Hello Ladies Thanks to everyone who came to our Christmas morning and lunch today. The IWA Choir were in fine voice and sang all the old favourites (well mine, anyway) to much applause. Plus we were very happy to have Mr Balan from Ramakrishna Ashrama to say a few words. The children of this orphanage will be the recipients of this year?s Shoebox Appeal. Thanks to everyone who made a shoebox. Thanks also to Irene Grigson, Karen Gillanders and Sue Watts for kindly making the Christmas cakes for this year?s Christmas morning.
