Jumble Sale Support February 24, 2007
Posted by akela in : Cubs , add a commentAll members of the group SHOULD have been given a letter requesting parental support with the group jumble sale. We have a few regular helpers absent for this jumble sale so the extra support is essential for the jumble sale to work smoothly.
Help is desperatly needed on Thursday evening 7.30pm and Friday evening 6.30pm with collecting jumble from the local area. Even if you dont have the use of a vehicle please help out, even if your child is not a cub or scout you can still help on these evenings.
Jumbles raise a substantial amount of money for the group which we can’t do without, so PLEASE support the group in any way you can.
The more support we recieve the quicker the collecting is done.
Your time and support is greatly appreciated
