"Exciting that Soul Train 2019 is arriving at the station on the 5th September its going to be a fabulous night.
Of course in addition to all the fun the main reason is to raise as much money as we can for our two charities this year Yasim Icin Yaris (Race for Life Turkey, raising money for children with cancer) and H.A.N.D.S.under - the umbrella of Animal Care Uzumlu (providing neutering for animals in Fethiye and surrounding areas).
I am helping again to put together Hampers for auction. If you or any family and friends coming out before the event, could bring something to include in the hampers that would be fab...,..as before there will be 2 UK food favourite mega hampers and if you came to Soul Train last year you will know just how ‘mega’ they are.
So anything like tea bags, coffee, digestive biscuits, corned beef, gravy granules, tins of ham, Colman's mustard, salad cream, stuffing mix etc will be gratefully received. There will also be chocolate/sweet hampers... if there is room for a little something in your bag it will be going to help very worthy causes.
Drop off points are at the following locations. Please mark/label clearly that your donation is for Soul Train, or if its not possible to drop off please message me and I will arrange collection.
Calis – Café Soul or 3C’s shop
Fethiye – The Mulberry Tree or FIG shop
Ovacik – Animal Aid Shop
Uzumlu – The ACU Pop Up Shop (Fridays)
As before there will be a Silent Auction and it would be wonderful to receive donations of wines and spirits for this too.
Thank you so much."

Just a gentle reminder to ask if you could find space in your case for anything like tea bags, coffee, digestive biscuits, corned beef, gravy granules, tins of ham, Colman's mustard, salad cream, stuffing mix etc will be gratefully received. There will also be chocolate/sweet hampers... if there is room for a little something in your bag it will be going to help very worthy causes.
Donations of wines and spirits for the silent auction would also be gratefully received.

We will bring something towards the hampers and leave at one of the Calis drop off points.

Many thanks Karennina ;)
-
Duly noted; I shall drop some things off at Cafe Soul.
-
Thanks Lindsey - that's very kind :)
-
I will bring a really nice mix of different sweets.. good luck with all you do, these venues make such a difference.
Kind regards Deborah

That's fantastic tiger - thank you. :)
I know that the organisers are still looking for items for the hampers.
And it's for such a good cause so if you could find space in your case for anything like tea bags, coffee, digestive biscuits, corned beef, gravy granules, tins of ham, Colman's mustard, salad cream, stuffing mix etc. that would be splendid. Or perhaps you could donate a bottle of spirits. :)

Cash Donations:
I am conscious that many Britains including Forum Members like to holiday in Calis in September and would have loved to attended this event and/or would have brought over some of the goodies mentioned or provide a bottle of spirits for the raffle.
Since the event is early in September that clearly is not possible for some.
However members who want to support this very worthwhile charity event can do so by making a cash donation through my paypal account (or by other means if you don't use paypal).
If you wish to contribute please pm me on here and I will give you my paypal details.
Any amount you can afford will be gratefully received and go towards helping kids who are dealing with cancer or needy animals.
Many thanks.

Will be too hot for choc, last time my 6 bars of cadbury's for my friends all got stuck together in one lump!!! which I ate lol.

It’s all for a good cause and a good night at out.
Just hope that the food served up is hot this year and
There is more than one smelly toilet operating.

Just a gentle reminder that the organisers are still looking for items for the "ex pat" hampers.
Any items will do - items from duty free that you might manage to squeeze into you hand luggage - shortbread, bags of sweets, chocolate bars, fudge etc.
All items will be gratefully received. :)
