Editor, The Times:
I’m planning a garden party as my final fundraising event.
As I’m sure many of you are aware, I (Zoe Ovenden) am fundraising $5,000 to travel to India on a volunteer trip near the end of June, 2014, where I’ll be working on community development projects. Half of the funds I raise go directly to the charity, Free the Children.
I’m currently nearing the end of my fundraising. So far I’ve raised $4,160.
I’d like to pass on my thanks to the community. I couldn’t have asked for a more supportive, helpful group of people. Throughout my fundraisers and events you’ve not only supported me but encouraged me.
To raise the last bit of money I’ll be holding one last event. Summer is on its way and to celebrate I’ll be holding a garden party at my house on the evening of Sunday, June 1. With scrumptious food, beautiful scenery and entertaining games it will be an enjoyable, fun time for the whole family.
If you’re interested in coming give me a call at 674-2562 to book your tickets. Tickets will be $15 for adults and $10 for kids. I hope to see you there!
