Introducing our 2012 Project - Bozalan School

Any K Glenn, I suppose lower case if I have to choose

Just a thought

On 18 March 2010 scunner posted a topic entitled "Dolphinarium plans create major protest" which ran for 197 pages. To date it has been read 145, 713 times and has attracted 1968 replies and we all know the wonderfully successful outcome.

If the CBF community, for that is what it is to me, can help two mammals who couldn't help themselves, surely we can do the same for a small number of children.

PS hefty fine expected

Please note the crossing off has started. So far (and it is complicated tying up payments to members and what they are for!) I have crossed off all those donations that were made for specific items on the list. Later I will have fun allocating the donations that didn't specify items - and there's a few.

If your donation/item isn't showing it is because I am still wrking on things - if you fear I may have missed you, don't feel bad about dropping me a line to say so!

I must say we really are cooking on gas now and the donations are so far very impressive. On behalf of CBF, 3Cs and Bozalan School I thank you so much...

scunner, I work for a discount company and would be able to purchase stationary items at a good price (probably cost + vat if my boss allows it) if i were to bring them over in april where can i arrange to leave them?.

Hi Karen, that sounds like a great idea to me but I'll wait for the 3C charity folk to reply as they know what is needed. Thanks for the offer.

[Scunner]

Another batch of updates to the list - coming thick and fast throughout today, thank you all.

Quick message to Bridget - thanks for the email, I will contact you tomorrow with details. Mainly because (to use a Mrs Scunner/Northern Irish phrase) my eyes are going together with this today

Hi Karen, any stationary items for the children can be left at the 3C's charity shop at the Eyna restaurant in Calis on Mondays and Fridays between 11.00  and 2.00 or you can leave things with Erhan and Nalan at the Eyna restaurant when the shop is closed.  Or if you let us know when you are coming we can arrange for one of the committee to meet up with you.

The type of things that the children need are the basics like pencils, coloured pencils, coloured felt pens, rubbers, pencil cases, drawing paper and exercise books both lined and squared.

Thank you to everyone for supporting CBF's project to help Bozalan School.

I am going to bring some stationary items with me next visit, writing pencils, coloured pencils, rubbers sharpeners ect shouldn't be a problem i will see what is the best value tomorrow.
I will do this as my own donation.
I am going to approch the lovely customer service at monarch to see if they will allow any extra weight allowance for this cause, as this is where i am going to struggle.

keith just let me know if i can help with other supplies if and when you know whats needed.

That's a lovely thought Karen, but I would make sure you ask the question before the day arrives......good luck.....

That is very kind of you Karen. However like June says please check this out with the airline first as you may well have problems. We officially wrote to all of the airlines, including Monarch, last year to see if as a bonafide charity the 3C's committee members could have a charity luggage allowance and the only airline that agreed to this was Thomas Cook. It seems that most of the airlines have their own charitable cause thet they support and do not extend this to others. Anyhow best of luck  and we hope that you have better luck than we did.
