Open Evening

Hello

I have now reached £1,600ish…… on the second Saturday in September the local church donated all the money they raised for their open door cafĂ© between me and Andrew. We ended up with about £70 each. Also when I posted my last blog I was at Work Experience at Ye Old Sun Inn at Colton for two weeks. Now I have done that I have got £50 worth of tips for the two weeks work. I also have just finished writing the letters to companies asking for donations and they went in the post this morning.

Every year the school I go to (Tadcaster Grammar) holds an open evening for the current year 6’s and year 7’s to be. This year my fundraising group decided that we would help with the open evening and did a cake stall with Guess The Name Of The Teddy and Where Is The Treasure Hidden, we managed to get £80 between us from that and also the caterers in the kitchen were giving away free samples of food and gave all the donations from that to us. We are very grateful!! That brought the total to £120ish and we think we’ve ended up with about £28 each.
Earlier this month I did a calculation and worked out that if I were to get a job that gave me roughly £100 per month, then I would only have to raise £60 each month when the Paper Round is taken into account!
