Fundraiser In July Beki Ali, photographer, will be joining a group going to Mexico for a week to help complete the building/painting of an orphanage and old peoples home being built in Ticul, near Yucatan.
Beki, "I am telling you this because I would really love some help with fundraising, either ideas that I can use to help raise funds in the next month or so, or useful contacts for donations, that kind of thing. One person saw that I was looking for help on facebook and donated a lunch for two at her eatery which was amazing and she suggested I raffle it, giving me an idea to maybe have a bizarre/craft fair type day so that is one thing im thinking of. A sponsored run (oh dear) and sponsored slim (even bigger groan) have also been suggested and I think that I probably will do both so look out for sponsorship forms coming round soon!! There is a sunday luncheon being held at Pisces in May and tickets are $100 per person so if anyone is interested in that please let me know and I will forward more details. Pisces is confirmed $100 May 25th. It is a Sunday roast buffet, shrimp, fresh fish, chicken all prepared by Pisces. Includes appetizer, main, dessert and soft drinks and wine! We are trying to get people to book tables of 4,6 and 8. Reservations start at 12:00.They will be having a silent auction at the luncheon so art donations for auction would be great- I am putting a framed photographic print in and I know Corrie Scott and other artists have also donated a piece of their work. We held a mexican dinner evening recently and raised $1200 which was brilliant, and I know that there have been other things happening but we only have 11 weeks left till we go to raise over $30,000 so there is still a lot to do. Each of us in personally aiming to raise $3500 bds or more if possible. This will go to travel and supplies to help complete the work at the orphanage".
