New Year Meeting: 11th January 2024Broughton WI meeting on 11th January ‘24 was our ‘Resolutions meeting’ where we discuss and then vote for our individual preferences on the shortlist. Voting was quite close this year. We then had a lot of fun with our ‘Raffle of Christmas Excess’ organised by Anne Clews. President Patricia Kennedy welcomed 2 new members and a visitor for the evening. Lovely to catch-up with everyone at the beginning of a New Year.
100 Lap blankets for Chemotherapy patients at County Hospital, Stafford.“Today I had the privilege of making our final delivery of blankets in their beautiful bags on behalf of Broughton WI to the chemotherapy unit at Stafford County Hospital.
Our original target was 50 but we have smashed that so our 24 today makes a grand total of 100. My heartfelt thanks goes to all you lovely ladies who have made this possible our WI members and family and friends. A special thanks goes to Yvonne French who made the majority of the blanket bags & has supported me from the beginning to which I am truly grateful. I also want to say thank you to two very special ladies - Joyce (Gill Latos's mum) and Gill (Jayne Frawley’s sister) who have gone above and beyond and knitted a huge number of beautiful blankets. One of our new members Ann Crump has also made some lovely bags - thank you so much. Thank you all once again for your support and to everyone who has donated wool or material or helped in any way my sincere and heartfelt thanks. I hope that our blankets will provide comfort for anyone having treatment over the festive period and beyond. Wishing you all a very happy and healthy Christmas and best wishes for a wonderful New Year”. With lots of love from Anne x x Photos: Getting ready for our final delivery.
