We are doing same day Raffles on the stand with funds channelled to Norfolk Air Ambulance. And with this in mind have handed out letters asking for donations from as many local companies and organisations as possible. We are hoping to secure some support no matter how modest for this worthy cause.
If you are one of the lucky recipients of one of these letters - thank you so much for taken the time to read the letter and view our web page, we hope you found it informative and interesting. And hope you will be able to help towards our Raffle. Again thank you.
Yours sincerely, Mrs S Middleton, (Sarah) Club Secretary.
