Store Collection Morrisons Harwood

Morrisons Harwood, Store Collection  - Tuesday 4th March 2014

Following on from the collection on Saturday for Marie Curie, we has a chance to boost on own funds with a collection at Morrisons Harwood on Tuesday 4th March. This store is one of our favourites as the people who use it, tend to be very generous in their donations to Bolton Lions.

This was, however, the first time we had ever done our collecting on a Tuesday, generally we collect over weekends at this store. We need not have worried, as although I was not myself collecting (being at work) my son Michael and the retired Lions were there, and they confirmed that they were very busy.

One Lion who wasn't there, was Ray Stafford, who lives 2 minutes away from the store, but was absent as he was unwell, or 'swinging the lead' as his next door neighbour told us at the store!

The outcome of the day was a fantastic amount of £315.16 raised, which is higher than most other stores in Bolton raise at weekends, so thanks go most definitely to the people of the Harwood area.

Our next event in our busy March is our Canopy in Bolton on 22nd March.
