Drum roll please.....
We have raised £4,845.37 for the Jumus Jungkung Jammeh Memorial Nursery & Primary School in The Gambia so far this year!!!
£1,356.94 has come from College-run events and the rest has come from the students. We suspect there is a bit more out there that has not yet been paid in, so if that is the case please see Claire Watts in the Central Admin office (Meriden building).
The latest fundraising efforts came at the recent parents evenings. Divyani, Amy and Olivia raised £100 at a parents evening last week, while Hannah, Sammy, Chris and Alex raised another £100 last night. Well done folks!
Don't forget, there are still events taking place to keep the fundraising going. On Saturday 18 October it's the Cabaret Night that Lauren's granddad is putting on with music from the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s! This will include a War Time tribute, swing, rock'n'roll and a tribute to Neil Diamond. Tickets cost just £4 and include a buffet too, and there is a bar at the venue in Sheldon Heath. For more information and tickets call Bev Bishop on 0121 704 2581.
As if that isn't enough, student Maggie Brina is holding a fundraising concert on Thursday 23 October. Taking place from 6.30 - 9.00pm in the College theatre (201), this concert is called GambiAID. Why? "We’re building this school on Rock and Roll!" Get it?!?!?! This concert will include music from students and it promises to be a great event. Tickets cost £5 and you can see Maggie or call Bev on 0121 704 2581 to get tickets.
Please support these events if you can - staging concerts takes a lot of work and Lauren and Maggie are working really hard to make them a success.
