Merry Christmas HBWS crew!

As we wrap up an epic year, I’m stoked to reflect on our awesomeness! We’ve grown, had successful sausage sizzles, collaborated with the Fraser Coast Regional Council, and created a supportive environment for women. Big thanks for your enthusiasm and hard work!

We’ve had a blast with plant and cooking workshops, learned about tools and wood types, built some sheds, created Christmas props, and done loads of art and craft. And let’s not forget the meet and greets – we’ve loved catching up with you all!

A huge thank you to our new members who’ve joined us this year. We couldn’t have done it without your support. And to our amazing volunteers, thanks for your time and energy – we appreciate you!

Our recent funding success has been a game-changer. We’ve purchased sheds for equipment storage, invested in personal protective equipment (PPE) for our members, and are now excited to start buying tools and equipment to support our projects and activities!

Looking ahead to the new year, we’re excited to bring you more events, workshops, and projects. Early in the new year, we’ll be gathering for a budget and event planning meeting. Our social media team will have a sneak peek of what’s to come, so keep an eye on our Facebook page and members’ forum for updates.

Finally, we need your help! We’re still looking for volunteers to help host or supervise upcoming events. No special skills required – just your wonderful selves!

Season’s greetings from the Hervey Bay Women’s Shed committee! We wish you and your loved ones a joyous holiday season and a happy new year. May this special time of year bring you peace, happiness, and time with those closest to you.

Thanks for being part of our vibrant community.

Cheers,

Joadi Bartlett
