We received communication that the club in Jamaica was helping to raise money for water tanks to provide the vital facility to families without water. \u00a0Members decided it would be good to hand over some money to the Jamaican delegates at Gateshead Conference. \u00a0At that meeting members donated, through a collection, to start off the appeal. \u00a0Then on 29th October 2013 as part of a celebration of Black History Month, Barbara and Jan organised a Craft evening for members and friends to raise further funds. \u00a0The social committee provided excellent refreshments. \u00a0The two occasions raised sufficient funds to provide three 200 gallon tanks for needy families.<\/p>\n<p>As 10 Bilston members were attending Conference in Gateshead we arranged to meet a delegate from Jamaica, as no one from SI North Jamaica was able to attend. Jeanne P.Robinson Foster from SI Montego Bay, seen here wearing the blue sweater, accepted the monies to pass on to SI North Jamaica club.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image
