There may not be a Calis Carnival this year but Tuesday's Chill Out Calis Beach Party at Guvens was a great substitute with a great carnival atmosphere and everyone enjoying themselves. As Anne says it was like the good old days when we used to organise the carnival, and watching the diverse entertainment was like being at one of the old carnival concerts.
Bert was simply brilliant when he did an extended set in the afternoon: then in the evening you could have heard a pin drop when Pavarotti sang Nesun Dorma, Music of the Night and the tear jerking "Time to say goodbye". The fire dancer was amazing particularly when 3C's member Graham joined in, and then songbird Shelly sang her heart out. Add to that Gordon's great music, the Turkish dancers and the great bbq and hospitality of Carole and Guven, it was great afternoon and evening and we thank everyone for their contribution or attending. We expect to have raised about 1600 TL for the children which is great, but this event, which was the 3C's contributuion to FETAV Fest Week, was more about having a great time and helping to raise the awareness of FETAV who all of the charities legally work under. Without FETAV Foundation none of the charities could operate and we thank them for their support and help.
I have lots of photos and will put these on as soon as I can.
