Carols on the Green
WE ENJOYED a Christmas celebration “Carols on the Green” event at the Glenfield Millennium Green, jointly arranged by the u3a committee and the Millennium Green Trustees.
is Monday 17th January. Read about it on page 21.
It was a great community event with music by flautists Helen and Jane from the Leicester Bardi Orchestra, plus Glenfield Ladies Cooperative Choir members to help lead the singing. Hot mulled fruit juice and mince pies warmed us on a chilly starlit night and to top it all Santa arrived on his sleigh to the delight of Children young and old! A collection for Menphys was held and raised just over £100. If you are interested in joining Glenfield u3a, which is targeted at keeping people active in their third age after finishing full time work, more information can be found on their web site by Googling Glenfield u3a. You can also find out more about the Millennium Green in the same way.
Age Concern Glenfield needs your help
BREW MONDAY
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL GAZETTE READERS!
New Year Rainbow
LIKE MANY small charities and volunteer groups, we at Age Concern Glenfield could do with a little help. We are still managing to keep going although many of the small local groups have folded, through a lack of volunteers. We really need an influx of new, younger blood to raise our morale and keep things going, as the present Trustees battle with advancing years. It doesn’t require a lot of time but it does help to provide a meeting place, our Drop In and the opportunities to take an organised coach trip. If you could spare a little time to help please come to our next meeting on Monday 7th February 2022 at Park House,Stamford Street, Glenfield at 2pm. If you would like to have a chat beforehand give me a call on 0116 299 1868
