Elsie is 90! Congratulations to our Honorary President Elsie Haden who celebrated her 90th birthday recently. Easter Fair & Raffle a Success We raised over £2000 from our Easter Fair and Raffle. This was a one-off event as we were unable to run our Christmas Fair as the hospital was closed to visitors in December due to the Norovirus. Summer Fete on the way We are busy preparing for our summer Fete on 4th July. Any help either on the day or selling raffle tickets during the previous fortnight would be welcomed. Please contact the office on 01527 512009. League Helps Midwives One of our recent purchases has been Sat Nav Equipment for the Community Midwives – greatly appreciated not only by the midwives but also nervous fathers-to-be! The family room for the maternity department has also been re-furbished. League helps the Stroke Assesment Unit The Stroke assessment unit is grateful for our purchase of 4 Electrically operated chairs to help stroke patients at a cost of £12,000. Attention all BOOK WORMS! The sale of books from the trolley outside the office continues to be a great money raiser. Books are always urgently needed for re-sale in the Coffee Shop. If you have any books, (in good condition please) which you would be willing to donate, the League would be extremely grateful to receive them. We have now extended this to include videos, DVDs and complete jigsaws.
