London Air Ambulance – Update

Please see the email and letter below in response to a donation made on behalf of Dalhousie And Call Sign Lodge No. 865, The response just goes to show the work going on in the background by the secretary Ian Clabon, Treasurer Garo Malozian and Charity Steward Thurstan Davies. A job well done

Good afternoon Mr Clabon, Please find attached a thank you letter from us for your most recent donation. We are so appreciative of your ongoing support and especially so at this time. With the current climate we are finding it hard to send out physical thank you letters so we hope you accept this as an alternative. However, if you would like a physical copy of the letter then please do let me know and I will do my best to send one out to you. Please show this to all the other members of the Dalhousie and Call Sign Lodge number 865 and pass on our message of thanks. Best wishes, Lisa
