2010 Campaign Underway
Posted: Thu Mar 18, 2010 9:41 pm
Hi Folks, well I'm pleased to confirm that the first donations for 2010 have started to arrive, and rumours are abound of various ideas for the year.
As you can see, Bootsy has created a dedicated charity sub-section, which is great, as I could never remember where the various threads were .
One bit of news: I had a call the other day from my local Macmillan office. It seems that, bequeaths aside, we made it into their Top Twenty fundraisers for that office in 2009. Nice to know, and very nice to get a phonecall with the news.
They were at pains to ask me to pass on their thanks for all of the work and donations that the DDK'ers have provided. I gather that within the Macmillan organisation we are quite well known (notorious?) these days.
I'd like to echo their sentiments if I may: time and again people have gone to a lot of effort to make a donation, some large, some small, but all have made the effort to write out a cheque, provide some details, and get it into the post to me, and that's quite aside from the donation itself. Great stuff, and very much appreciated.
