We decided to have an evening of fun and games in aid of The Rotary Opthalmascope Initiative (ROI) organised by Stevenage Grange RC. The games were highly amusing and in some cases very tricky as you would expect from a room full of pirates!

 Jo, Hazel and Liz who completed the Playtex Moonwalk in May. |
The training took
months. she wore out several pairs of trainers but Jo was determined to
complete the moon walk and not only that, she did it in a truly respectable time.
The walk started in London at 11:40pm and they crossed the finish line at 6:07am averaging less than 15 minutes per mile. Pretty good for 26.2 miles. The walk raises money for combating breast cancer and Jo and her two friends raised £1500. Well done girls. You can put your feet up now!Click the picture for a big image

We ran a casino night at the Lovat Fields Retirement Village for the Extra Care Business challenge. |
The ExtraCare charity
asked local businesses to invest £50 to raise funds for the charity in a
three month period. The organisation who had raised the most at the end of
that period would win a trophy. We held a casino night at Lovat Fields and raised over £700. We also had a raffle and one of our members extracted contributions for a district meeting in February.

On Saturday 24th
November, we were given permission by Morrisons in Leighton Buzzard to ask
the public to donate some extra groceries or toiletries which we then donate
to local worthy causes. The shoppers were extremely generous and we gathered 5 large shopping trolleys worth of goods. The Mayor of Leighton Buzzard, who lives very close to the store, visited
