My friend Nathalie has come up with a great idea for raising more
sponsorship money. On the fund raising night she suggests we should hold a 'Promise Auction'.
A promise auction involves getting people to make a promise and then the highest bidder wins the promise. Nathalie has kindly promised on behalf of her husband (sorry Carl if you do not know about it yet!) for him to do half a days worth of plumbing/plastering, so if you require anything of this nature doing then please place your bids by sending me a pledge by email or giving a secret bid on the night of the fund raising evening.
I am looking for around another 6 - 12 promises, so if anyone is prepared to offer their services then please get in touch. To back Carl up I will also give a promise. I promise to be a taxi to the highest bidder. For example, if you fancy a night out and don't want to drive, or going on holiday and need a lift to and from the airport, then I will take you. If your venue is local (inside 15 mile radius), I will even pay for the petrol!
Thank you also to Nathalie for helping me in getting in touch with local businesses (and some not so local!) to try and get them to donate raffle and quiz prizes for the fund raising night. Look out for further posts on the response from these businesses.
94 tickets have now been requested for the fund raising evening so if you still want to go and have not yet been in touch, please hurry as there are not many left.
