The
Desert Island Discs evening raised £180 for the Scout's International
Friendship Fund, which we rounded up to £200 with
money
from donations. In addition, we are making donations of £300 to Disasters
Emergency Committee for their Myanmar (Burma) Typhoon
Appeal,
and £150 each to Stort Valley Schools Trust and Water Aid.
Our next event is the Summer (?) Barbecue
taking place on the 13th July at 8 All Saints' Close, the home of Harold and
Margaret Rush,
who
are kindly allowing us use of their garden. Last year this was a very successful
event so we hope those who didn't make it last year will do so
this
time.
It
is in aid of The Samaritans and will start at 1.30 for 2.00 pm.

Link News:
from Mary Bateman
We are delighted to tell you that we have heard from the
Kabakaburi Nursery School Supervisor, Clothilde Gonsalves, that all the parcels
arrived safely and their contents have now been distributed to the needy
families.
We are very grateful to Clothilde, who has been taking
responsibility for distributing your gifts to the needy for over ten years. We
are now asking for your help again, please, as we wish to send another
consignment. We have in mind the following:
-
children’s cotton clothing, household linen (pillow
slips, sheets) and towels (not too large), and
-
soft toys, skipping ropes, chalk, felt tip pens and
pencils…and toilet soap would be rather nice!
Any of the committee members would be pleased to hear
from you and we can arrange to collect your gifts if you wish.
