Jumpers and Jazz in July Tree Decoration

THE WISH TREE – CREATED BY THE ZONTA CLUB OF WARWICK INC

The theme for this year’s Jumpers and Jazz in July tree competition is “Crackers”.

The “Crackers” theme brought us to the idea of Christmas Crackers. We could all remember the excitement and joy these small bundles brought to us; what would the surprise be? What colour is the hat? Would the joke be funny? This leads us to think about Christmas wishes and an idea formed that our tree would be filled with crackers, not containing trinkets or hats, but a wish for every woman in the world. Consisting of 80 handmade crackers all different and labelled with a wish for womanhood. It is hoped the tree will look colourful and festive but also sends a message that we at Zonta think about other women in the world and work towards improving their opportunities and experiences.

Thanks to our members who were out bright and early on a chilly morning and to Greg and Bob for climbing the ladders
