EKin:  A huge thank you from EKin for your overwhelming kindness, thoughtfulness and generosity! Our premises are now full and I’d like to ask for a pause in donations at the moment. As more people are settled into accommodation, I’m sure we will use up our present supplies and ask again for items to help equip these new homes. But for now - hold fire! And thank you once again.

CLARION:  Please note that the deadline for articles for the next issue is 6 May - claremontclarion@hotmail.com.  We would appreciate some updates on the various activities that have been going on in Claremont over the past 3 months.
