The CWA ladies have hosted an international day with local school children. Our country of study was France, an excellent choice given everyone’s interest in this year’s Olympic venue.
Our hall was beautifully decorated with ornaments and photos borrowed from a member with a passion for all things French. Lunch began with homemade French onion soup. After delving into our cookbooks, we also served macaroons, croissants, quiche, baked French onion potatoes and pinwheels. Dessert followed with glazed fruit tarts and chocolate mousse. Our guest speaker provided an excellent commentary.
Then the children arrived in their berets, striped tops and believable moustaches to perform a very humorous show and dance. Their efforts were greatly appreciated and rewarded with medals, sweets and an origami jumping frog.
On another note, September’s CWA Awareness Week is focusing on domestic and family violence. CWA is ideally placed to take a leading role due to our ongoing advocacy in this area. Keep an eye out for us at a cake stall at Stanwell Park Public School for the election on 14 September. Proceeds will go to a local domestic violence service.
Join meetings at 10am on the first Tuesday of the month at the CWA hall, 15 The Drive. Email stanwellparkcwa@gmail.com
