President Shirley Whiteway
I hope you find this year’s programme varied with programme action at its core and some fun events too. With agreement from members earlier this year, I made contact with The Salvation Army Rhyl. I have been aware of the work undertaken by The Salvation Army in the local community. However it was only recently that I discovered that, as a charity, they work very closely with other local charities, local government organisations such as housing and social care, to ensure support is offered to most vulnerable and needy in the local community. I was delighted to hear to that they also support woman leaving prison, something as an organisation we have been interested in for some time.
With your support we shall continue to support women at the North Wales Women’s Centre and as well take part in periodic beach cleaning initiatives. We shall continue with the maintenance of the Courtyard Garden at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd. It has become such a happy space for patients, staff and visitors and is clearly flourishing.
We have a few fund raising initiatives in the programme and the first of which will be a garden party on 24th June.
We are fortunate to have been able to book Trelawnyd Male Voice Choir for a concert at St Margaret’s Church, Bodelwyddan on Friday 1st December. Whilst this will take some planning , I am confident that collectively we can make this evening a tremendous success.
Looking forward to my year as Club President.
