Shoalhaven Empowered Women : October 2017

SEW Lunch ⭐

The 2^nd Shoalhaven Empowered Women's (SEW) Charity Lunch was held at the beautiful Butterfactory Restaurant on Wednesday 18th October.

The day began at 11.30am with the opportunity to network with other empowered ladies and enjoy a glass of wine or soft drink.

SEW Ladies were invited to purchase a raffle ticket, make a gold coin donation for the lucky door prize and make a bid for 6 silent auction items.

Guests were then seated to enjoy a delicious entree, followed by a main course, expertly cooked by Andrew and his Butterfactory team - Yum.

Andrew and his wife Maria have owned the butterfactory for over 10 years and provide top class food and service.

We had lots of generous people who donated a wide range of items, from a beautifully hand-made quilted throw to lunch at the butterfactory.

Thank-you so sincerely to all those people who provided an item for our day - Judy S, Elizabeth G (Specsavers), Ellen T (Svelte Finance), Lynnette K (Nowra Framers), Bev B, Jeni H, Jill W, Louise F and the Butterfactory.

OR made a generous cash donation, thankyou Marianne R.

Thanks to you and our generous ladies we raised a whopping $811.00 !!

The money will be donated to the Shoalhaven Women’s Health Centre.

After lunch we enjoyed listening to a very empowered, inspiring lady Tracy Lumb, (Manager of Shoalhaven Women’s Health Centre) who spoke about “Women Squared”.

Tracy spoke about the Centre and what it means to be a woman in today’s tough world, when things can and do go wrong.

WELL WOMEN = WELL SOCIETY and it is up to all of us to make a difference, big or small to another woman in need.

Tracy was also very thankful for the donations of sanitary items (Share the Dignity) and personal items and handbags (It’s in the bag).

The lunch concluded around 2.30pm.
