Message for Amanda re orphanage

Amanda,

I have been reading about your work with the orphanage and was wondering if you would want some used but good ski jackets. We have a school party going out this saturday(2nd), staying in the Snezhanka. We have been associated with Katya Vanchev orphanage for years and every year raise quite a lot of money. This year as well as raising over £2500 the ski company we use to hire ski gear for the pupils have donated lots of ski jackets. Howver we have far too many for the Katya ...

I have been reading about your work with the orphanage and was wondering if you would want some used but good ski jackets.

This year as well as raising over £2500 the ski company we use to hire ski gear for the pupils have donated lots of ski jackets. Howver we have far too many for the Katya Vanchev orphanage and were wondering if you could use them for your orphanage. If so, we will take them out with us on Saturday and perhaps you could arrange for them to be collected from the Snezhanka. They are all clean and of good quality.
All the best and keep up the good work!

Hi Colleen,

thank you for your very generous offer, the ski jackets we could most certainly put to good use in this institute. Congratulations on all the hard work that you are doing. Is it possible for you to leave the jackets in a black bag with my name on it sealed, and pop it into the Murgevets hotel for my collection, i will be there between 1pm and 2pm on Sunday and can collect it? if you can be there it would be great to say hi

Not being awkward but will be busy sorting out the pupils especially as that is their first day skiing. Will you be about all next week? Hopefully we can sort something out. We will certainly bring them out with us.

Colleen,

I see you have been helping the orphanage at S.Luka. We are complete novices at this fund raising so we would appreciate any help or advice you could give us. Perhaps you could email me.

Thank you
Carole

Hi Carole,
We have been associated with the orphanage for quite a long time now. During the year we do some fund raising but it varies. We have a staff coffee morning, We enter a staff relay team in the Belfast marathon and ask the pupils to sponsor us. Some local businesses would also donate money. Our contact is a guy called Stoyan and his wife Rumi who both work in "Steves" ski school. I would trust them with my last penny.

Thanks Colleen,

Hopefully more of us will do fundraising. Pete with the skiathong, a man is shaving off his hair and beard, others raising money. I am having a coffee morning at the end of March and am organising for a couple of therapists to do mini treatments, raffle, clothes rail, bring and buy so fingers crossed we will get a bit more to add to the kitty but we still have such a long way to go to reach our target Sad

re: Message for Amanda re orphanage

Thanks Sam I would appreciate any info on this, although I think for the sake of the fund I would chance breaking the law (coming from a lady who will not even stop on a double yellow line).
