Valerie Jones our Secretary gave her talk on ‘How we bared all’ at our April meeting (14/4/25). This was a lovely look back for all the Treacles who were involved in the making of our ‘2019 Calendar’ in 2018, from the models to everyone who helped to sell them & the raffle tickets. We raised a huge amount of £11k at the time for the Breast Screening unit at Macclesfield Hospital & Valerie is still actively raising more money, £2k up to now, by doing her talks to WI’s all over Cheshire. As we have a lot of new members who weren’t with us back then it was great to show them what we had achieved. A pink hydrangea was featured on all the photos in the calendar , so ……..
All our members were asked to wear an item of pink clothing which of course they did, pink non-alcoholic Prosecco was served as they arrived & Clare had embellished all the raffle prizes with pink ribbon.
Our refreshment ladies were Lynne Eardley & Jean Donald who had stood in for Oli Booth who couldn’t make it to our meeting but had sent cakes, so thank you all ladies for your help.
I also passed on some Trauma Teddies (knitted by our members) to Cynthia Marke who will pass them on to her son who works at Macclesfield Fire Station.
