PARKINSON’S DISEASE SOCIETY BORDERS BRANCH
NEWSLETTER
DECEMBER 2009
‘’TIZ THE SEEZON TO BE JOLLY…!’
Well here we are December again, jings that was a quick year was it not? The years seem to get quicker the older I get! Next month the group will be 10 years old, oor 10th Anniversary, and hopefully we can celebrate it next year in style.
Names are coming in for the Burns supper on Friday 22nd January… But response is really slow, remember this is a free event for the group there is no charge I realise it is early evening, but hopefully numbers will improve.
Unfortunately there is no Drop In in December so no Xmas Party but we have a meal booked for Wednesday 16th December and it will be over by the time you get this, I hope I have got round everyone the phones been well used this month I can tell you if you would have liked to come but I never got through to you I can only apologise sincerely it wasn't deliberate.
Seeing as this is our Christmas Newsletter we have a page dedicated to Christmas cracker jokes, so Tony and Norman you both have plenty of jokes for the festive season courtesy of the Hattie wan!!
Enjoy this newsletter we’ll be back in January

SCOCHA NIGHT
Recently Galashiels Rotary Club held a Scocha night to raise funds for the group. It was a very successful night, well, Greame from the Day Hospital and Jill are organising a Scocha night for the Group early next year Marchish, this will help us celebrate our 10th Anniversary. The concert will take place in Galashiels Academy, and tickets will be available from January we hope.
Those of you who attended the last Scocha night or who have seen Scocha in concert know what a guid night the lads put on.
So don't miss out tell your friends so we can help Graeme and Jill to make this event a success and reward all their hard work.
Watch out for details so you can
