many "pre-loved" [as they are now called] clothes, shoes and various nick-nacks had been donated by the travellers.I volunteered to help and was allocated to host the Buzz Wire Game Stall nobody wanted [I said I would do anything], as it was not glamorous, the 2nd Hand Rose stalls were much in demand both by the volunteers,all women,and the buyers,and of all the stalls they made most money.There was a raffle at the end of the two hours and a live auction,where The Chart of The World Cruise went for $4,000. The auction made in total just over $9,000.The money will go to various charities, including one in the Philippines,as much of the crew is from there.I am very happy some money is being donated to the Help For Heroes.So little is being done for the soldiers who return from the senseless wars damaged physically and mentally.Every little will help someone and their families.
Today I received a lovey thank you letter signed by the captain Mr Tomas Connery, Sadiki,the Social host and Sally, the Entertainment manager.
