Fund Raising

Hi All,

First I must say a big THANK YOU to Mary, who did a mini marathon in her local area and raised over €100 - our first donation !!

Then Hilary, her sister and her friend did the Mini-Marathon for us and between them raised over €600.

THANKS again, Girls - we now have a bank account !

THANKS also to Charles Ryan, who designed our Sponsorship Cards and who managed to get them printed - all free. He is a true gentleman and a pleasure to do business with. Thanks Hilary and Emma (his wife) who introduced him to me.

If anybody is doing any form of fund raising in our name and requires sponsorship cards - I have them. They are suitable for any event - just let me know how many your need.

Because we now have money in the bank I intend to go ahead and order the ID cards. This was discussed at several meetings, including the open meeting in Dandelion. Most of us want some form of card for several reasons, e.g. in the event of a cataplexy attack in public. The card will explain what to do - or, more importantly, what NOT to do in this event. I envisage the cards will be slightly larger than an credit card, with name and date and I will laminate them. I will advise when they are available.

The Sub-Committee of parents who are dealing with the Pandemrix issue are making terrific progress. Interested parties will have received updates from Mary. Anybody interested in joining this group - please contact Mary.

So, it just remains for me to wish all our members a good summer - hopefully we will get the weather to enjoy it !!


Mims.
