Concert to raise funds for Zimbabwe Pensioners
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008The concert last night was a great success!
With over 250 people present, the hall was full almost to capacity. I greeted everyone arriving and gave them a pamphlet explaining very briefly that proceeds would go to supporting aged Zim pensioners, and giving our contact details. Many told me they already knew about FLF.
Jean Bowen-Davies arranged the presence of a number of old ladies and gents as special guests, and one whose 90th birthday is today was congratulated from the stage by Dermod Gloster.
There were three singers, a pianist and a violinist. All are either former or current professionals, and most have Rhodesian connections.
At the end of the concert I thanked the performers and the audience for their support of FLF’s project, and this was well received.
All our Committee members gave a great deal of assistance in publicity, personal contact, and helping at the concert - including the bar arrangements we provided.
