Fundraising
Sincere thanks to Kate Hunter of Waitrose of Andover branch for nominating Andover VIPs in the Waitrose Community Fund Award. Andover VIPs were presented with a cheque for £300 which will be used for computer equipments. Thanks to Waitrose and their staff for starting this new venture in helping the local charities.
County Councillors Awards
We are very grateful to County Councillors Pat West and David Kirk for their generous donations towards funding for Line Dancing, Craft, new tables for our office and railings for the office hallway. Thanks to Councillor Pam Mutton, our Chairperson for all her donations and contributions to club activities.
Regular Donation
We are in desperate need of funding to take a group of our members to a well earned break to Teignmouth in April 2009. They will be staying at a specially adapted hotel for the visually impaired. If you can help us, please contact Premila Hodge the Fundraising Officer or Janet Mason the co-ordinator on Andover 01264 323335 or e-mail coord_andovervips@yahoo.co.uk
We welcome good quality bric-a-brac, small books, CDs and DVDs for our regular market and Rendezvous in Union Street sales in Andover.
