BERWICK Brae Retirement Village residents raised $2000 for charity at their annual Christmas Fete on Saturday 21 November.
The Berwick Brae Christmas Fete, organised by the village’s social and crafts clubs attracted 200 guests, who were treated to stalls selling handmade birthday and Christmas cards, trash and treasure and Christmas decorations and gifts.
