WI Day Celebrations
On behalf of the National Federation of WIs Activities Committee: Here are details of the WI Birthday Celebrations taking place on the week commencing 13 September 2021. The Activities Team will be celebrating the WI's Birthday and we would like you all to join in the festivities!
The Team have organised a variety of different activities to celebrate the week including:
· Cocktail Recipes
· WI Birthday Cake Recipe
· Afternoon Tea Craft projects
· Paint along with The Quirky Bird
In addition to the above, we would like members to engage with us by sharing their recipes for Afternoon Tea treats, these will then be amalgamated and made in to a virtual album that will be made available to all members. This could be a tasty cake, summer drink, quirky twist on scones, unusual but delicious sandwich ideas or even adding extras like a Picnic Egg recipe or chilli jam sausage rolls…
Please send recipes and an image of the finished item, along with your name, WI and federation to e.harker@nfwi-unit.org.uk by August 27th 2021.
Wall of Women
As the theme of WI Day will be based around friendship, we would like to give members the opportunity to celebrate friendships made through the WI.
We are inviting members to submit an image of their choice and small piece of text (no more than 50 words) using the following prompts:
- What has lockdown taught you about the importance of friendship in the WI?
- Is there a particular person that you would like to acknowledge or thank?
- The joy of a hug - capturing that special moment when you could socialise with fellow members, friends and family again.
- Have you taken up a new hobby during lockdown?
- What does the WI mean to you?
- Is there a life lesson you want to share with fellow members?
- Has lockdown made you realise the importance of something particular?
These will all be captured and created into a virtual exhibition, which will be launched on social media and My WI on the 16th September to celebrate the day.
