All our other Committees mostly rely on the Fundraising Committee in order to expedite the projects which they support.
For instance, the project to build a Science Block at the Agona Swedru School in Ghana; the ongoing support of the End Polio Now campaign; the provision of supplies for environmental projects such as the forming and maintenance of school gardens; the list goes on....
Some of the ways in which funds have been raised so far this year are a Summer Gala Music Night, Wine Tasting, and our Soup and Roll day.
And events planned for the future are a Charity Breakfast, Chilli Evening, Silent Disco, Quiz, Plant Sale, Little Oakley Rocks, Jazz Lunch, and our big charity event of the year is the Annual Charity Dinner.
Of course, even while we are fundraising we like to have fun, and to this end we organise social events for our members which gives us all a sense of fellowship and a friendly feeling that exists between people who have a shared interest.
Some of the types of social events include Petanque, Lamport Railway Cream Tea Special, Walking/Hobbling , weekend, Christmas dinner, outings to places of interest in the area, and the icing on the cake is the President's trip, which this year will be a five day break in Dorset.
