Hello It's Grace
I have asked Stilldesperate and he has given me permission to hold a raffle at this meet. All proceeds will be for the Christmas Shoebox Appeal. If anyone would like to donate a prize for the raffle, please bring it to the meet. THANK YOU.
For anyone who does not know me - every year I try to fill 100 shoeboxes with toys and gifts for disadvantaged children in third world countries. Each box contains at least; a teddy, a bar of soap, face cloth, toothbrush, toothpaste, hat, tennis ball, car or doll, skipping rope or puzzle, a bag of sweets (but not chocolate), colouring book, pens, pencils, sharpner, rubber and two small writing pads/exercise books. By giving these children the stationery items we are also enabling them to go to school because they are not allowed to attend unless they have the tools to use.
I have already put together 75 shoeboxes so am on the last "push" so if any of you find yourselves with an excess supply of any of the above and are willing to help I will also take these from you at the meet.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Its all for a good cause

Pete
