Charity Promises Auction date announced
« on: February 13, 2013, 19:15:52 PM »
I know it is still a long way off but the 3C's would like to announce that this year's annual Charity Promises Auction will take place on Wednesday 29 May.

The Charity Auction is the Calis Children's Charity's biggest fundraiser of our fundraising year and every lira goes towards helping children and funding childrens projects in the local Calis/Fethiye area.
Last years auction raised a record 15,000TL.

As you can imagine,  if you have attended one of our auctions previously,  the event takes an enormous amount of organisation,  so the earlier we start the better.  If anyone wishes to pledge a "promise" it is never too early to do so and we at the 3C's (and of course the children who benefit) would be very pleased to receive these.

Please make a note of the date in your diary. Hopefully loads of you will be out on holiday then as it is half term in UK. 

Full details will be announced nearer the time. Thank you   :)
