Fundraising meeting Saturday October 13th

Hi All


I would like to invite you to an initial fundraising meeting at the Workshop on Saturday October 13th between 11-1pm.
Sadie Hayes, who works on our New Life project has kindly funded herself to take part in a 30 hour 100 mile endurance race in the Moab desert in Utah in March 2013. That’s 4 marathons in a single day!

Please have a look at the following link that will give you more details on what she has registered for.

The Workshop would like to use this amazing opportunity to raise some much needed funds for the organisation. So we are initially looking to you for fundraising and publicity ideas, plus volunteers to take these ideas forward
The meeting will take place in the studio so you are welcome to bring your children. There will be tea/coffee/squash and biscuits available.
Can you please pass this message on to anyone you think would be interested in coming and helping the Women’s Workshop
