Fundraising Ceilidh
The Date: 7th January 2008
The Mission: To organise a ceilidh and fundraise for TOLFA (whilst keeping warm and having fun).
Heather McCabe had such a fantastic time as a Project Raja Volunteer that when she arrived home she decided to continue helping us.
Her efforts managed to raise us £50 plus an extra £50 from one of our collection boxes.
Heathers Ceilidh
It seemed like a good idea at the time, to use our contacts and put on a ceilidh in Glasgow to raise the profile of TOLFA and maybe a little money too. TOLFA has a special relationship with the Glasgow Vet students, several have volunteered at our rescue centre and hospital in Rajasthan, so a ring-round rallied the crew to help out and we were underway.
Pochled, a local ceilidh band, kindly agreed to provide the music and call the dances, Glasgow University Union gave us the Debates Chamber at a special rate; all we needed now were some dancers!
Fortunately some very energetic dancers came along and through their enthusiasm, energy and generosity we had a great dance and raised much needed funds for the hospital. Many thanks to all who gave their time and support , although we were few in number our mission was accomplished – everyone had a good time.
