Hi Everyone
A member, Catherine, has just come up with a marvellous idea for fund raising for PNI and put it into practise.
At her recent birthday party barn dance she asked for donations in aid of Post Natal Illness rather than presents.
She put the following on the invitation to her party/Barn Dance:
******************************************
What do you buy a girl like me?
You don’t! Only your presence is wanted.
Admission to the barn dance is strictly by donation only. I will be collecting donations in aid of post natal illness.
************************************************
and she is sending this forum in excess of £300 from what she raised and I will endeavour to put it to good use.
I am very impressed with this idea and in fact will be doing it also when I give my next party -
a sort of Avon or Ann Summers party for PNI!!
Thank you so much Catherine!
Other News:
Out management group has finally met and we have opened our bank account - which is in itself a great achievement -
At our next meeting we will look at whether we become a registered charity or not - their are points for and points against this course of action!
If anyone does live in Cornwall and can get to Redruth, Helston or Falmouth areas, for meetings you are very welcome to join our committee
In fact we really need you
All the best
