Sunday 28th June at 2.30pm, in aid of our Earthquake Relief Fund.
Many thanks to each and every person who attended or supported our Vintage Afternoon Tea Party last Sunday 28th June 2015.
Your generosity is truly amazing, we raised €2,710.
This amount will provide 30 families (of 5 people) with the following earthquake relief supplies: tarpaulin, warm clothing, blankets, food and medicine for a month. It is profit from the afternoon tea tickets, generous donations, craft sales and the raffle.
It very much exceeds our wildest expectations!
