From Gill Ross:
Christmas Raffle
A belated thanks to everyone who gave so generously towards the two lovely hampers, which we raffled at Christmas, in aid of Hall funds.
We raised £85 on the raffle, and another £100 on the 'Pick a Square for the Christmas Cake' - the cake was donated by Michelle Stevenson, of Kinlochewe (Thanks, Michelle!)
The lucky winers were:
Hamper 1: Margaret Downs, Achnasheen
Hamper 2: Shona Allison (late of Letterewe Estate)
Christmas Cake: Joyce Walker, Inverness
Bric-a-Brac Fair
Thanks to everybody who contributed to our sale on Saturday 10th April, at the Ledgowan Lodge Hotel. We all had a really good time, thankfully I had two very capable young assistants to help me on the stall, Andrew and Rebecca Lamb, who made some very worthwhile sales.
We made a very tidy sum of £80 which will go towards new tables for Achnasheen Village Hall. Look out for more fundraising events, and please, if there is anyone who is interested in helping to raise money for our village hall, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Carbootie
On Saturday 1st May we held a Carbootie in Achnasheen Hall. This was the first of many that we have in mind for this Summer, to enable anyone to raise money for themselves, or a favourite charity. It proved to be a very successful day for those who had a stall, and the many who came to grab a bargain!
Achnasheen Hall benefited to the tune of £70 which will go towards a new Microwave Oven.
Our next Carbootie is planned for the 5th June, so if anyone needs to de-clutter and raise a bit of extra cash for whatever cause, and goodness knows that’s probably most of us, please come along and bag yourself a table and have some fun! Contact me at the Post Office for details.
