£££ FROM AUCTION / COMP etc.

[Marc]

Ian called into the shop today and handed me £300 in cash for the NESA/RNLI account from himself and the lads at Seimens.

I\'ll make sure this goes into the account first thing Monday morning.

A MASSIVE thankyou to Ian and his workmates.

WELL........It looks like we\'ve broken the £1,000 barrier on this

AUCTION: 325.00
COMP: 235.00 (estimated......possibly more)
IanW and the lads at Siemmens: 300.00
MikeR 15.00
Elton (AnglersNet) 100.00
Les (from the sale of the bonny PINK smock) 50.00


PROMISED TOTAL (so far)......£1,025.00


I\'ve e-mailed Michael Charlton (for those who don\'t know...Mike is the RNLIs\' Fund Raising Manager for ther N.E. Region) and told him that we\'ll have another substantial cheque for him, in the near future.

Needless to say, he was well impressed with our efforts.

This is part of the e-mail I recieved from him.......

\"Would you be interested in donating the money to the Grace Darling Appeal. we are trying to raise £150,000 for an Educational Facility as part of a redevelopment of the museum. With this we can teach children about Grace Darling, the work of the Lifeboats and about being safe at the sea. If not, let me know if you want the money to go to any particular station.\"

Now, as the annual boat comp is dedicated to raising money for a chosen N.E. Lifeboat Station and the money we make from the annual shore comp + other fund raising events is to go to the RNLIs\' central funds.......I\'ve got absolutley NO OBJECTION to the cheque we\'ll be handing over going towards the RNLIs\' Grace Darling Appeal.

Let me know how you feel about the money we\'ve raised this time being put to THAT use. Basically there\'s 2 questions:

1. Do you want the money to go to the Grace Darling Museum Appeal?

OR

2. Do you want the money to go to the RNLI\'s central funds?


PLEASE REPLY TO THESE QUESTIONS IN THE TOPIC \"£1,000+....\"
IN THE \"General\" SECTION OF THE RNLI FORUM
