Funding
‘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. Lockthorn 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.
Entrance fee £2.00
