Harlington WI held its AGM. Thank you to Carol Sullivan, WI Advisor, for giving your time and expertise to our relatively small group of 22. As in many WIs, many members play an active role, taking on programme planning, raffles, competitions, tea rotas, social secretary, photographer, guest minding and birthday card making. We initiated joint roles for President and Treasurer in April and have continued with this model. As well as our AGM, we fitted in our raffle, competition, delicious tea and cakes and a Beetle Drive.
We commemorated Armistice Day with our poppy-adorned post box! We were joined by the Worshipful Deputy Mayor of Hillingdon, Reverend Mike Talbot and MFWI Chair and Lorraine Reed-Wenman. The speech by the Deputy Mayor, reminded us all of the value of each person’s contribution to each other and we concluded our ceremony with Jerusalem, then adjourned to our local hostelry for very nice refreshments.
Special credit to master cake maker Jan, who gave our guests a beautiful Victoria Sponge cake, and huge thanks to our Secretary Sarah, brainchild of the event and whose energy and vision enabled a special day.
