Busy time for Auntie Libby

Some members of Cabus WI

It's been a busy time for our ambassador in the UK, Elizabeth Gomm.
Elizabeth, Auntie Libby to our family, has been out and about giving talks about our family.

Auntie Libby in St Annes

Last week, after a very successful event at Spire Hospital with Jo and Peter Reid, early in the week she was at Cabus, near Garstang, and in St Annes on Sea the following evening.
Her hosts at Cabus were the ladies of the Women's Institure who made a donation of £30 to the Happy House.
At St Annes, the St Margaret's Church Evening Ladies Guild were a lovely audience.

St Margaret's Guild

Libby had stood in at the last minute when their planned speaker was unable to attend, and they were all so appreciative.
She received a £30 club donation plus £35 in individual donations. The money from both talks has been added to our Building a Bright Future Appeal.
This week she again stepped in at the last minute, this time for St Annes Inner Wheel International Night.
Their planned speaker was unable to be there, so Libby was asked to talk about Happy House - and she never misses an opportunity to do that.
Members of Inner Wheel were joined by husbands and friends who are members of local Rotary Club for  a dinner and talk at the Bedford Hotel.

Libby  showed them a video and  gave them an insight to Happy House life, highlight the high standards set by Mama Sue who believes that only the best is good enough for a child, regardless of background.
They were impressed and inspired by Happy House and the way that every penny raised goes directly where it is intended.
Libby was introduced by and thanked by club international chairman, Denise Jones.

The evening raised £234 toward our Building a Bright Future Appeal to finish, furnish and open our secondary school.
