CHARITY LUNCH - MONDAY 23 APRIL 2012

We had blue sky this morning for our walk before we returned to Ingeborg's house to enjoy our annual charity lunch.  Very lucky these days!!

Christa and Paulette led us over open fields to the old windmill and as you can see from the photos everyone was in good spirits. 

Before we started lunch Paulette gave a short speech thanking everyone for giving so generously and she informed us that the walkers had raised over 800 euros for the chosen charity.  Anke, our President and Loeky, our Social Events organizer, also said a few words before Ingeborg was presented with a beautiful bouquet of flowers to say a special thank you from us for her hospitality and all her hard work.  Bravo!!

Now on to the serious stuff of the day, the lunch.  What a spread!! We had everything from Belgian "champagne" for the aperitif to spicy samosas, salads and salmon to fabulous desserts. Well done us!!!  Everyone enjoyed themselves immensely and it was difficult to drag ourselves away!!
