22.01.2022 Something to amuse you

22.01.2022 Today the Berry Branch fellowship group held a picnic at Boat Harbour in Gerringong. It was beautiful weather and everyone enjoyed themselves.The Fellowship group initially met monthly for a social dinner but COVID put a stop to that and we had to re think how to restart social events while adhering to COVId requirements. The picnic was our second social event since restarting, our first was a morning tea at one of our members homes.

21.01.2022 We will again be providing Anzac Biscuits at the Berry Rotary Club Big Breakfast this Australia Day Tuesday 26 January.

Last year the funds raised (over $1000) were donated to BlazeAid after the catastrophic bushfires.

This year's focus is on domestic violence... and we have created a display of a red bench (from the Red Rose Foundation Australia's Red Bench Project) and we are honouring victims of DV in Australia. We have also displayed information about the history and achievements of the CWA. We are so much more than tea and scones. Huge thanks to branch member Harmony and everyone who worked hard to put the display together.
