St Margaret’s
The Ladies of St Margaret’s Friendship Group meet every Tuesday morning, except the third
Tuesday of each month, in the Meeting Room from 10 am to 12 am. Our theme is based on
Friendship, Fellowship, Caring and Love for each other.
Currently we have 16 members but would warmly welcome new faces. Our morning is spent
enjoying a delicious morning tea provided by rostered members, devotions, knitting squares
and lots of chatting on various topics of the day which can be very amusing or quite serious.
The squares are made into knee rugs which are given to Nursing Homes in the ACT. We also
celebrate member’s birthdays with a special cake and candles.
At each meeting we place on the table our Pussy money box into which we put our loose
coins. When the box is full we donate the money to Frontier Services, Royal Flying Doctor
Service, Aussie Farmers or the Christmas Bowl. Each charity gets one or two donations per
year.
Melbourne Cup Day is a special morning when we dress for the occasion, invite husbands,
enjoy horsey stories and Aussie poetry all combined with a very fitting morning tea to compliment the occasion .
