The Ladies Group rounded off another successful year of meetings and activities by welcoming all to a light lunch at GG’s Restaurant. Friends came together to have a lovely time sharing a very large pizza and celebrating a recent birthday.
During the light lunch a special thanks was given to Eden who has been the Ladies Group Co-ordinator for 2023.
As Chair of Equals IW, Mark paid tribute to Eden’s voluntary contribution as the Ladies Group Co-ordinator and her participation in the wider Equals IW Friends and Family Group.
Mark shared
"Throughout the year Eden provided excellent support to the Green Time Project by helping to organise and cheerfully motivate people on many occasions. She also organised group activities for the women including two types of bag making, teapot cover making and crocheting.
So a big “thank you” Eden. A really much appreciated “thank you” is also given to all that have taken part in a wonderful range of activities this year with Equals IW and helped make the year a success. It was enjoyable and on many occasion a great time was spent in laughter. Words often heard throughout the year were lovely, wonderful, amazing, such welcoming friendly people.”
