilt and to you all who are kind supporters. Our Lodge raised $510.00 for our Charity account which will come in real handy. On the right of the second picture is a new Queen size Quilt that we are raffling which we will have at the Medieval Market and carry through to our Installation this year.
