Tree of Remembrance

President Gary with representatives of Charities

The Tree of Remembrance at Tesco Lisburn has been felled post Christmas after a very successful period.

An amazing close to £14000 has been raised for local Charities in the few weeks before Christmas.

Thanks are  due to Tescos for their support and to the great generosity of the Lisburn public in helping us to achieve this result.Also to Smyth Pattersons who allowed a collection on a few days other Charities were collecting at Tescos.

Also thanks to the volunteers of the Charities who helped with collection and to local Scouts for their support.

Rotarian Paul Duggan oversaw the event and a huge amount of work was put in by PP Sam Patterson (gangmaster) in managing the volunteers and the placing of ribbons on the Tree

The opening of the Tree was a great success and the Club members and other Charity members have been doing great work manning the collection over the first four days. The response from the public has also been very generous.
