Chapel Jerusalem There will be no services for the month of January due to the current crisis. The Rotary Club of Pembrey and Burry Port is collecting postage stamps in aid of The
Bone Cancer Research Trust. There is a collection box in the Ashburnham Hotel where the club meets each Tuesday evening. To help, please just cut around the stamps from the envelopes of Christmas cards received, leaving a small border of about one centimetre/half an inch and put them into the collection box when they can. The club will be sending the stamps collected to the charity in late January 2022. They will be pleased to receive foreign stamps as well as those from the UK.
