are very fortunate that Stuart Boreham has agreed
to be the speaker. In 2004 Stuart
rowed across the Atlantic, becoming the
first physically disabled person in the
world to row an ocean unassisted
and unsupported. The story of
his journey is truly inspirational and he now uses this experience to motivate others, demonstrating that having a disability is not a barrier to achievement. Please come along for what promises to be a memorable evening. and on Monday 5th May:- NFWI Resolutions 7.30 p.m. in the Rhodes Memorial Hall. If you aren’t a member come along anyway and give it a go.Further information from Thora Corris 820242 www.sevenhampton.org/wi Helen MatherHelen
Mather asked us to thank everyone for the support she had received
during her stay in hospital. She was overwhelmed by the kindness
of friends in the village and wanted you all to know how much it was
appreciated. Although she sadly passed away on Easter Sunday, we think she would still have wanted you all to know, your generosity did not go unnoticed. |
