Still, many people ask exactly what we are. There are often questions like, are you a religious group, or are you a political group? The answer is no; we are simply a group of local people who are committed to assisting others, to being involved in our community, and to raise funds to help others.
Our group attracts a broad range of people from different walks of life. All with one mission, to serve the community. If you have ever considered becoming a member, please come along to one of our meetings to find out more. We would love to explain exactly what we do.
