‘Awards for All’       

In the last newsletter we just managed to squeeze in the news about the lottery grant we had just received.

After we had been refused funding from the council Denis Turner (chairperson)

 applied to the lottery ‘Awards for all’ It was fantastic news when we received the letter saying we had been awarded £4,450.

This money is specifically  for the newsletter -:

 

A laptop computer

Printer

Printing costs and postage

 

Prior to this we had held an emergency committee meeting;  one issue was regarding fundraising. This causes us a huge problem as none of us are well enough to be doing it in the first place and we get very little practical support.  Because we have to be seen to be raising some of our own funds  a decision was made that we would continue with the gift day in October only. 

 

                              AGM and Afternoon Tea

          Wednesday 29th August 2007.  Lochthorn Library. Dumfries

                                             2.15 pm—4.00pm

 

       The AGM will take place at 2.15 pm and everybody is welcome to attend.

 

 We are hoping Dr Purdie and Dr Carla Maclaren will be present for the tea, this is  very informal and  relaxed.  Do feel free to drop in at anytime.  

The AGM is usually quite short, we envisage the  afternoon tea to take place at about 2.30pm approximately.

 

 Books and information will be available including items from the

 International Conference on ME/CFS Biomedical Research

         All money raised at this event will be donated to ME Research UK

 

Orders and Payment for the ’New Horizons’  DVD’s mentioned at the bottom of page 11  can be made on this day and we will have a copy sent to you.

Rebecca Marshall’s presentation on ‘Pain experience in ME/CFS’  will no doubt

be of special interest to those of you who took part.

                                        Look forward to seeing you.
