Pakenham WI News - February 2025

Thursday 13th February2025
Lindsey Barrell was a fascinating and entertaining speaker who told us how she discovered Burlesque approximately 5 years ago. Realising she wanted to dance, Lindsey developed a character: Miss Cherry Bombe and introduced Burlesque dancing at her WI. In addition, Lindsey has also raised money for charity through Burlesque dancing.
Lindsey, dressed in red and black, explained she can vary her costume by changing accessories. We listened then it was our turn to try Burlesque dancing - everyone took part! 

Our next WI meeting will be on Thursday 13  March, doors open at 7pm. Our speaker will be Dan Gilkes, a survivor of Cardiac arrest, who will talk about his experience.  Dan now does voluntary work for the Air Ambulance and will be teaching us CPR.  Do come and learn, so important.

We have our ‘Ladies Who Lunch’ this month.
