Meet a member: skilled and “crafty” Catherine Smith

MCVC is fortunate to have many skilled and “crafty” ladies amongst their membership. One of these ladies is Catherine Smith. Some time ago Catherine offered to set up a jewellery table to sell new and used items of jewellery at the monthly lunch with all proceeds going to The Smith Family. This has been a roaring success, and the ladies look forward to seeing what Catherine has on offer.

Catherine also puts on high teas at her home with the profits going to The Smith Family.
