Sing into Christmas is a popular annual event, held on a sad note last year because it was the last o cial event for the County President to attend in her capacity. Sylvia Warne has served as County President for over 21 years. Her knowledge and wisdom has been greatly appreciated by the County Chairs during this time and all members were saddened to learn of her resignation. She was presented with a Parker pen to support her love of writing letters and we look forward to receiving one from her. Also a Garden voucher and of course a bouquet of Red and Yellow Roses.
