We were delighted to welcome two newcomers to the village to our meeting on 12th March. We hope that they enjoyed the meeting and will want to join us.
The speaker at that meeting was Vanessa Giltsoff who spoke to us about Canine Partners. Sadly she was unable to bring her dog Carla with her as she was unwell and must be kept away from infections.
Once a dog has been fully trained it lives with its disabled owner and enables him or her to stay at home and enjoy greater independence. They are trained to deal with an individual’s needs and can be trained to open doors or washing machines or hand the pegs or whatever is required. They also learn to recognise when their owner becomes unwell and are able to sound the alarm. They truly are remarkable. Vanessa has promised to bring Carla to see us when she is better.
At the April meeting David Wolf will give a talk entitled ‘The eyes have it’, and will tell us all we need to know about our eyes. Many of us have eye problems so we look forward to hearing him. If you would like to hear him and perhaps ask a question you will be very welcome. The meeting is on Wednesday 9th April in the Village Hall at 7.30 p.m.
We have all been so sorry to hear that one of our stalwart members, Irene Stowell, is unwell and hope that she will be back with us at meetings soon.
Plans are well under way for the Fashion Show on May 20th. As soon as the Spring and Summer clothes are in stock at Edinburgh Woollen Mill our models will be going along to choose their outfits. Tickets will be available in good time. Proceeds will be shared with Clevedon Care.
