A “thank you” letter was received by Mary with regard to the donation of £90.22 from our after service teas. Mary also received £60 from family and friends. This money was used to purchase tourniquets which helped save lives.
These are the blankets that the members of the Craft Club have been knitting for the charity Hillhouse in Kilmarnock. They also knit baby hats which go to the labour suite at Crosshouse Hospital.
