February is our Annual General Meeting (AGM) with President Vicki and Secretary Kate at the top table giving their reports for the year. Gillian did her Treasurer report. After 4.5 years of keeping us all in order with her incredible organisation skills, Kate is stepping down from her position as secretary.
After the AGM part of the meeting, everyone got crafty with green felt hearts, swatches of fabric and fabric pens to decorate the 87 fabric bags made by members for the WI's annual #showthelove campaign where we draw attention to climate change issues. And this year, we thought it a great idea to #showthelove by making something that's less likely to end up in landfill, and by donating our green-heart decorated fabric bags to the local food bank, some of which we stuffed full of goodies. Many people turn up at the food bank in a desperate state, with no thought as to how they're going to transport their items home, so our donation is going to make lots of people's lives just that bit easier when they've got a lovely bag to transport their food home in.
