Hi I'm Sue T, not quite a new member, but been absent for so long few will remember me!
I help to run F.I.G. and a large part of my reason for resurfacing is to keep you in touch with FIG (Fethiye International Group) activities.  For the last 5 years we have been active in Fethiye raising money for local children.  We run a charity shop in Dolgu Sahisinda and put on a few events from time to time.  So here is hoping that you will bear with me keeping you in touch with our activities from time to time.  :D
and Scunner - if I done this wrong SORRY

Welcome Sue - your organisation does really good work and seems to have stood the "test of time" - well done.

I am sure we will be going to many of the Zakuum FIG nights when we are over for 6-months in April.

FIG featured in an article in the internet version of the Hurriyet Daily news on Monday regarding one of our 'special needs' campaigns illustrates the resiliance of a Mum struggling against the odds.  She is a brilliant village lady.

I know of a group of people who organised a home baked cake stall at one of their social events and raised a substantial amount of money to help this little boy and his family. We met the family and the little boy, he is very lively. :)
Perhaps someone else can come up with some ideas to raise money to help the children who are having to face disadvantages through ill health.  :)
Perhaps a fun walk around Kaya and a meal at one of the Kaya restaurants would raise some funds.
