Coffee morning takes Appeal over £7,000 mark

2 November 2007

On Friday 2nd November, Sharon Ellaway hosted a Coffee Morning in aid of the Rose Willcocks Appeal. Sharon (along with many of her lovely friends) went to a great deal of effort baking lots of wonderful cakes which were thoroughly enjoyed by all those who attended. There was also a 'guess the weight of the cake competition' and a raffle which included several fantastic prizes. The morning was enjoyed by all and generated £225 which took the total raised so far to over £7,000. Our sincere thanks go to Sharon and her faithful team for all their hard work and of course to everybody who attended who helped make the morning such a huge success.

A HUGE thank you also to those people who have offered to do a sponsored/fundraising event. Namely Kevin Shilling who is running for Rose in October, Gillian & Diane who are running for Rose in November and Cathie Marshall & Victoria Bell who are organising a coffee morning in October. We will post more details as we get them.
