COPES IN MAY
This month we’re highlighting the role played by (& saying a big THANK-YOU) to some of regular supporters and helpers…..our founder and long-time members:
There’s Margaret, who, with her husband Charles, donates free toiletry gift packs to any women who need them on Eastwood Ward,
There’s Rosemary, who donates and bakes the most fab cakes ever — and runs the Raffle,
There’s Sally, who greets new members, runs the raffle and donates every month.
There’s Pat, who puts a smile on our faces and who runs a mean tombola,
And our lovely Mo, who is always ready to help us all and act as a link between hospital and members.
They are the life and soul of COPES, they are amazing supporters who are always there to welcome new members and help out at our events.
Where would we be without them?
Our thanks to The Roslin Beach Hotel for being wonderful hosts at the Dinner Dance and to Sue Soper and Wendy Barker for doing the organisation (no small task!) See separate NewsSheet and webpage www.copescharity.co.uk for pictures.
