Re: Macmillan’s Cancer Support
The day we prepared for is over, and it never seemed that busy ... more a steady trickle than a deluge. Quite a few takers for coffee and some very scrummy cakes, and slightly fewer for the buffet lunch. Raffle tickets were sold and a draw held. But, and this surprised and delighted us, we had collected over €800,00.
And the money continued to come in after the event was over. One anonymous gentleman came in and offered €100,00 for the boat trip (donated by Latchi Watersports), which was accepted. He then handed the prize back and suggested it was auctioned at Monday night’s quiz and bingo night.
With support from local businesses, prizes from the local community, promotion from Rock FM (after a simple email asking whether we might have a mention) and the support of many British expats in Argaka and Polis, we were both exhausted and delighted. Of course without the help and generosity of Gary and Ann at the Turtle Tavern none of this would have been possible.
