Thursday 26th is the date for this month for needlecraft. Please let me know if you are coming either at 10.00 or 7.30. I have a few ideas for projects we could work on or you might like to bring along something of your own to work with.

If you have any ideas for midweek activities please talk to Bec or Marj. If there is anything you would be interested in doing or learning or teaching we would like to know about it. As it is getting towards the busy end of the year we may like to start thinking about things to do next year, especially in the summer months when the weather is warmer.

Newslettter

Anyone who has any articles for the newsletter please send them in to hobartward@gmail.com over the next two weeks. Any interesting items would be appreciated.

Goodbye and goodluck

Sarah and Joe Parsons and family will be leaving us soon to move to Launceston. Joe has earned a promotion at work so congratulations go to them. We will be very sad to see them leave us as we had gotten used to having them here and enjoying their talents and their friendship. I'm sure we will see them from time to time. We would like to wish them well for the future, we will miss you all.

Congratultions Kerry and Welcome

Mathew and Kerry Pawson recently married so we would like to congratulate them and welcome Kerry to our ward. I believe Kerry will not be moving permanently to our area until the end of the year due to commitments up north but it is nice to have you join us whenever you can. Welcome Kerry and family.
