A reminder about the Concert at Nunraw Abbey this Wednesday, 22 July 2015, at 6.30 pm.
A recital of Puccini and the great arias of Opera by Scottish Tenor, Martin Aelred.
There will be tea and biscuits to follow and a collection will be taken for the street children in Colombia — “Let the Children live” — suffering from extreme violence, abuse and exploitation.
In case you’ve not seen all the roadside signs, here’s a quick reminder that the Garvald Jumble Sale is this Sunday, 28th June from 12-2pm! Rolls and teas/coffees will be served. Please donate your unwanted items and come and buy some bargains to help us raise money for the Nepal earthquake appeal. Thank you.
Roz Anderson would like to thank everyone who sponsored Rhys Cowie in his obstacle course to raise money for Yester Primary Nursery. So far the total raised for the nursery is £701 with some money still to come in. Well done, Rhys!
All proceeds from the jumble sale will go to the Nepal Earthquake Appeal so please take the chance to have a declutter and donate all your unwanted jumble. Thank you!
“Garvald Greetings Cards” are available from Hazel at 6 Burnside Court. They cost £1 each, and are sold in aid of Hall Funds. There is no message inside, and they are easily adapted to use as a Christmas card for friends at a distance or for those who have Garvald connections.
Just to let you know the Jumble Sale raised £520 for the Hall after costs. Many thanks to all those who came along, and also those who helped out …
A message from Sylvia Wood:
A friend from many years ago is collecting old mobile phones. Her son is autistic and if she can collect 165 phones he will get an Ipad that has apps specifically for him to use. I’ve already collected 25 from workmates and friends. She only needs another 25 and she’s reached her target.
Do you have any old phones lying in a drawer somewhere? They don’t have to work and don’t need the charger BUT they must have the battery. Drop them off to me at me at No 2 Council Houses/New Houses (the house by the post box) within the next fortnight and I will send them on to her in Fife.
Thanks, Sylvia
Some items were left behind after the Red Cross concert and are waiting to be returned to their owners:
Please Contact Us or collect them from Anne at Honeysuckle Cottage. Thank you.
A message from Anne Raitt:
Thank you so much for all your support at our Concert on Saturday. It was wonderful to see so many of you at the show and with such support and enormous generosity from the whole community, the children of Garvald raised a fantastic total of £1,120, which will go to the Red Cross in order to help children affected by the Syrian crisis.
I’d like to thank the wonderful audience, those who gave their time to help prepare for the show and all those who donated money, wine and food. Also thanks to the parents, for entrusting me with their children, encouraging them and rehearsing with them. Most of all I want to thank the talented children of Garvald for overcoming their fears and performing in such a professional and entertaining way.
Thank you!
