Taunton & Somerset Samaritans had two reasons to celebrate this month. At the beginning of the month committee members celebrated the 80th birthday of long standing support volunteer Amelia Bruce with a special cake, featuring her trademark collection bucket and tabard made by fellow committee member Susann Parker.
Amelia has been a support volunteer for the organisation for an impressive 24 years and is a staunch fund raiser, in addition to acting as the branch treasurer.
Later in the week, Samaritans and friends gathered once again at Moose Hall, to be put through their paces by fellow volunteer and quiz master, Linda Vijeh at their bi-monthly quiz, raising a total of £220 to help the branch provide this vital listening service.
The next quiz, which will have a special ‘Irish’ theme, will be held at Moose Hall, Castle Street, Taunton TA1 4AR, on Friday 17th March, St. Patrick’s Day. Start time is 7.30pm and all are welcome. There is no need to book in advance, and the £5 entry fee includes a sandwich supper freshly prepared by the Moose Ladies Circle.
