Hello from a cold but dry Filey, U.K.
On 16th March Filey Rotary Club held a Spring Fayre and we booked two tables to fund raise for Smiles to Tanzania.
We thought you might like to see some photos of the event. The photo below shows a friend Margaret manning the soft toy stall, which proved quite popular. Most of the soft toys were 'Easter' themed, being mainly chickens, rabbits or lambs. Each toy was given a name and the customer picked a name out of the container to see which one they had won. A prize every time!
I had a stall with a variety of goods where people picked a card and matched it with one on the table to see what prize they had won. Again, a prize every time!
It was good fun, and thanks to Margaret and her husband Graham for helping out.

A couple of days ago Derek and I visited the Alba Rose Residential Home in Pickering, where we met the residents, and Derek gave a presentation showing slides of us with Lake Victoria Children's Society; giving out clothes, shoes, soap etc. to the outlying villagers, and also the lining of the well at the Albino Society.
Some of the Alba Rose lady residents had helped to sew up some of the 'fish and chip' vests which we had received from Thornton le Dale W.I earlier this month. Before our visit, the Home had taken part in a coffee morning and earmarked the proceeds for our charity.
Many thanks to the Alba Rose Residential Home Management, and to the residents for their hospitality and donations. It was good to meet you all.
Our photo below shows Ann Marflitt (Activities Coordinator) and Lena Gowthorpe, a resident of the Alba Rose Home.

March has proved to be a busy month for the charity. Derek has given six presentations to various organizations to raise awareness for the need to help our friends on Ukerewe island.
Robert has been busy producing a tri-fold leaflet which can be given to interested people.
Christopher continues to work on our Web site. Watch this space!
We have been given donations of mens and womens clothing, knitted childrens jumpers and baby hats, books and soft toys. Thank you all for your kindness.
We wish you all a Very Happy Easter,
Until the next time,
Best wishes,
Diane, Derek and the team.
