Hi Everyone,
As you know the last two months have not been easy ones but
have been made much better by the support and offers of help I
have received from members. I had so many offers to do
vacuuming and cleaning I could have got the whole house spring
cleaned and I am grateful for every offer.
This meeting we elect a new committee and I would like to thank
the outgoing committee who have all worked hard on your behalf.
Your club would not run without the behind the scenes efforts of
the committee. I am sure you will give the new committee all the
support and encouragement that you have given to me.
You are a terrific group of ladies and it has been a privilege to be
your President for the last two years.
Today we also have our Christmas lunch and although it is a little
bit early, I wish you all a very merry Christmas and safe and
happy New Year and look forward to next year when I may get the
chance to stitch and chat a bit more.
Happy stitching,
Janet
