Diana Whybrew, a member of Guise & Dolls group, affiliated to Let's Face It

" I consider myself lucky"

" I can't begin to describe the depths of despair you sink to," says Diana Whybrew, above.

Diana is a very special member of Let's Face It.  On Saturday November 4th 2006 Diana allowed the Guardian newspaper to tell her story and print the above photograph, without wearing an eye pad, which is a very, very brave thing to do and we in Let's Face It are very proud of Diana indeed.

If you would like to make contact with Diana, you can do so by getting in touch with Let's Face It, either by telephone: 01843 833724, email: chrisletsfaceit@aol.com or letter addressed to Diana Whybrew, c/o Let's Face It, 72 Victoria avenue, Westgate on Sea, Kent CT8 8BH.

Let's face it GARDEN PARTY 2007!

On Saturday 1st September we held our Annual Garden Party at Christine's home in Westgate.

The weather was glorious - bright sunshine, no wind and lots of fun!!!

We did not have as many LFI friends as normal, but it has been a difficult year for some of our friends and understandably travelling down to Kent has not been an option for them, but our thoughts were with all absent friends on the day.

A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to everybody who came and supported us.  For those that donated raffle prizes.  We received wonderful bouquets of flowers, the house looks wonderful...! 

 Many, many thanks to all who could not be with us but sent donations.

THE RAFFLE AND TOMBOLA RAISED A WONDERFUL £167.28!

PLUS...

 

                                                                        

Sandra, pictured above is an old friend to Let's Face It and decided to give up smoking two month's ago, and managed to get herself sponsored by friends and family.  Sandra achieved her goal, and in doing so managed to raise £165.00 for Let's Face It.  The Garden Party was made extra special by Sandra travelling all the way from Liverpool to present the cheque to Christine.  A very big thank you Sandra...!!!
