Winter News

Hello everyone,

Hope that you're all managing to stay warm during this very wintry weather!
As we head towards the festive season , don't forget to get your raffle tickets for the Christmas Hamper . The sunflowers are busy making some festive goodies for this but donations are still warmly welcomed. The tickets are £1.00 for 5 and the draw will take place after the sunflowers Christmas concert on Friday 17th December. All proceeds  will go to our staff development fund.

Those of you eagerly awaiting the arrival of Christmas cards and T-towels - I can only apologise for the delay. They are on their way but the severe weather has had an impact on mail deliveries at what is already a very busy time of year . I will let you know as soon as they arrive.

Finally , we have been overwhelmed by your generous response to the Giving Tree Appeal . I appreciate that this is a busy and expensive time of year for everyone , yet so many gifts were handed in - my office looked like Santa's workshop- an astonishing amount of presents. As the children who will benefit from your kindness are unable to thank you themselves , I would like to do so on their behalf- you have all given a little Christmas joy to a  child who may otherwise have nothing - thank you so much .

A reminder that we will close at 6pm on Thursday 23rd December and re-open  8am Wednesday 5th January 2011.

More next week!
