During this week's meeting we were delighted to present a cheque for £1,325, being the proceeds of this year's Duck Race, to Jenna Simpson of “Befriend a Child”.
Jenna thanked the Club for choosing “Befriend a Child” as our Charity, and outlined the great benefits this sum would bring to them.

Sadly, we didn’t win the main award, but still managed to gain a rather handsome, framed certificate for our achievement.
Well done again to all who worked hard to make our "Warm Welcome Space" a great success.

Brilliant News about the Alford Friendship Cafe .......... and congratulations to all involved!

Hello everyone,
You will be delighted to know our Friendship Cafe has been nominated and shortlisted for an Award, by the Warm Welcome Campaign - a national (GB) organisation of which we have been a member for four years.
There are well over 6000 ‘warm spaces’ up and down the country, and this is the first year their work (including ours) is being celebrated by giving awards in 6 categories.
Our Cafe is one of 4 shortlisted for the WARMEST WELCOME AWARD, out of hundreds of nominations. We are the only Scottish group to be so honoured, and we should all be immensely proud of our joint achievement, and of each individual’s contribution to making a positive difference to life here in Alford.
Well done everyone . High fives all round !
The Awards ceremony will take place on 17th June at SKY Headquarters in London , where those shortlisted will receive a certificate. The winner in each category is presented with a trophy (just like the Oscars) and £1000 towards their Warm Welcome Space.
Our Cafe will be sending representatives to the Ceremony, where each project’s story will be told and celebrated. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if our little corner of the country were successful ? (More news in due course.)
If you are interested in reading all about it , Google WARM WELCOME and follow the prompts to AWARDS SHORTLISTS, where you will find our name listed.
With grateful thanks for all your help,

A reminder of the coffee morning at Alford West Gordon Church on Saturday 16 May from 10am to noon.
Come and join us, have a cuppa and fine piece, a good chat and then visit our room where you can have your blood pressure checked.
High blood pressure (also called hypertension) can lead to serious problems, but the only way to find out if you have high blood pressure is to get your blood pressure checked.
We look forward to seeing you there.
