Bishop's Box
Lunch OR Women's Sharing Luncheon
Bishop's Box Lunch: (combined luncheon
for ALL attending Council)
This
box lunch will be served in the auditorium followed with a
presentation by Baroness Caroline Cox.
As we
deny ourselves the traditional seated luncheon at the Crowne Plaza,
the excess profits from the sale of these box lunches will go to
help others who have so much less than we.
Living simply so
someone can simply live.
Note: Baroness Cox will also address the Council during the Thursday afternoon session. Learn more about her work and the Humanitarian Aid Relief Trust she established by visiting http://www.hart-uk.org.
