PAST EVENTS:
Friday 15th. March: Evening Jumble Sale
A huge THANK YOU to all those who made the jumble
sale possible on Friday, March 15th. We raised a grand
total of £470 to be divided between the Karibuni Trust
and Church Funds.
Nothing went to waste; a trip to a recycling centre
helped to swell the total from £435 to £470.
Other items went to:
The Air Ambulance Charity, Sue Ryder Charity,
Blackberry Farm Charity, The Whitechapel Charity (even the
Embroiderers Guild benefited with several embroidery rings!)
THANK YOU everyone for your support. Without you it
would not have been possible!
