IT is that time again when Bolton Lions Club says its public "thank you" to all who took part in, and contributed to, the tremendous Caring Christmas Appeal at the end of last year.
The statistics are inspiring; around 400 families with 1000 children were beneficiaries. Although the amount of monies collected etc was down, the number of actual toy donations increased.
Our appreciation of our helpers, whether superstore, commercial premises, village or town shops, the churches, schools, other organisations and individual persons, is so very sincerely stated here; and we trust that the happiness engendered in recipient parents and children will have lasted long in the mind since Christmas Day.
The co-operation between our Lions Club and the Bolton Evening News speaks for itself -- it takes both to accomplish what we do. Our thanks also, therefore, to the Bolton Evening News.
