Meet Our 2024 Committee

At our Annual General Meeting in February numerous wonderful women put their hands up to take on this year's Committee roles, providing a good mix of new and returning Committee members. The meeting was chaired by Zone Councillor Lorraine (far left) who then presented the Committee badges.

Thank you to all outgoing Committee members for their dedication and hard work during 2023, and a warm welcome to our incoming Committee members whose enthusiasm promises to make 2024 another successful year for our Club.

December 2024 Bunnings Christmas Market

On a Thursday evening in December, another Bunnings Christmas Market stall. Tables laden with handmade gifts including crafts, cakes, biscuits and preserves. No sausages for this event but there were homemade sausage rolls. A total hit with evening shoppers.

November 2024 Pamper Packs

For the first half of each year our members purchase toiletries, and meanwhile our sewers make colourful fabric bags. The project comes together in about September when the bags are packed with a selection of essentials and delivered to Meli for distribution to women (and a few men) in need.

The recipients have often had to leave an unsafe environment in a hurry, when toiletries can be frequently left behind. A longstanding initiative by our Club that continues to tug at our heartstrings.

October 2024 Annual Plant Sale

Our green fingered ladies love putting together an amazing array of plants each October for our Annual Plant Sale. And those without green fingers are always delighted to reap the benefits and purchase some bargains for their gardens.

This event was held in the outside courtyard, and we are grateful to staff at Eastern Hub for helping us to set up and advertising the event to patrons.

August 2024 Recycling Fundraiser

When a Member suggested collecting bottles etc to put through one of the new recycling stations in Geelong we all thought it sounded like a decent fundraising idea, but at 10 cents for each item no-one expected the amazing result produced so far - $1,500 and counting! And $1,500 = 15,000 items.

Stunning work ladies.
