Chairman’s Charities
The Chairman of Carmarthenshire County Council has raised almost £9,000 for his chosen charities so far.
Cllr Ivor Jackson picked Macmillan Cancer Support, the Alzheimer’s Society and Plant Dewi, which works with children and their families in the Diocese of St David’s, as his charities for his year in office.
To date the Chairman has raised £8,918 from a number of events including taking part in the Walrus Dip at Cefn Sidan on New Year’s Day which raised nearly £2,000 from sponsorship.
Cllr Jackson is holding a Curry Night in the Masala restaurant in Llanelli on Wednesday March 28. Tickets are £11 a head for an all you can eat buffet.
Then on Saturday April 28 there will be a Charity Concert at Ysgol Pantycelyn in Llandovery featuring Llandovery Male Voice Choir with Gwawr Edwards and Aled Wynne Davies. The president for the evening will be Tom Lloyd OBE.
The concert starts at 7pm and tickets are £10 or pay on the door.
Anyone interested in going to either event can contact Eira Evans on 01267 224060.
