ELSTEAD
RBL POPPY
APPEAL
LETTER
TO
RESIDENTS
SEPTEMBER
2009

Dear Resident
The Royal
British Legion Poppy Appeal raises funds to help the ex-service
community lead a better quality of live. For the Poppy
Appeal to continue this good work we in Elstead always
need volunteers to collect house to house and a supermarkets.
Can you five a couple of hours at Remembrance time? We
ask you to join our team and make a real difference.
With the passing of Henry
Allingham and Harry Patch the last living link has gone
in the UK with the millions who fought in the great War.
However there are thousands of ex-service people from
World War Two to more modern conflicts such as Palestine,
Malaya, Korea, Cyprus, Suez and Aden. Were involved in
Northern Ireland and Kosovo, and our commitments in Iraq
and Afghanistan still continue. All will need the help
of the Poppy Appeal now and in the years to come.
If you already collect, thank you. If you feel that you
can help us, please contact me at the above address or
telephone number.
The poppy appeal runs
from the 31st of October to the 7th
November 2009.
Andrew
Jones
Hon Poppy Appeal Organiser

CHRISTMAS
HOSTS
Are you thinking about who might come for Christmas this
year? Perhaps you would like to make it a bit different.
Some of the adults from overseas who are currently studying
at UK universities would love to spend a couple of days
in a real home, rather than on a deserted campus. It is
interesting to share Christmas with people for whom it is
all quite new (many international students are from China,
for example). HOST has been linking students with hospitable
volunteers for 22 years, at Christmas and also one-off weekends
throughout the year. HOST is a registered charity backed
by the Foreign Office and many universities. It is not necessary
for hosts to live near a university, as students are prepared
to travel far for this unique experience!
See
http://www.hostuk.org/
or call HOST's voluntary
regional organiser in Surrey,
Bev Shannon, on 01883
344373.
