You Want Events? You Want to Raise Money? You Want to Create a Community?

We press on with the planning of the April Tea Party--Melanie and I hand delivered an "ask" letter to the local Tesco Manager, Geoff.  We were very grateful for a positive and welcoming reception to our request--of course he had not read the letter--so maybe the breadth of the ask will knock him over.  I am hopeful!

After the morning Tea Party Planning meeting I did all the Tasks the meeting generated.  Each parent should be getting a hard-copy of the invitation with the pay structure for the event.  We worked on the flyer.  I'll contact a staff member to ask if any of her students have a bit of art they would like to share for placement on our posters.

This afternoon we had another meeting with EveryNation Church of London.  We are collaborating with them for the Summer Fair.  It looks like we have our budgets--meager as they are--in place.  Now we are going to cost everything out.  And see just how far apart the two are.

We do have some things booked for the event--the mounted police will be there.  We have a strawberries & cream stand, a frame-for-sale stand and some tentative YES responses from local artisans to book one of our vendor stalls.

We need a sponsor to donate sausages for the food, and a couple sponsors to cover the lemonade stands, candy floss stand and we can move on!
