Hilltop Women’s Group
Our meeting in April was our short AGM. All committee members were willing to stand again, plus another volunteer. Thank you to them. Special thanks to Carol our treasurer and Jos our secretary. This was followed by an informative talk by a representative from Suffolk Mind which has been our charity for the past year. After lockdown, telephone contacts by trained personnel, were made available for people in situations where they weren’t able to cope and needed someone to talk to. The number of calls was quite sobering, just in our area, so we were pleased to help fund this vital project. The collecting tin was handed over after one last rattle. A cheque was also given to them. We will appreciate being told how much the two items made for the charity at some point in the future. Our charity for next year, is The Suffolk Punch Trust. We aim to cover local beneficiaries and this is certainly one of those. There are fewer Suffolk Punches than Giant pandas! The 13thMay meeting is our mystery outing. We have some names on a participant list already, so if you haven’t added yours yet, please contact Jos or myself. We leave the village hall at 1.30 and will be driven by kind volunteers. We aim to be back by 5pm at the latest. Cake may be involved! And a short walk. Further details from: Margaret Knights rosecottageflowers@hotmail.co.uk, Jos Bryant or Sue Merriam. If you would like to come along to a meeting, our 10thJune event is a shared meal in the hall following a walk round Mel Rowe’s Garden, so a good opportunity to get to know our friendly group. Hope to see you there. Details in the next newsletter.
