Ayrshire Branch Charity Fundraising Evening 18 September 2010
The Ayrshire Branch held a fundraising evening at the Park Head at the Park Hotel in Kilmarnock. The funds raised will allow members and their families to take part in day trips, visits, Christmas parties and to go to the Arran Adventure Centre for the weekend. The generousity of local businesses, families and friends was showcased: from donating gifts and money, meals and overnight stays.
The evening got underway with a warm welcome from Paul Mathison of Centrestage, an introduction and competition from Travel2Give of Kilmarnock followed by a three-course meal and fashion show supported by Slater's menswear of Ayr and the Dress Exchange in Kilmarnock, the nights entertainment was supplied by Boys2Men of Centrestage and the Kilted DJ. During the evening a raffle and auction took place, which raised £6,100!
Simon Jenkinson, the branch secretary, and his family who organised the evening would like to sincerely thank everybody who offered their help.
