December 12th - Christmas Workshop

Hi everyone

It feels like ages since i wrote to you all.

South Africa was fantastic and I thank all you guys who came and helped me out with the practice class - it was awesome to iron out the wrinkles beforehand. Next year I'm thinking of doing a few classes randomly like that for you guys to participate in if you would like so feel free to suggest the types of things you would like, even if it is only a smaller group. Naturally they will cost as i will have to purchase the products but if you are interested just let me know as i can plan these and other dates for next year. We are currently working on getting dates for all the crops in advance. The thought of a retreat has gone through my head also would love your suggestions - if any of you know a great place that would be good to and also trying to gauge interest so let me know if you would be interested in attending one

INVITATION
THURSDAY 17TH SEPTEMBER
BARRABOOL HILLS COMMUNITY CHURCH
7.30 PM
A lady called Lyn Lusi is going to be speaking at our church this Thursday night (17th September). She is one of the founders of HEAL AFRICA an organization set up to help out women in Africa that have been abused by the continual violence against women. Rape is a weapon of war in Goma and because of this many womens lives have been destroyed, not only physically but mentally. Thanks to Heal Africa and the hospitals they are setting up they are ONE BY ONE rebuilding these womens life.. Only recently this month Hillary Clinton spent time with HEAL AFRICA talking to patients.

Im inviting any of you who would like to hear more about this to come along 7.30 pm up at Barrabool Hills to hear this lady. BRING YOUR TISSUES.
Would love to catch up with you there and have a coffee afterwards. Get a group together and come along. It won't be all pretty stories www.smh.com.au/interactive/2009/congo/index.html but we need to know what is going on in the world and help out if we can.
Let me know if you are interested in coming

WELL being bored this week.

No Im not talking about being bored bored but BORED as in dug.

Just letting you all know that i had an email today letting me know that the WELL we financed in India is being bored this week. Photos should follow early next month.
Thanks again to everyone who supported the last workshop.
Mel

WELL, WELL yes we brought a WELL

Girls i have something exciting to tell you.

You know how we were trying to raise enough to buy a rickshaw or two at the last workshop - well we raised more than that. So instead of being able to just help out one or two families I opted for a whole community..

Just waiting for paperwork to arrive but we purchased a WHOLE WELL for a community in India. We even got a little plaque on a wall nearby to tell them we care.

I asked them to write the following;

"MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF OTHERS"

Crop 4 A Cause Ladies

Geelong July 2009

I know to many of you it may not feel like you actually did or gave much, but together we can truly make a difference and you can not underestimate the value of your part in this.
Thank you so much to all of you who were part of this past workshop.


WHAT's NEXT;
Things as you know have been a bit busy with work and so i haven't organised another workshop as yet for between now and Christmas - though the Christmas one is fully locked in - 12th December up in the Church function room (numbers will be limited to 90) - will give you further details as I get them on this.
If you are interested in just having a couple of get together crops (no kits - just come and scrap - minimum cost) - money will be put towards the Christmas Workshop - leave a comment under this. I will keep checking and if we have enough responses i will arrange another one. If you have other suggestions - feel free to leave those comments too.

Hope to catch up with you all soon
Mel
