She and her friends agreed to join her in a night of music which we held on\u00a0 Friday 1st October at The Servant King Church at Furzton.\u00a0 The evening started at 7pm with a chance to get raffle tickets and browse the craft stall before taking a seat at 7.30pm to listen to a varied programme of classical music and dance\/TV\/Film music.\u00a0 We had an interval for people to enjoy tea, coffee and cake and to buy more raffle tickets and items from our craft stall made by our members and friends.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5233 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/milton-keynes\/files\/2021\/11\/2021-Oct-Music-event-4-300x172.jpg\" alt=\"2021 Oct Classical Music event raising funds for Winter Night Shelter MK\" width=\"300\" height=\"172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/milton-keynes\/files\/2021\/11\/2021-Oct-Music-event-4-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/milton-keynes\/files\/2021\/11\/2021-Oct-Music-event-4.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The evening was a great success.\u00a0 A big thanks to Karen Mason and her Quintet, called Melomane, which means music lover.\u00a0 The musicians were Karen Mason on Oboe, Caroline Cartwright on Bassoon, Kate Knight on French Horn, Clair Vogeli on Clarinet and Bridget Wilson on Flute.<\/p>\n<p>At our October meeting we invited Kathy Howard, Welfare Team from Winter Night Shelter MK to our meeting and were very privileged to hand over a cheque for \u00a3700 raised from the Music event and previous raffle ticket collections.\u00a0 Kathy updated us on the continuing increase of homeless people in MK and the kinds of help they are having to give their clients and how this money would be spent.\u00a0 She also shared information about the forthcoming Emergency Winter Night Shelters which would be setting up around Milton Keynes from 22 November and their need for volunteers to help staff these emergency centres.
