Saturday 13th April 2024 saw 78 members and guests at District Chair Mary’s fundraiser for her two charities the Derby Women’s Centre and the Nottingham Women’s Centre. Both charities were big winners from the event with the raffle and “Heads and Tails” competition raising £487. The Hostess Restaurant laid on a delicious two-course “late lunch” and The Grand Central Chorus, a male voice four-part harmony choir had our feet tapping followed by a standing ovation. It was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Shining a light on two very worthwhile causes whilst enjoying great fellowship and good food.

At the end of a very successful afternoon, Mary sent us home with the thought “Diamonds are nothing more than lumps of coal that stuck to their job”
