November Meeting

The Wombelles

(Kendal & South Lakes Gynaecology Cancer Group)

Newsletter November & December 2013

Our November meeting was later than usual on the 26^th November and the ladies from Lancaster Group joined us for the afternoon. They have been making jewellery to raise funds and gave our group a jewellery making lesson, which was extremely interesting.

Our members made pairs of earrings, some good, mine not too good!

Following this demonstration we decided that we would invest a small amount and purchase beads and wires to enable us to follow their example and raise additional funds.

In December I purchased two bead kits and additional beads from Sanctuary Bead Company

 to get us started.

I must admit I am totally taken by this new hobby and find it extremely relaxing and addictive at the same time. Just sorting the beads into different boxes is enjoyable! (How sad am I!)

We have now got to find a way of selling these items to make a profit.

Good luck with the selling girls!

 Since September we have been completing the application form to apply for further funding from McMillan, thereby enabling our group to continue into 2014.

The good news arrived on the 24^th December 2013 that we have been granted funding as requested. We are now in a position to purchase a laptop and printer thereby enabling us to educate other members who are not computer literate.

We had our Annual Christmas Dinner at the Strickland Arms on the 3^rd December 2013 which was very enjoyable.

We are all looking forward to a Happy & Healthy 2014

We would like to remind you that we meet on the third Tuesday of each month at 1.30pm in the offices of; Cancercare, Lakes Centre, Kendal, (unless we have organized an event).

We now also have a blog address, which has been set up by one of our members:
