Fairby Grange

Waitrose

First we would like to say a big thank Waitrose in Longfield.  They have supported Fairby well over the last few years by supplying our cakes for the Garden Parties in the summer.  They also run a community charity where you collect a green disc when you do your shopping and they have three local good causes a month that you can put your disc to.  Fairby was there back in the summer and Waitrose gave us a cheque for £130 for the residents fund.

Help for Heroes

Thanks to everybody who attended the meeting for Help for Heroes.  We had a lovely evening discussing different ways of raising money.

We decided on a garden tea party on the 21st May 2011, so everybody put it in your diaries.

Two members of staff, Nina & Kyveli, said they would do a sponsored walk from Dartford to Fairby.  If anybody else would like to join them they are very welcome.

Also, one of our very fit residents, Joy, aged 78, and our very young at heart carer, Gladys, aged 87, said that they would do a sponsored walk but not from Dartford!!  We decided on a walk around a football field and Milestone School in New Ash Green has kindly agreed for us to use their field.

We are getting in touch with the Army barracks at Canterbury to see if a few soldiers could attend.  So come on girls there will be good looking men in uniforms.

Mentioning no names I have already heard that one member of staff goes weak at the knees at the sight of men in uniforms.  Can anyone Guess who?

Peter will be having a memorabilia stall where all things military will be on display.  Peter is going to display his and his fathers medals that he is very proud of.  I know Gladys has some RAF memorabilia from her husband Les so if anyone else has anything of interest please let us know.  We will take good care of them as we know they are precious to you.

Greg has kindly donated the tea, coffees for the event but we need some volunteers to bake some cakes for us.

Please let Janet or Christine Brent know if you are willing to volunteer.

Matinee Choir

We are being entertained by the Matinee Choir singing all your favorite songs on Monday 21st February 2011 at 2pm in the lounge.

Milly Day

Those of us that attended Millys short funeral service at Fairby found it very emotional and moving.  Milly and her family were well loved and we all miss Millys smile and her willingness to join in with everything.  We would also like to thank Millys family for their donation to our Residents Fund.

God Bless You Milly
