Successes
Regional Charities 2005-2008
The total amount raised for charity over the past 4 years
by the WEW Regional Council and all the Branches in our area was a
staggering £1.27
Million! Our hearty thanks go to all who have
helped raise this terrific amount. A cheque was presented at
the Regional Council Ball in Bournemouth to the representatives of
the five children’s hospices in our area for £523,000 after thanking us they said
what a fantastic sum we had raised and they hoped our partnership
would continue for many years to come.
Regional Council Ball
The WEW Regional Council Ball took place at the Carrington
House Hotel in Bournemouth on 4 October 2009. Once again it
was a superb evening, well attended by over 250 members and their
guests who enjoyed an excellent dinner followed by dancing.
All the representatives of the Hospices who received our charity
cheque for funds raised over the last four years said how much they
appreciated our hospitality and what a splendid night they had all
had.
