Help for Victims of Forest Fires

This contribution comes from Bob and Ev Wright:
582.01 euros has been handed over to the Rethymno Branch of the Greek Red Cross in the name of the CIC community.    We are also in negotiation with the local secretary to give them a donation from the profits of the CIC Christmas Fair in Chania.  They have just set up a Samaritan organisation to help the local victims of disasters such as fire and flood, and we may be able to help them with new equipment.
