Bromley FoE’s September meeting – YOUR CHANCE TO HAVE FUN, PICK UP A BARGAIN – AND HELP FoE

Bromley FoE is going into the auction business! Instead of a speaker at our September group meeting we will be staging an Auction of Pledges to raise much-needed money for National FoE, currently suffering from considerably reduced income due to the recession – money they require to carry out vital campaigns at this crucial time for the future of the planet.

That means you will have an excellent chance to pick up a bargain by bidding for one of many Pledges on offer – like, perhaps, mowing your lawn, making a cake for you, having your photo taken, even housework, and many others.

To raise funds we need your help. First, can you offer a talent to be auctioned? Perhaps, sewing, gardening, tree work, car cleaning, painting, computer lessons, patio or path cleaning, ironing, baking, music tuition, create computer-printed stationery etc etc. Or do you have a contact who might donate theatre or cinema tickets, a few drinks at your local pub, a bowl of flowers, a bottle or two of wine or a shopping voucher?

These are just ideas, but be inventive! Come up with something special that you can offer!

Second, we want you to be there – and to bring friends and family. The more bids, the more the cash raised so that National FoE can continue to give us the support we need for our local campaigning. The date: Tuesday September 7. Time: 7.30pm. Place: Friends Meeting House, Ravensbourne Road, off Bromley High Street.

When you have decided what talent you can offer please contact Sheila Brown on sheilabrown336@msn.com or 01689 851 605.
