First Money Transfer

I am very happy to announce that the first transfer of funds from our fundraising efforts has been telegraphed this morning - an amount of $2630.00.

I will try and get the story from the Armidale Express put here on the blog as soon as possible.

I also had a bit of a chat with J. Morrow, Armidale's Spruiker on Community Radio yesterday. He had a full schedule prior to my speaking with him and he was very kind to sqeeze us in - and he gave us a nice amount of time to explain what we were doing.

I rang The Chronicle yesterday in Toowoomba and they were keen to help pass on the word that we are raising funds for the Klinik Kerabat Kota and helpers. My parents live in Toowoomba and my mum is helping with fundraising from there. The Chronicle has just been to them for a photo and story and I will find out when it runs and try and put it here on the blog.

Some of the media here have said that they would appreciate photographs relating to our stories.

I am meeting with the local council next week on Wednesday at 5.30 to present our plea and will see how we go.

Kris and I are putting a little newsletter together - I ran out of black ink - so I then rang Evans Printing here in Armidale and asked if they could help me with the printing. We will print 100, A3 folded once to an A4 in black and white and pass on to St George in Armidale to give to people who donate here. Evans Printing has offered to print the first two batches for free and I offered in return that we put their name and sponsorship on the bottom of the newsletter.

I will also email the newsletter to anyone who wishes to have it to pass on.
