It is a thoroughly welldeserved recognition of Elaine’s dedication to Jalon Valley Help, of which she is the President.

Our President, Bob Welham, took the opportunity at the start of our first general assembly of 2019 to allow the U3A Vall del Pop members to give the wholehearted congratulations to, our fellow member, Elaine Horton on her New Year ‘s Honour award of an MBE. It is a thoroughly welldeserved recognition of Elaine’s dedication to Jalon Valley Help, of which she is the President.

Elaine was very gracious in her address to the assembly and whilst being immensely proud to have been honoured, in recognition of her service to the community, British and other nationalities, in the Jalon Valley, she felt the award was not just to her but to all the many helpers who give of their time in the help of others. She will be delighted to go to the Palace, (Buckingham not Benidorm), to receive her award.

Whilst they say, “behind every good woman there is an even better [my embellishment] man”, and Richard deserves also recognition with the JVH Team in Elaine’s “My B····· Effort” award, or as she puts it “My-Team’s B····· Effort”.

Ever the gracious lady, well-deserved congratulation Elaine from all the VdP U3A members.

In addition, we were very happy to present Cancer Care with a donation of 120€ raised at the Christmas Party at Casa Lili. Dianne Obertelli represented the charity and was delighted to accept the donation.
