Rotary club thankful for donation of quilt

The Rotary Club of Woy Woy has thanked the wife of one of its members for supporting the club, and for her donation of a patchwork quilt to help raise money for children in need.

Ms Jenny Brock, wife of 22-year Rotary member Mr Charles Brock, made the quilt and donated it for a raffle.

When asked how long it took to complete the project Ms Brock said: "I have no idea as time just slips by when you enjoy what you are doing.

"At a guess it could amount to over 200 hours," she said.

Rotary member Ms Joan Redmond said: "Thanks to her generous efforts cheques for $1000 each were presented to Riding for the Disabled, Yarran Early Intervention and the Children's Room at Gosford Hospital at a recent Woy Woy Rotary meeting."

"Families play a big role in supporting Rotarians in their work, none more so than Ms Jenny Brock," she said.

It is understood Riding for the Disabled intends to purchase new colour-coded reins.

Yarran Early intervention plans to provide extra support to families whose children have disabilities, and the Children's Room expects to benefit from new equipment as a result of the raffle donations.
