Senior Citizens’ Lunch Club need a new Co-ordinator
Can You Help?
Congresbury Senior Citizens’ Lunch Club has been serving lunches for the village elderly population for nearly 30 years. A group of volunteers cook and serve a two course lunch every other Thursday at the Old School Rooms for up to 40 adults.
We are in desperate need of a new co-ordinator.
In the main, this involves taking phone calls from the diners, liaising with the Bluey Bus manager (for transport to the Old School Rooms), and being at the Old School Rooms for the lunch to ensure everything is running smoothly. No cooking is involved.
If you can help in any way, please contact:
Marilyn Talbot 01934 832657
