Successful Year for RNLI Fundraisers
On Saturday 23 February 2019 Stonehaven RNLI Fundraisers held their AGM in the lifeboat station.
The President Roberta Duncan thanked everyone for their great contribution and said that the total reflects the hard work put in by everyone. During the AGM the treasurer gave an account of this years income.
The Treasurer then gave an account of this years income. During the year 2108 the RNLI volunteer fundraisers have raised an amazing £21000. This has been through the generosity of the public by supporting events that the fundraisers have held, donations given by the public and collection boxes. Stonehaven RNLI lifeboat station's collection box secretary maintains and empties the collection boxes in Stonehaven and the surrounding area, helping to raise thousands of pounds every year for the RNLI.
Last year our collection boxes raised £3010 for the RNLI in Stonehaven and we would like to thank everyone who generously donated.
The Souvenir Secretary reported that the souvenirs had raised £3000 this year which is a fantastic amount shows great support for the RNLI.
Stonehaven RNLI Fundraisers and the crew would like to thank everyone for there continued support and generosity. Without this the crew wouldn’t be able to do the job that they do.
