Tonight’s surprise performer:
Sounds Like Fun Choir
Day 5 of our Advent Calendar, raising money for Parkinson’s Disease, was held in Christchurch Library. We were made so welcome by the library team and volunteers. The venue was superb and they kindly provided refreshments, tea, coffee, mince pies and chocolate biscuits!
Jane Lewis and her fabulous choir “Sounds Like Fun” lived up to their name. The music was joyful, festive and fun with a rich variety of compositions from Joy to the World to a jazzy Jingle Bells.
The raffle prizes were kindly donated by Nusara Thai, Pizza Baracca and Stewart’s Garden Centre.
Watch the choir singing ‘Joy to the World’:
The cheque for £500 was presented to Jim Oates by Rotary President Peter Boardman.
