Dear All,
A Message from Santa
It has been my pleasure for many years to accompany my friends from Brookmans Park Rotary Club with my
sleigh as they come around the village to collect money to support good causes.
This year I hope to be able to send you some much needed cheer as we come around the streets but
regre ably I will not be able to knock on your doors nor meet you personally due to my need to stay healthy for
my task on Christmas Eve.
The good people of Brookmans Park Rotary Club have helped local food banks and
Refuges this year and are suppor ng children’s chari es, including Great Ormond
Street Hospital and Noah’s Ark Hospice which do such invaluable work for sick children.
Please help them if you can by making a small dona on using either the Text to Donate
op on or scan the QR code to visit our Virgin Money Giving Page.
As a thank you from my Elves they hope that you enjoy their Christmas quiz. Please
feel free to copy it to your friends and family. You are invited to submit your completed
quiz with a dona on for the opportunity to win one of three cash prizes.
May I wish you all a Happy Christmas and a Healthy Covid Free New Year.
