An early Christmas in October?

 
 
 
Members of the Rotary Club of Alfriston, Auckland,  members spent 2 hours packaging 110 New World bags with products that were donated by generous businesses which gave a variety of goods for each bag.  These ranged from tinned food, chocolates ,bottled water, bread, teabags and many more goodies. 
 
 
On Saturday 6th October Members and the Pensioner Flat Manager for the council distributed these bags to the residents.  We were greeted with delight and many said it was an early Christmas for them.  All said how appreciative they were of this gesture by the Rotary Club of Alfriston and for some this was a welcome treat in hard times.
