Monmouth Lions Club

SIR,

May we, through your paper, thank the manager,

Steve Meade, and staff of Monmouth Somerfield store for

allowing our Lions Club to raise funds in the store last

month.

Customers were very generous and in helping them

to fill their shopping bags at the checkouts we raised a

massive £165.

All that money has been given to Megan Baker

House, a charity in Leominster providing free conductive

education services to children and teenagers with motor

disabilities, such as cerebral palsy, head injury, stroke,

dyspaxia and adults with Parkinsons Disease.

On Saturday, December 20, we will be taking to the

streets for our usual December street collection, this time

raising funds for Christmas food parcels for local people

in need.

As readers will know, this is a joint effort with other

local organisations, and we are grateful for the co-

ordination provided every year by Dr Matharu and the

contribution made by Waitrose.

Andy Raynor

(Secretary, Monmouth Lions Club)
