AT THE January meeting, Parkway WI members started the year with a presentation from representatives of Dress A Girl Around the World, a charity which makes clothing for children who have very little. Several members with sewing experience showed great interest in the process, the making of dresses from pillowcases. The speakers outlined the vulnerability of many of these children who were often dressed in rags and how the ownership of one decent dress protected their innocence and lifted their self esteem. The presentation was both informative and moving and most members of Parkway WI expressed a keenness to get involved in some way.
