The ladies from Marian Bowls Club have shown that community spirit is alive and well, recently donating ten beautifully handmade knee rugs to the residents of Nanyima Aged Care Home in Mirani.
Over the past few months, members have been busy crocheting and knitting squares from home, later joining them together to create colourful, cosy rugs designed to keep elderly residents warm while in wheelchairs.
On Wednesday, June 25, Marian Bowls Club President Thelma Johnston, Treasurer Judith Miller and Secretary Lyn Jackson proudly delivered the completed rugs to Tanya Tooma from Nanyima.
Among the happy recipients was Mary Norgate, a former Marian bowler and now a resident at Nanyima, who received one of the donated rugs. Fellow resident Margaret Drake also received a rug during the special visit.
The thoughtful project brought joy to both the givers and receivers, with the ladies expressing how much they enjoyed contributing to a local cause from the comfort of their homes.
