Change of Convenor
At a recent committee meeting of IQFA, we said goodbye to David Gamble , who was our convenor for many years. David was the unseen hand that guided the good ship “IQFA” for many years. We would like to sincerely thank David for the stewardship he provided , we hope he enjoys his well-earned retirement!
At the same committee meeting, we also said “Hello” to our new Convenor, Anna Wade from Waterford. We thank Anna for stepping up to fill the gap left by David. Anna will be using the IQFAcon at gmail.com email address, so hopefully this will be a seamless transition.
THANK YOU for helping make the IQFA Festive Crafts ‘n’ Bakes sale a great success!
THANK YOU to everyone who helped make the Festive Crafts ‘n’ Bakes Sale in Monkstown Meeting House on 6th December a huge success!
This was only made possible by the 50+ Friends who helped in one (or more) ways! Thank you to those who were busy crafting and making cards during the year, to those who helped with publicity, to everyone who helped by baking, donating, helping set up/clear up, who helped on a stall or in the café on the day, or who helped wash up, clean up and deliver leftovers to charity shops. Great teamwork all round!
A special mention to Monkstown Friends who were so welcoming and supportive, and who didn’t hesitate to roll up their sleeves and get involved in any and every way.
The monies raised will be distributed to several projects across the world supported by Irish Quaker Faith in Action (IQFA), mostly small projects with a Quaker connection that focus on social action, justice and/or peace-building. To find out more about the work of IQFA, see www.iqfa.net.
Do you know of a small charity in Ireland or overseas that would benefit from a donation from IQFA? If so, please request an application form from David Gamble, IQFA Convenor, at iqfacon@gmail.com.
Many thanks, Fiona Murdoch (on behalf of the IQFA Sale Organising Committee )
