Our IN meeting after the Easter break was our annual book and DVD sale, the proceeds of which go to our chosen charity, this year once again the 2 Frauenhäuser in Cologne. Since their representative, Frau Schrimpf, was unable to attend, Barbara gave us a quick survey of their work. The 2nd house is primarily for older women, and women with mental disabilities. A 3rd house is planned, but no definite time has been set up.. We were offered the option of choosing from 2 different projects on which our donation would be spent but as the members present found both projects equally good , we decided to leave the choice to the Frauenhäuser.
In the end, we were able to present the Häuser with a check of € 500, which included money collected at the Christmas lunch and various other contributions.
The selection of books/DVDs was very interesting, our members clearly have wide-ranging taste! As always we all enjoyed the tea/coffee and home-made cake and the opportunity to chat and catch up with everyone’s news in our familiar, relaxed environment
15 ladies attended. It was a nice, easy-going afternoon with plenty of time to chat and catch up.
