Handbag
of Harmonies Helps Rotary Club of Nantwich Raise £1000
Pink
feather boas and assorted handbags take to the stage at the Nantwich Civic Hall
to raise funds for Nepal earthquake victims
On Friday, February 12, 2016 an elegant spectacle
took to the stage at the Nantwich Civic Hall. 40 members of the Handbag of
Harmonies ladies choir, adorned with bright pink feather boas and
multi-coloured, glittering handbags, sang their hearts out to help raise funds
for the thirty thousand people affected by the Nepal earthquake last year.
Their repertoire covered a multitude of musical genres and the audience of
nearly 150 was entertained with songs from The Sound of Music to Coldplay and
Adele.
Over
£1,000 was raised for this specific project, which is being run by The Rotary
Club of Nantwich in conjunction with the Rotary Club of Himalayan Ghurkas. All
of the money raised will go directly towards rebuilding the drinking water
source in Aruchaur, Nepal damaged by the devastating earthquake, which
tragically took some 9,000 lives and left many thousands of people in dire
straits; many without essential drinking water.
Said
President Rod Stokes: “We are proud of our close association with the Rotary
Club of the Himalayan Ghurkhas and are delighted that the evening was such a
success. With the money raised on this one evening, we are already one third of
the way toward the total needed to rebuild their earthquake-damaged water
source. The ladies from the choir thoroughly enjoyed their visit to Nantwich
and have said they would love to return as we were such a receptive and
appreciative audience!”
