Sponsored Silence at Rosemary Mount

JuliV | | Rosemary Mount

Pam successfully held a sponsored silence on Friday 16th January 2009 and she raised £234.  Pam wanted to raise funds for the purchase of a Nintendo Wii for the home.  It was hoped that one of the large games companies would donate a Wii to the home but this was not successful.  So, Pam took it upon herself to raise the monies and the home is now able to buy a Wii for its residents to enjoy.  Thank you Pam for your all efforts and all those who kindly sponsored the event.
