SHIRES COFFEE MORNING/KNITTING GROUP

The Shires will be hosting a coffee morning on the second Wednesday of every month 10.30 till 12.00 starting Wednesday 14^th October. The coffee mornings are open to any staff who are not on shift and villagers who would like to attend and will be held in the annexe when there are no students on site. Anyone who wants to can also bring along some knitting of their own or can knit Izzy dolls, which are sent to orphans in war torn and poverty stricken parts of the world. Any wool donations will be gratefully received. You can read about the origin of Izzy dolls, on www.isfeldbc.com and about Izzy dolls for Africa on www.icross.ca/project.htm

 Everyone is welcome (and you don’t have to be able to knit!)
