Post Early for Christmas – ONLY 15 more required !!
Following my request for support for a 2019 Ropley Christmas card collection and delivery service, I have now received 20 offers of support. It is encouraging that most of those who have contacted me to date have not been involved in previous years.
Only a handful of those who have been helping in previous years have contacted me.
However, I am still looking for another 15 or so volunteers if the Christmas card service is to take place this year.
So, if you have helped in the past and want to be involved this year, please contact me as I will not contact you, as I have done in previous years, OR if you haven’t been involved in the past, contact me and I will add you to my current list.
I look forward to hearing from you
