ROYAL
BRITISH
LEGION
POPPY
APPEAL
The Branch held their AGM on the 9th of December, and
I reported to them the results of Poppy Appeal. Only now can
I report these results to Elstead Village.
I had a lot of help with Appeal, and I am not going to list them
as they are all very precious to me and missing someone out is something
I wish to avoid. In 2005 we had the 60th Anniversaries
of VE and VJ day and the 200th anniversary of Trafalgar,
but Appeal is not always about the Great War. It is also about
the pain and suffering that our service people go through now every
day, in Iraq and elsewhere. I wish to thank the church, the
school, and everyone who collected and donated. We did well
in all departments, and it is only possible because people give
of their time and energy willingly without fuss, knowing why we
do it and who we do it for.
