Wonderful Women of Wamboin
WWOW news
August news
August got off to good start as a number of WWOWs head off to the Canberra quilt and craft fare at EPIC (5-7 August). There were reports of lots of purchases and awed descriptions of some of the quilts.
On Sunday 8 August, the WWOWs and their partners enjoyed a shared bring-a-plate luncheon at Jane and Lawri Nock's place in Sutton. Tours of farm and construction equipment fascinated many, as did the top of a lighthouse. The ‘collection' almost overwhelmed the beauty of 2 collector's Bentley's and 2 collector's Rolls Royce. It was a great feast as well.
Several WWOWS returned from Europe, Africa and the USA. There were many stories to share as well as photographs of new grandchildren.
Three members shared their stories of how and why they came to Wamboin/Bywong region. One story traced a life begun on the land, one was an insightful story of an immigrant, and a third a story of overseas adventures before marriage and family. We are gathering a wonderful portrait of interesting lives and the diversity of our community.
We also met our local Tupperware sales representatives, Emily Montesin (0403 765 803) who gave a great presentation and patiently listened to our stories of long-owned Tupperware. We bought more Tupperware to add to our collections. We can recommend Emily if any of you need or just want more organised cupboards, freezers and pantries.
