The Rotary Club of Livingston held its annual charity dinner recently, where the main focus of the evening was to disburse the money collected by its Rudolph Project and ASDA Christmas Collections.
Special guest for the evening was Moira Niven MBE, Lord Lieutenant of West Lothian, who handed over the cheques.
At the start of the evening, a group of pupils and their teacher from St Kentigern’s Academy in Blackburn who had raised money for the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation (MND) had their cheque accepted by Finlay Calder.
A rendition of Gaelic songs was provided by Lucy and Holly Smith.
