Calis Beach and Fethiye Turkey Discussion Forum

I know that 2020 has been a terrible year for everyone which is why I thought long and hard before deciding to run the appeal this year.
But charities have suffered as much (if not more) as other sectors and need help. So here goes with a fundraiser which members have kindly made a success since 2013.
By public demand, we changed the format last year and are leaving it the same this year and so this is how it is going to work.
You simply just have to choose a date between 1st and 25th of December.
Behind each door on the calendar is a monetary amount – 10 x £ 7’s, 10 x £12’s, 4 x £ 17’s and 1 x £ 25.
By choosing a number(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.
Perhaps you have saved a penny or two from cancelled holidays. Perhaps you have benefited from advice freely given and/or perhaps you have just enjoyed reading the Forum. If so, please consider taking part. It is for what I believe to a very good cause - helping kids who have very little.
PS If it goes as well as previous years we may do a second calendar or the '12 days of Christmas fundraiser.[/quote]
There is, of course, absolutely no obligation to take part.
-
As you say, needed more than ever now Highlander.
Numbers 9 and 15 for me to start with please.
-
I’ll start off with number 12 please.
It would be nice to see some new names donating to the charity in exchange for all the free advice requested on the forum
-

Following scunner kindly posting a link on facebook, numbers have been flying out the door and can you believe there are only six numbers left.....
6, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 25.
So please choose a number to avoid disappointment.
But don't worry if all the numbers go we will start another calendar or do the 12 days of Christmas fund raiser.
-
Now number 20 has been taken so those left are...
6, 17, 18, 19 and 25
-
Debbie has kindly taken number 17.
-
19 and 25 have gone.
Only 6 and 18 left.

ASTONISHING all numbers on the first calendar taken

Not been on all weekend, so please can I have any two numbers on the 2nd calendar you clearly have to do

It is swindsor although to date it is mostly regular supporters, such as your goodself who are taking part.
I am fairly sure that there are others who have received free advice/information from the Forum.

You're welcome Highlander & thank YOU for taking the time to organise these fundraisers.
Stay safe everyone & best wishes for 2021 :)

hornedfrog your final contribution gratefully received.
Many thanks for all of your donations.

So how much were you able to raise through the Advent Calendar this year John?

Stortman- I am waiting for some of the calendar money to come in and the 12 days thingies still has still 7 days to ru
I'll let everyone know as soon as all of the donations have be made.

I should also have stressed that a number of members were kind enough to take part in both the Advent Calendars and the 12 days fundraiser and are rightly waiting to make one donation which helps me also.
-
Excellent - good luck with everything.
-
ianK your generous donations across the Advent Calendars and the 12 days tundraiser safely and very gratefully received.
Many thanks for always supporting the charity. :)

You , or more accurately, the children, are welcome.
Happy New Year.

Highlander, have obviously had a very 'senior moment' over the festive period. Was absolutely convinced I had 2 numbers on first calendar and 1 on the 12 days of Christmas, so have been waiting and waiting ......
Turns out my 3rd number was on 2nd calendar : :) which I completely missed :-[
So am now sending money to cover all three.
Thank you for all your time and effort spent on helping the children.
-
marina - no problem - your extremely generous donation safely received.
Very many thanks or supporting the 3C's.
