March Yarn

TYarn2015-03-Marchhe March 2015 issue of The Southern Yarn is ready to be retrieved. The big news this month is all the plans in the works for the Anzac Day event, 100 years from the WWI landing at Gallipoli by the troops from Australia and New Zealand.

We look forward to having you join all club members and guests at the event on Saturday April 25th.

Children’s books, videos and more

It can be hard to find country-specific things for Children when you live far away from your homeland. It can be equally difficult to find people who appreciate them when your kids grow up and no longer need them.

If any members of the DUCW club with small children are interested in accepting items from members with now grown-up kids, please let us know. Some of us are hanging on to special books, clothing, games and videos with a particular connection to Down Under.
