Several familiar faces were missing today but those who came had a laugh and enjoyed the company. We collected £105 for our Methodist Church. This total was greatly helped by Sue, who brought her tomato plants for us to sell.
In June we shall be celebrating the Queens Platinum Jubilee on coffee morning day so be prepared to bring your crown and wave a flag! April coffee morning was quieter than some and we raised £86.50 for Street Child. Easter simnel cake and meringues with cream were served and Evelyn also made little baskets of mini eggs all of which contributed to our total. Thanks to Evelyn, Phil and Pauline our servers. The coffee morning was a busy one with many people commenting that they had known someone affected with Pancreatic Cancer and so a magnificent £146 was raised for the charity. Thanks to Hazel and Elizabeth for hosting the event. A total of £106 raised to support Young Minds. A good mix of people attended to discuss their Spring plans.and even one doggie made a good turnout for the day. Today heralded the first of our 2022 monthly coffee mornings and our chosen charity to kickstart the new year was Saint Giles’ Hospice. In spite of the winter chill a good number of hardy souls ventured out and were rewarded by a lovely spread of new year goodies, a guess the name of the doll competition and our ever popular raffle. Many thanks to Chris, Sue and Val who hosted today’s gathering, ably assisted by washing up team Vincent, Malcolm and Colin! The snow was falling as we left, happy to have met up with friends and satisfied with the healthy £100 raised which will be sent to Saint Giles’ Hospice this week.  Due to the inclement weather a select few met for the Christmas coffee morning in aid of Emmaus, a charity serving the homeless. We had some fun and raised £90 as well. All present practiced singing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" and then pulled a party popper. The raffle prizes were a big hit!
We had a great turnout at our November Coffee Morning today. More than forty people dropped by this morning and the schoolroom was full of the usual chatter as people celebrated being able to gather together again. It was great to see some new faces amongst the ‘regulars’ too. Our coffee morning was in aid of MacMillan - the cancer support group, and the magnificent sum of £320 was raised. Many thanks to all our attendees and helpers, some great cakes and raffle prizes donated too, all demonstrating once again what a great team we have at Nether Whitacre Methodist Chapel and what a generous community we live in.
Todays coffee morning raised nearly £85 pounds for our own Chapel. A little thin today as a number of people had to miss the event but plenty of cakes and chat from those that were able to attend.
We had our first coffee morning since the start of the pandemic today. We raised £71.57 for Hearing Dogs for the Deaf which was our opening nominated charity. A good range of people came filling most of the tables and it was good to put actual faces to people rather than hearing them on the phone or seeing them on zoom! A good raffle also ensured that many did not go home empty handed. Put in a date in your diary for next month. *** Updated to £85 - a great total *** |
