| CREAM TEA PARTY Wednesday 8th March 2017 |
|
|
When
we heard about this initiative the members thought it was a great idea and provisionally booked the
Ingatestone Community Centre; with some persuasion the ladies agreed to help (
well – actually do it!!). RIBI President Eve Conway decided to make a Tea Party
Event not just for polio but a celebration of International Women’s Day - with parties across the nation on 8th
March. |
|
|
The Community Centre was set out with tablecloths, flowers and crockery raided from everyone's cupboards and so we hoped for a few attendees. The response was overwhelming despite a gloomy afternoon we were very pleased to get about 70 people attending, one or two Rotarians but a lot of villagers.
