We anticipate that raffle raised circa \u00a3300.\u00a0 Thanks to Federation President Ruth for her generous donation.<\/p>\n<p>This was my first attendance at a Region Lunch, and I enjoyed every minute.\u00a0 Yes these events take time to arrange but all the hard work pays off handsomely given the amount that we raised on the day.<\/p>\n<p>Helen Teare sent this thank you note and will be using some of our photographs in their marketing activities.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2018It was all my pleasure and thank you for inviting me.
