WHAT a fabulous sight was to be seen at St. Mary’s Church, Alverstoke, during their Christmas tree festival – 69 cleverly decorated and illuminated trees.
The three-day event is the third to be held at the church and our club tree was one of those that lit up the lovely building. It was decorated by Pam Simcock, a former president and Chelsea Flower Show judge, and featured stars depicting projects that we have worked on, such as our international effort Project Sierra. The tree was topped by a magnificent globe (pictured right) illustrating our international role, suitably inscribed: A Global Voice for Women.
One of the aims of the festival is to unite the community and it was obvious from the names of the tree sponsors – among them local schools, businesses and organisations such as ours – that this was achieved.
Money raised will go to the St Mary’s “Shaping the Future” Fund.
