June 30th 2008.
On Monday 30th June at 7.30 pm The Charity Club 30 of its supporters and of course our Bertram met at the Jometien Boathouse to share a meal, drink catch up on things, and of course celebrate our 4th Birthday!
After the meal we were entertained by the ALL NEW ELVIS….Arthur!
Usually on the Club’s birthday, we don’t have a raffle or an auction, but this year Eileen and Tom approached the club and told them about the school project they have running to re-build a school in Yasathorn. We had four un-claimed prizes from the Gala Dinner, so we gave them to Eileen to auction and said all the money raised that night she could have as a donation from the Charity Club.
The amount raised was 30,500 baht!
It was a good job that Ib was in Denmark as the Boathouse was pretty packed……. until Eileen got up and managed to clear the boathouse within a couple of minutes by uttering those magic words……
We’re coming round the tables for donations!
