PRESIDENT 2023- 2024
|
|
This
is the second time I will have been President of the Helston-Lizard
Inner Wheel and I hope I will be able to give the position the
time it deserves.
My husband and I travel widely and are often out of the country
for 15/16 weeks of the year, preferring independent and adventurous
travel, often to Africa. I am sure the Club will be very supportive
in my frequent absences!
When home, I enjoy oil painting, regular Pilates sessions and
I can often be found walking my two labradors on the coast. I
am also kept very busy with my family which includes 12 grandchildren!
For many years I have been a member of the Board of Trustees,
and now Vice -Chair, of BF Adventure - a charity which supports
young people who are disaffected, disadvantaged and disabled across
Cornwall and beyond.

Report 2018 - 2019 |
|
At our December meeting members brought and wrapped presents for
onward transmission to the women's refuge in Penzance which were
greatly appreciated. We also made a donation to the Salvation
Army in lieu of exchanging Christmas cards.
Inner Wheel Day was celebrated with a walk and lunch, provided
by Wendy Wallis, with donations in aid of Parkinson's. As in previous
years the weather was kind to us!
Drinks and nibbles at the home of Debbie Osborne raised some much
needed funds for Bishop's Forum, and was enjoyed by all.
In March Members, friends and family had their minds exercised
at a Murder Mystery evening at Rosewarne Manor, taking on the
role of sleuths and raising money for our President's chosen charity
Sea Sanctuary.
This was shortly followed by a visit to the "escape room"
at Newlyn, a truly unforgettable experience.
The annual Bluebell Walk and lunch at the home of Joy Porch was
once again enjoyed by all.
A coffee morning to support a pre-school in Mozambique was extremely
successful, and our busy year was topped off with a most entertaining
Car Treasure Hunt, followed by a cream tea at Anne Russell's.
We have been lucky to enjoy a variety of speakers at our monthly
meetings including; a talk by a Street Pastor, and some very interesting
slide shows.
