TO <strong>MSWA</strong> MEMBERS<br />
The W.A Quilters Association representative Cathy Robertson,<br />
recently visited Wilson Outreach Centre again, bringing with her<br />
another two large bags of amazing quilts made by members of<br />
their Association.<br />
These quilts have been kindly donated to our Members; to<br />
brighten their lounge chairs and beds or just to keep their<br />
knees warm. Sheila, Narelle and Janice were on hand to pick<br />
their favourites from the pile and are thrilled to have them in<br />
their possession.<br />
The Quilters Association have been friends of <strong>MSWA</strong> for a<br />
few years now. They have generously donated quilts for<br />
each resident of our high support accommodation facilities<br />
including Fern River, Hamilton Hill and Treendale Gardens,<br />
and both respite homes.<br />
Cathy said the group thoroughly enjoy passing on their beautiful<br />
quilts to community groups like <strong>MSWA</strong> and has assured us she<br />
will be returning with more! These quilts are really beautiful<br />
and bring a welcome splash of colour with them.<br />
We would like to thank Cathy and her fellow quilters for<br />
their ongoing generosity.<br />
WILLETTON BUNNINGS SUPPORTING<br />
WILSON OUTREACH<br />
The wonderful staff from the Bunnings Willetton store have<br />
once again visited us at Wilson. They also joined in our<br />
Mexican Fiesta happily wearing their sombrero hats!<br />
This store has been very generous to us here at Wilson. They<br />
have supplied vegetables for our raised garden beds as well<br />
as staffers. Bec and her assistant came along to plant them!<br />
Member Sheila Hayfield particularly has a love of our garden<br />
beds here at Wilson, she can often be seen tending to them<br />
whilst here at Outreach. Sheila is pictured here with the<br />
Bunnings staff and some of our beautiful, healthy looking<br />
vegetables. So far the crop has yielded a dozen or so potatoes,<br />
beans and some lovely herbs.<br />
Currently there is a fierce<br />
competition among our<br />
Members, from several<br />
Outreach Groups and<br />
our residential facilities,<br />
which is due to finish at<br />
the end of August. We<br />
have all been vying for<br />
the title “Winner of the<br />
best vegetables grown<br />
over the winter season”.<br />
The results will be<br />
reported in the next <strong>Bulletin</strong> so watch this space!!!!<br />
OLA OLA!<br />
‘Mexico’ at Wilson Outreach was a huge success.<br />
Staff, volunteers and Members all made a fantastic effort with<br />
their costumes and really had a fun time singing and dancing!<br />
We were lucky enough to have a visit from ‘Nicko’ who played<br />
his piano accordion whilst walking around the atrium!<br />
We even had our very own ‘Pablo’, who was made by our<br />
Members in preparation for the ‘Fiesta’ party at the end of our<br />
trip to Mexico. He was used as a piñata and looked fabulous<br />
until of course he was broken to pieces!<br />
Our month in Mexico was very colourful and was<br />
thoroughly enjoyed by everyone!<br />
