Yesterday , the Rotary Club of Wallsend - Maryland had the Christmas breakfast which celebrates another year of community service. In 2022, the club has been active in service projects locally including catering, flood relief, feeding the homeless, graffiti removal, support of neighbourhood centres and the establishment of a neighbourhood hub in a nearby suburb
Christmas Countdown #13 : Wednesday Makers Group at Timeless Textiles
Tuesday's festive meeting was a good opportunity to reflect on the year's projects and have a bit of fun.- games, gift sharing and photo shoots!
.................................................................................................................................................
Today, the Wednesday group presented the Newcastle Domestic Violence Court Advocacy Service a Christmas donation of $1,000 - early proceeds from the "Faces and Places" project.
The Wednesday Makers group is a community art group with a conscience - the group members create with the goal of raising awareness and funds to a community cause.
The current project is raising much needed funds to support those affected locally by domestic violence by stitching portraits for a donation to the service. The money raised goes to provide emergency needs such as food.essentials vouchers, emergency accommodation, change of locks and the purchase and installation of security cameras when needed to ensure ongoing safety of the victim. While it was also our Christmas meeting, the focus was giving to others. While Christmas can be the happiest of times for many, it can be an extremely stressful and difficult time for some.
Both the Rotary Club of Wallsend- Maryland #13 and the Wednesday Makers Group #14 make the question Naughty or Nice redundant because each of these group choose to follow the principles of social justice. Thank you for acting in the true spirit of Christmas.
