The 2nd BWA coffee morning. Although fewer ladies attended, we still managed to raise 481 pounds towards the restoration of our chapel. Once again, the ladies were wonderful in the way that they all worked together to make everything happen. In total, over 1,000 pounds has been raised by the 2 coffee mornings. Although it has been a good effort, we still need to raise a further 19,000 pounds. A long way still to go. Our next planned money raising venture is an Easter Fair, with stands and games etc, and will include the efforts of the menfolk in the church.
After the eating and drinking was finished, I gave my testimony and we then had a sing-along.
In the evening, Graeme played his trumpet at a street party where money was collected towards assisting the families of patients who need to go to SA for medical treatment. It is amazing how many collections are made on the Island towards some charity or the other - and the people always give generously.
