KINGS FOOD BANK UPDATE First of all a big THANK YOU to all those of you who have placed food items in the Food Bank box either in your church, Witherslack Community Shop or in the Crosthwaite Memorial Hall. By the time you read this I will have made two very sizeable deliveries of your donated items to the Food Bank in Kendal. So far, since it started at the beginning of March, the Food Bank has delivered 3000 meals to people in need in the Kendal area and now 15 churches are involved in collecting and donating food. Individuals or families who are in need and who are referred through one of the helping agencies, receive a box containing food for breakfast, lunch and dinner, together with tea and coffee for three days and they can receive up to four food boxes. The need is still on-going so I hope you can continue the habit of popping an item of food into your nearest box once in a while. The Food Bank still needs long life milk and fruit juice, beef or chicken pies, tinned steak or chicken in sauce, tinned fruit and vegetables but they have the world’s supply of baked beans! Also if you can donate any ‘bags for life’, which are used to deliver the food to families. Although the priority is food, the Food Bank does accept toiletries, baby food and nappies. If you cannot get out to buy food, monetary donations have been given and the money used to buy shortage items. Cheques made out to King’s Church Kendal will attract Gift Aid too. If you have any questions or want to help in any way please contact me or your ‘Box Monitor’ Cartmel Fell : Anne Ratcliffe (015395 52107) Winster: Margaret Gambie (015394 42325 ) Witherslack: Barbara Page (015395 52177) Crosthwaite: Pat Howarth (015395 68652) Thank you for all that you do. Pat Howarth Food Bank rep for The Two Valleys (015395 68652) Great North Run – Thank you! A HUGE thank you to everyone who supported me in my Great North Run. It was an amazing day, and I really enjoyed the whole thing. I completed the run in 2 hours 8 minutes and have raised £2, 718 for the British Heart Foundation. My initial target was £500, so thank you very much to all those who have helped me raise such a brilliant total in memory of my dad. I know he would have been proud. Michelle Woodcock 10
THE DEVIL’S VIOLIN COMPANY in ‘A LOVE LIKE SALT’ Helsington & Brigsteer Village Hall Saturday November 17 th at 7.30 pm 'A Love Like Salt' was commissioned by the Bodleian Library and the English Faculty at Oxford University. It features three wonderful tales that have gripped us for hundreds of years: stories full of passion and longing, drama and danger; stories of love and lust, of life and death. They also happen to be tales that inspired our two foremost storywriters - Chaucer and Shakespeare. King Lear, Franklin's Tales and the Wife of Bath's Tale are skilfully spun into stories for the present, grippingly told by one of England's most renowned storytellers, Daniel Morden, together with three fabulous musicians on violin, accordion and cello. Music makes up 50% of the evening and is woven into the stories. Love is put to the test as the audience is transported to King Arthur's Camelot, the Breton shores and the ancient Britain of King Lear. Meet a knight on a year long quest to discover what women really want and enter a world where Cinderella meets Cordelia. ‘An enchantment’ The Times Tickets Adult £9; Under-18 £4.50; Family £23. Phone 015395 68498 or 68886 This concert is sponsored by the Highlights rural touring scheme. All profits in aid of Village Hall funds. 11
