A most enjoyable morning was experienced by some residents of Regis, Aged Care, Ayr last week.
Mrs Raelene Grantz, Membership Chair, Zonta Club Burdekin Inc, and Ms Kristy McCoskey, Regis Lifestyle Coordinator spent some time “stuffing” and “stitching” breast care cushions in preparation for delivery to the Mater and University hospitals in Townsville and to patients on request.
Annually, the Zonta Club Burdekin Inc members and the Friends of Zonta sew and donate more than 120 breast care cushions and approximately 80 breast care packs consisting of cushion, drainage and shower bags to cancer patients, both male and female.
The morning’s activities at Regis were not all “work and no play”.
The participants enjoyed a “cuppa”, some laughs and lots of friendly chatter. More importantly, the morning gave the participants a sense of belonging and making a valuable contribution to a local community project. Community connections and a sense of belonging are critical for our health and wellbeing.
Thank you to the Regis ladies for your wonderful assistance, the quality of your work and hospitality. Zonta looks forward to engaging your assistance going forward.
