A plea for help

Before our plea will keep you update with what we have been upto. We had another successful sausage sizzle on 20 Sept, thanks to Mum who helped on the day ;) We raised $360 :)

Joyah also had a big TradeMe blitz in the holidays and listed a whole pile of stuff. We were very happy with how the auctions went and will be depositing close to $300 to her account from the TradeMe auctions. Thanks to those people who donated goods :)

We are now close to $5500 raised ;)

We have booked a fundraising session of New Moon at Skycity Queensgate on the 9th of December. We will selling tickets for $20 at the beginning of Nov with lots of lucky seat and spot prizes. We would really appreciate some help in getting some goods for prizes. First of all we would like lots of lollies to give away as prizes so anyone who would like to donate a bag of lollies please get them to me or Joyah. Also we would love someone to help Joyah approach shops and business's to donate Twilight merchandise for us to give away. Joyah has also written a letter to Robert Pattisons agent asking for his autograph, you never know our luck :) Basically the more prizes that we have to give away the more attractive the tickets will be to buy for our target audience , teenage girls!

Now for our big plea for help, We have a very busy labour weekend with sausage sizzles! We have a sausage sizzle booked on Sunday 25th at Petone Warehouse. Then we have a sausage sizzle booked on the Mon 26th at Mitre 10 Mega! I have been told we could sell up to 1000 sausages on a sunny public holiday at Mitre 10 Mega!! Thats more than double what we normally sell!

Obviously if this is going to be the case we will need help! More so than ever! Normally we can mange by ourselves if there are no volunteers for help and we will be there all day on the Monday but we will also need extra volunteers. So if you are not going away and can spare a few hours on the Sun or Mon please let us know. We will also need help on the Sat preparing the bread and onions.

In November we have no sausage sizzles booked. Joyah and I will be spending a couple of Saturday mornings at the market. We will be selling baking and Joyah's bracelets plus whatever else we can organise. Closer to the time we will be asking if anyone can provide baking we have ingredients that we can give to people to use :)

In Dec as I mentioned we have the New Moon screening and what we would hope to be our last sausage sizzle! Apart from Joyah's bike ride which will probably happen in March ( we still need someone to help her train ) that should be our fundraising finished!

As always we appreciate all support and help from our family and friends.
