SF Women's Lunch
Women's Lunch is a once a month gathering of Mothers, Partners/Wives, Sisters, Grandmothers and Friends.
Times are changing but care is still being given by women in many carer roles. We at SF acknowledge these women by offerning them a nice meal and social gathering, peer support, laughter and stories which have on occasion removed a sense of isolation. Friendships are formed, knowledge and experience shared and acceptance is the essence.
First or second Monday of the month at 362 Dee Street Invercargill from 12pm - 1.30pm

Men's Interest Group
Last Wednesday of the month (except April) at 362 Dee Street Invercargill at 7pm. Supper provided, all welcome.
