Nottinghamshire Masonic Ladies Associate Members - Sat Morning
Many excellent popular speakers invited to our Saturday meetings have been hilarious, some nostalgic, and some leave us in awe of their inner strengths against physical adversity. Two speakers who visited us earlier in the year explained how their commitment to help sick children in the Nottinghamshire Province has aided the child’s recovery. John Bassford and Chairman, Graham Riche of ‘Teddies for Loving Care’ tirelessly raise money to buy teddy bears for children in hospital. Instead of leaving what has become a much loved little friend, the young patients keep their teddies and take them home. Our photograph shows Chairman, Aileen Wright and Vice-Chairman, Gill Hitch with Graham Riche following the presentation of a cheque to T.L.C.
