A cheque for £960 raised from last year's Coffee and Tea sales is presented to Dr. Penny Foulds of Lancaster University Defying Dementia programme.

Dr Foulds gave an update on the development of a drug treatment for Alzheimer's Disease at Lancaster University and thanked everyone at the coffee morning for their support. The proceeds from today's coffee morning will be added to the £960
to fund clinical trials at their Centre for Ageing Research.

 Rotary Shoe Boxes

The photos show the second batch of shoe boxes being filled this week. Garstang URC have filled 88 boxes which will be distributed by Rotary International this Christmas.

  Commitment for Life

Following the recent Commitment for Life Service and the Communion collections, Garstang URC were able to send £400 to Commitment for Life to support the work of Christian Aid and its partners. Many thanks to all who contributed.

In October, three URC members, Hilary and David Ralphs and Stella Clarke, joined the team of Millenium Green volunteers to plant 6000 wild daffodil bulbs on the Green. Escaping heavy showers, they planted 500 bulbs in a designated area. Now we wait for the results.
