Coolest of cool!
Oct. 3rd, 2005 01:46 pmOne of my stunning, wonderful volunteers has been invited for tea at Buckingham Palace! There's some kind of event being staged to recognise the contribution of volunteers, and Cyril has been invited.
Bless his heart, Cyril is 78 years old and runs a large project with over 100 volunteers (all aged 50+) helping to raise literacy standards by listening to children read in local schools - providing that one-on-one attention that a single class teacher just can't provide. He is such a star - very set in his ways, a bit of a fusspot, and something of a chatterbox, granted - but he has a heart of gold and I love him to bits. I'm so, so pleased for him.
Congratulations, Cyril!
