CROQUET CLUB HELP FOR CANCER.

Kathy Vincent

I think every person reading this magazine has at some time had a family member or friend or even experienced Cancer themselves, so we all know what a horrendous thing it is. I remember hearing my parents talk about the big “C “when I was a small child and yet it is still here tormenting so many lives today. I write about the Croquet Club and report on wins and losses, (Though I don’t say much about those!) Explain what a great game it is and stress the health and wellbeing properties.

Exercise, thought processes, and interaction with friends are all beneficial to one’s mental health. But the Croquet Club is so much more. You may have read in the past about our fundraising for worthy local charities. You have heard about the National Big Morning Tea to raise awareness and funds for Cancer Research, for four Fridays in May after an afternoon of exciting croquet some of our ladies organized afternoon tea. Wow, what a spread they laid out. There were raffle prizes and a money board and over four weeks the club raised a massive $1,000 for the Cancer Council!!

It was a fantastic effort, a lot of hard work (and cooking ) and a great incentive. Well done to everyone who supported or contributed to this event and a special thank you to Dolly and Lynn who organized the event and Sandy and Janis as their helpers
