Donation from Allen & Clarke to Oxfam

Happy New Year everyone.

In our 2008 Christmas newsletter we advised that we would be making a donation to a charity or overseas development programme in lieu of sending out Christmas cards.  We asked people to make suggestions for agencies that would be deserving of the funds.

Thank you to those who made suggestions.  After consideration we have decided to donate $700 to Oxfam, with a request that the funds be directed to a programme in the Pacific where we do much of our overseas development work.  There were a number of very deserving charities recommended but we thought this was the best fit for us.
