Joint craft morning

The Umina Country Women's Association (CWA) has had an eventful month so far which was highlighted by a joint craft and friendship morning with the Woy Woy CWA on Wednesday, July 11.

The event was attended by 20 women who participated in knitting, crocheting, embroidery and card making, with a morning tea provided by Ms Gwen Brinckley.

Umina CWA has also begun a monthly craft and friendship meeting for working women on the first Sunday of every month at 12.30pm.

Members have assembled a number of hospital emergency packs to be donated to Gosford Hospital.

The group has decided to support CWA NSW's projects in the South Pacific for mothers and children.

A cake stall and jumble sale will be held on Saturday, September 15, at the branch rooms to raise funds for the project.

A number of members will attend the Northumberland Group's CWA cookery judging day at Hornsby on Friday, July 27.

They will also attend an event at Mannering Park on Wednesday, August 15, learning how to finish handicrafts to a high standard.
