A sincere THANK YOU for making the Macmillan Coffee Morning

such a success. THANK YOU to all who donated and baked, contributed

or worked very hard in ensuring that the event ran smoothly. The event was successful, because in whatever you did or however you contributed

or supported, you were truly AMAZING as the total raised for this

worthwhile cause was £305! At St Columba's there most certainly is a fantastic community spirit and especially in helping others.

Once again THANK YOU!!!
