It was very interesting, even enlightening, to see the patchworks and hear their relevance as explained by their creator, Alcia Dowd.

Leonie White, a deacon at St John's Church, and a dedicated Pastoral Care worker and organiser at both the Wagga Base & Calvary Hospitals, gave us food for thought as she told of her experiences. Nobody was left in any doubt about the wonderful and essential work that our caring nurses and pastoral care workers provide. Leonie was impressed to receive one of her friends, Murray (Muz) Aitken's beautiful pens following her address.
