Happy 2020

Hi everyone

My very best wishes for a happy, healthy 2020.

I don’t know about you but, to me, it seems ages since the festivities. Maybe it’s playing catch up with all the “ordinary” stuff that makes it feel such a long time ago? I think January can be a weird month – resolutions made and broken, still eating Christmas leftovers, it’s dark and cold. And only February to follow!!

However, reasons to be cheerful…

There is so much to look forward to. And, from what I hear about our first meeting of the year (on the 9 January), we got the year off to a good start. Our speaker was Rosemary Hayward, a retired dentist who now volunteers to provide dentistry services in Tanzania through the Charity “Bridge2aid”.

Check their website – such amazing work       https://bridge2aid.org/

There were also some really good discussions about the 2020 WI Resolutions, with each person voting on the one that got their support. Such resolutions and the associated campaign work is at the core of the WI and it’s something we feel proud to be part of.

Looking ahead, I’m keen to hear from our February speaker about the work the Samaritans do. It’s a charity close to my heart, providing  much needed support to people in distress. In their own words, “Samaritans works to make sure there’s always someone there for anyone who needs someone”. What a value to have!

Our second anniversary is also just round the corner in March! More about this later.. 🙂
