Hi Everyone,
It’s Friday again?
Where do the weeks go? We’ll be rolling out the red carpet at the Forum before you know it for the 2015 Love Barrow Awards. Nominations are still coming in and you’ve got until the 9th November to get your submissions in, it’s really easy, just click that NOMINATIONS link at the top of this page for instructions – you can complete everything online form this website and it’s really easy.
We’ll start the day with news of our latest Carer of the Year nomination – Kath Woodend.
When you think of “Carer”, you immediately think of the frail, ill, disabled and other needy people that are cared for on a daily basis by volunteers throughout our community. This one’s a little bit different -Kath is an animal lover and her caring work is all dedicated to our four legged friends.
For over 20 years Kath has fostered and cared for many cats and kittens – She at one point had every room in the house including the bathroom occupied by either pregnant cats or mum and kittens, she has hand reared kittens single handed with no help and still goes round with a smile on her face, everyone knows her as the “kitten lady”.
The nomination form is full of praise for Kath and her work –
“Kath is the most loving and gentle woman I have ever met, she gives her love and attention to all animals not just the cats and kittens she cares for, she will help anyone in need and does it with a smile on her face at all times despite her age of 74 and her health problems”
Congratulations Kath on your nomination.
