Raising funds for Alzheimer’s Research
In July 2016 a well supported fun evening raised funds for Alzheimer’s Research.
Members and guests in assorted 1940’s dress were entertained by the excellent Victory Sisters who provided a stunning repertoire of WW2 classics.
The music continued through the fish and chip supper and afterwards with music-accompanied slide shows of images from the period. Although produced for the evening the two slide shows are to be recycled by Ray Broomfield, the principal organiser of the event, in a tour of local Care Homes that treat patients suffering from Alzheimers. The first of these memory-joggers has already taken place and has been very well received.
The final figure for the evening was £1000, a cheque for which was presented by Ray Broomfield to Rebecca Futrall, fund raiser for Alzheimers Research.
