The Elizabeth Mills Centre proudly hosted a coffee morning and cake auction with Mark Garnier MP and the Mayor on Thursday 29 September for Macmillan Cancer Support. The event was also attended by Sandra Baker from Macmillan.
Karen Butler, Chairperson said "it was a fantastic morning; well supported, great fun and more importantly a superb fundraiser. We raised £210 which Barclays Bank are going to double; all in all (with their wonderful help) a whacking £420."
The event was made even more special by a kind donation to Dave Little for Macmillan of £150. This was given by Roger and Martyn Smith in memory of their late mother Thelma.
Karen added "It was so nice to spend time with the chaps who both travelled quite a distance to be with us. Thelma would have been so proud of them: It's priceless to know that her support for charities lives on through her children. Not only did they kindly donate to Macmillan but also to the EMC. They presented us with a tea pot which made a cracking cup of tea, "just like their mother used to make!""
