Letchworth Howard breaks record with 25th Annual Partners Quiz Night
Letchworth Howard Rotary Club marked 25 years of its annual partners quiz with a bumper quiz night on Saturday May 20 that raised a record-breaking £1,338 for charity.
The two principal beneficiaries are Magic Breakfast, which provides healthy school breakfasts to hungry and malnourished children in disadvantaged areas of the UK, and Garden House Hospice, which serves a wide area from its Letchworth Garden City base. The club’s own charitable fund is also receiving a top-up from the event, helping to enable rapid responses to emergency events and aiding the club’s own community activities through the year.
The quiz was organised by Karen Green, wife of club president Colin Green, with a band of helpers who also prepared excellent food for the midway supper break. The evening, at St George’s Church Hall, Letchworth Garden City, also included a raffle that by itself raised £273.
