‘Final Fling’ Afternoon Tea
As a final Flourish members organised an Afternoon Teas fund-raiser, to which former members of Asby WI were invited. We were delighted that nine were able to join us (with Jackie Lambert coming all the way from Northumberland to do so) as well as residents from and visitors to the village. There were more than 30 customers during the event.
Besides a loaded table of delicious foods to choose from, there was a display to peruse of Scrapbooks that dated back many, many years. Members, both former and current, spent time looking through these, happily reminiscing on earlier times as they did so.
The afternoon was held to raise money for Ankoma Outreach and Hospice at Home and the guests’ donations for their teas raised more than £330. We were pleased that Asha Williams who, with her husband, had instituted the Ankoma charity, was able to come along and talk about their work in Uganda with some of the customers.
