ADVANCE NOTICE
I'll be launching the 2023 Advent Calendar Fundraiser on behalf of the Calis Childrens Charity in a fortnights time.
Given the financial struggle the local people are having I am looking forward to it being at least as successful as previous years.
If you can, please consider taking part.
-
Count me in as usual :)
-
7 & 21 if possible, before the rush to get the best numbers lol

Following on from my earlier post I am going to run a fundraiser which has been successful since 2013.
There are many members of this and other groups who love Calis so this is an opportunity to give a little back. If you are in a position to do so, please consider taking part. It is for what I believe to a very good cause - helping kids who have very little.
For those who are not familiar with the how the fundraiser works, you simply just have to choose a day (or days) between 1st and 25th of December.
Behind each door on the calendar is a monetary amount –this year 10 x £ 8s, 10 x £13’s, 4 x £ 18’s and 1 x £ 25.
By choosing a date(s) you agree to donate the amount behind the door. You can, of course, donate more.
I will open a door each day starting on the first to reveal the amount behind the door.
If things go as well as previous years I am hopeful that we can fill at least one other calendar and successfully run the '12 days of Christmas fundraiser.
All proceeds will go to the wonderful Calis Children’s Charity.
Many thanks.

This years fundraiser is drawing to a close.
In past years the fundraiser has benefited hugely from the support of CBF members.
If for any reason loyal supporters missed out on choosing a day(s) and want to make a contribution please get in touch and I will provide payment detains if required.
Thank you.

Advent Calendars/12 Days of Christmas 3Cs Fundraiser.
Unfortunately, and for whatever reason(s) I have been unable to collect all of the pledges so the total is not what it might have been.
That said, many, many contributors donation more than they were asked for which is fantastic .
The total this year is £ 907.00.
-
Very well done John, you are a star for doing all this year on year :) :)
-
It is people like your good self who make it a success.
If Rachel is looking down with a smile and saying well done dad that'll do me.

Advent Calendar Fundraiser Update:
I thought folks would like to know what their hard earned pennies were used for.
Donations converted to 34,400 tl.
The money was spent on a special needs school.
The school needed chairs that they could use to wash the children when they had an "accident".
The 3Cs met the parents and saw the kitchen and lounge area where the autistic children learn how to do normal every day things like eat, wash pots wash clothes etc. When the kids first come to the school they can do nothing for themselves, some cannot even go to the toilet.
So, if you were kind enough to take part, rest assure that you helped improve the lives of kids who needed it.
On their behalf THANK YOU.
-
Hi John
Thank you for your recent post regarding the Advent Calendar Fundraiser. The autistic children along with their parents and teachers must be so grateful that the fundraising has been allocated to help improve their
needs.
A big thank you also to yourself for all you do for the children in need...............it is really outstanding. :)
-
Thanks Dennis - all done in my daughters name.
-
Briliant John, well done :)
