'The Hand On'….to the Next Generation

/

Thanksgiving2012a The Hypatia Trust held its annual Thanksgiving Day celebration on Thursday 22nd November 2012 at The Lime Tree Cafe at Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens.

Forty-five lively people filled the room despite the dreadful weather outside.

At the dinner, we welcomed

  • Polly Attwood, our new Director
  • Dr Tehmina Goskar, our new Elizabeth Treffry Curator
  • Joanne Schofield, our new Events Organiser.

.......and raised a toast to 'new beginnings'.

Melissa will remain a Trustee after this 'hand on' & hopefully have a little more free time [wish-full thinking].

The evening finished with a raffle of pottery, donated by local ceramist Debbie Prosser. Debbie couldn't attend so she donated a number of bowls and mugs for the raffle. The ceramics were displayed on a beautiful pashmina shawl donated by Ruth Simpson, which made another prize.

The raffle made £75 for the funds and we are very grateful to Debbie and Ruth.
