Bene Grazie!
ENKCA’s latest fund raising event, an Italian meal for 80, held in Kirriemuir Old Parish Church hall was a tremendous success and a great credit to Gill Elder who organised and delivered the event, ably and calmly assembling and directing a large team of very willing and able assistants with the confidence and aplomb of a professional caterer.
The meal was generously sponsored by local businesses and great thanks are due to all who donated food and accessories for the table, prizes for the raffle and for a generous donation to cover the rent of the hall.
