How Did We Do That?

It was the beginning of December and I decided to clean out my ‘messy corner’.  With large black garbage bag in hand, I dug deeply into the dark corner.

Out they came – big bags, little bags, fat ones and skinny ones, full ones and half empty ones – all unceremonially emptied into the black garbage bag.  Finally no bags left and a garbage bag almost full to overflowing. 

What am I on about??  The Ring Pulls, that’s what!

Yes, can you believe that in the 6 months PILC have been collecting the ring pulls from their cans, I had gathered such a huge collection?!!!!!

So, staggering under the weight of the bag, I high-tailed it down to the Queen Vic to deliver our collection.  The look of delight on Malcolm’s face when he realised what was inside was a treat to behold.  He asked me to pass on Dr. Therdchai’s grateful thanks and assured me that they will be put to very good use.

The ring pulls are used to make artificial limbs for poor amputees, regardless of nationality or religion.  Thailand has 40,000 patients with missing legs, with numbers rapidly rising.  So, ladies, carry on drinking, pulling and donating the tabs, which I will continue to collect at the PILC Coffee and Lunch mornings.

Cheers,  Lynne Richards
