INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY LUNCHEON

The International Women's Day Luncheon held on Friday March 12th was a resounding success.



A scrumptious lunch was provided by our wonderful Moggill ladies - Julia Mutusik ( who oversaw the operation and provided the main course ) and Margaret Baildon, Mary Traise, Sylvia Stobbs and Anne Abbot (who provided desserts).As well as the luncheon home cooked treats were enjoyed with coffee and tea.



It was a huge job with lots of work behind the scenes. Thank you to these fantastic ladies.



The kitchen was a hub of activity on the day and the South Coast Catering group was most helpful and hardworking. Many thanks Mary & Bill Dalgleish and Janice Bryant.


Seventy- eight attendees learnt about the mercey ship "Africa Mercy" from the guest speaker Dr Hannah Krause. Her talk and slide show informed us how the mercy ship first came into being and how it continues to operate, depending entirely on volunteer medical staff.



Dr Krause spoke of various treatments to women (and men) who would not necessarily get the medical help they need  without this facility.



A final thank you to Anne Abbot who entertained the group as MC on the day.

All in all a very enjoyable and successful day.
