Burnham-On-Sea Moose Ladies Circle held its final meeting this week and ended on a high note with a presentation of almost £4,000 to local groups and charities.
The Burnham Moose Ladies’ Circle held the final meeting at St Andrew’s Church Hall in Burnham.
Ladies’ Circle President Sandra Nicholson said: “Sadly this was our last Burnham Moose 123 Ladies Circle meeting, but hopefully we have gone out on a high, presenting £3,950 to 11 local groups and charities.”
“It has been an honour and a privilege to have been President of the Ladies Circle for the last three years, but sadly all good things come to an end as our Ladies Circle closes after 71 years.”
The largest donation was for St Margaret’s Hospice, which was Sandra’s chosen charity for the last year.
Following the donations, all were enjoyed a finger buffet to mark the closure of the group. All members of Ladies’ Circle are also members of Moose International who will be holding their own charity presentation night on Thursday 27th March
