Bridging the gap to make fundraising fun
On Tuesday we held a fabulous bridge afternoon - to ring the changes with our fundraising! The event was exceedingly well supported by friends and 'members' of Friends of Dagoretti Children and with nine tables of competitive (and some not so competitive!) card players and a raffle, we managed to raise just over Ksh 80,000 - which was wonderful! It was also the perfect opportunity to launch our new range of aprons, notelets and bridge pads for sale - which all went down a storm! We are also so grateful to the Murray family for donating their beautiful roses for sale and to Hemingways for donating dinner for two as a prize. Many, many thanks to all those who played, and/or contributed the most delicious cakes, sandwiches and biscuits - some of which, were even themed - a kind and creative thought, Denise!
Last but not least - very special thanks to Linda for coordinating all the bridge players and to Charlie for hosting the afternoon at her beautiful home.
The photos say it all:
Well done to all those who won a prize and "better luck next time" to those of you who missed out! We will definitely be doing this again!
