THREEWAY-FUNDRAISERS,

Reid Hall,

FORFAR.

Wilma Whyte has done it yet again, she presented MS Angus branch and the other two charities namely Angus Cancer Care, and Childlink at the Reid Hall in Forfar with a cheque for £2200.00 each.  That makes a total of £6600.00 that was donated to the charities last year in 2008.  This has increased from last year by £600.00 (£200.00 extra to each charity).  Thanks go to all who helped Wilma with their donations or input and a special thanks again to Wilma. 

The cheques were donated at her 50th Birthday Party where she invited us along with the other charities representatives and loads of other friends and family.

In the invitation that she sent out she stated that she did not want any presents, but if you wished to give something then you could just make a donation to be put into the Threeway-Fundraisers collection box.  This made a start to the 2009 fundraising collection.

Go to "see more" of the pictures (including donation of the cheque) in the Reid Hall Forfar.

Picture of flowers our branch passed on to Wilma for her Birthday.

Our branch donated the flowers to Wilma (see above) for her birthday, and to say a special thank-you for all her unstoppable efforts.  Wilma is a very down to earth girl the salt of the earth and she does not like any fuss made about any of her good deeds.  She got very emotional when presented with the flowers but we also respected her wishes and made a donation to the Threeway-fundraisers charity box.

The donation from Wilma was made to Agness Boath, (support co-ordinator for our branch) the other committee members present was Ruby Martin, (my wife) and myself, and Arthur Boath (husband of Agnes).  Arthur was busy taken the pictures so unfortunately can't be seen on any of the pictures showing the donation of the cheque.

The other 2 cheques were donated to Anne Pender for Angus Cancer Care, and Linda Smeaton for Childlink.
