Metropolitan Zone 1 Chairperson, Heather Perrott attended the meeting on Monday 18th November where she presented member of 26 years, Betty Keen with a certificate of appreciation for her outstanding voluntary commitment to the local community.

Ms Perrott has worked alongside Ms Keen during their years with Red Cross and thanked her for her ongoing commitments.
