Our May 2005 Coffee Morning was a great success thanks to the hard work
and help of our members, friends and supporters. The ladies of the
The raffle went extremely well with some really nice prizes and two
lovely ladies manning it, Phyl & Muriel.
Joyce, Tom and Sylvia looked after the Awareness stand which had a lot of
interest, items included wristbands, were very quickly sold out. But we have
renewed stocks now so they will be on sale at our next event. Tracey and Marnia were very busy selling the beautiful hand made
cards, (for which we have Elsa to thank). Jill was manning the cake stall with
some of our friends from the church. And I could not resist buying some of
Joan’s home baked fruit cake, scrumptious!!
Joan was looking after the beautiful doll which was very kindly donated
by Mrs Una Johnson for our “Name the Doll” (the
winning name being Freya). Elsa manned the admission
desk and Dennis was at the entrance encouraging people to come and join us,
which I am happy to say they did. Pam, Belinda and Terrie were kept very busy
on the Bric a Brac stall
with a great variety of goods. And a big thank you to Baillie, who not only
manned the book stall, but also did the presentations to our guests. Our guests
being, Mrs Sally Macfadyen and Mrs Barbara Thorn, who
were absolutely delighted with their gifts, each being presented with a basket
of flowers and a beautiful picture (the pictures made especially for each guest
by Elsa).
Mary made a wonderful moving, speech which gave a great insight into
lupus both from a personal aspect and to the importance of research into lupus.
Mary then introduced both guests. Mrs Macfadyen then
said a few words and Mrs Barbara Thorn kindly did the raffle afterwards.
Everything went very well and to top it all we made over £700 (which included some very generous donations which were handed
to Mary and myself). We have since received thank you letters from both Mrs S Macfadyen and Mrs Barbara Thorn.

The children made quite an impression on us both with their knowledge of
lupus, as well as the marvellous amount they had amassed for research into
lupus. The wonderful friendly welcome we received will not be forgotten, what a
happy school! Oh to be five again and a
pupil at Kewaigue! And it doesn’t end there! They are
now helping us to support the
