I WRITE on behalf of the Rotary Club of St Helens to express our sincere gratitude to the management of Morrisons Supermarkets and Marks & Spencer PLC for giving us the opportunity to collect and bag pack to raise money for our local charities.

Once again the public response has been overwhelming and their generosity never fails to amaze us. This generosity enabled us to raise the magnificent sum of £2,887 which will be distributed to local charities as soon as possible.

Many thanks and best wishes to all for a happy 2005.

PRESIDENT Colin Ince and Members of St Helens Rotary Club.
