SOCIAL SCENE Having fun and raising funds A total of £4,300 was raised for Naomi House and Jacksplace at the 37th annual charity event, organised by Terence Willey at the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club at Cowes. Good food, good wine and entertainment was the recipe for 82 guests who enjoyed fine entertainment from Dr. Kieron Cooney (bagpipes), Grant O’Brien (piano), Vectis Brass Band, Rebekah (belly dancer) and top of the bill Helena Mace, a professional singer from Bournemouth. Jacksplace fund-raising officer Paul Morgan, who attended the event, expr essed his gratitude to everyone for their generosity, confirming that many Island children continued to benefit from the fine work being undertaken by them. Terence Willey said: “It was once again an overwhelming response from not only those present but many other individuals and businesses locally to achieve such a wonderful result. It is touching to note that this event has now established itself on the calendar of many individuals as a very special and enjoyable occasion.” Pictures are available to buy online from our website: visitilife.com 20 www.visitilife.com
