“Ubi caritas et amor,
ibi Deus
est.” |

(Where there is caring and love, God is there) |
The ACW is that all-inclusive name encompassing those who are able to
meet in fellowship at our monthly meeting, reinforced, encouraged and
supported by those women unable to attend the meetings, but supporting
all of us in many ways.
Our ACW raises money in various ways – bake sales, funeral receptions, etc. and these funds are disbursed once a year to local projects such as
Arrowhead, Sunshine Coast Food Bank, Mission to Seafarers, Salvation
Army, Yew Transition House. and further afield the Stephen Lewis
Foundation supporting Grandmothers raising many orphaned grandchildren
in Africa.
If
you have not shared some time at an ACW meeting, we urge all ladies to
accept a sincere, heartfelt invitation to join us – even one time – at
our monthly meetings (first Wednesday of the month,
10:00am,
in the Gathering Room).
Bobbi Kelly is the current ACW president
