Kate in Uganda seems to be on peoples minds. Last evening a few of us were discussing ways of letting the community and her friends help organize some funding for her project to renew the dormitory of the Uganda Orphanage where she is a volunteer teacher. Eventually we thought a sponsored walk would be best for starters with a menued option of walks to suit all tastes.
Then this morning Eilis Killeen rang from Galway to say that a group of friends from Galway had met and wanted to do a ……..SPONSORED WALK.
So it looks like a sponsored walk coming up in a few weeks as soon as permission and sponsorship cards are sorted out. I am working on a meu of walks to suit young and old and for overseas friends they are welcome to join us by getting sponsorship and choosing a walk tailored to their needs.
The shortest walk will be less than a mile. More details when they become available.
Last night badge sales were €68.80 and some €25 worth were sold during the day. Our kind sponsor of the badges and pins Steve Peake from Badge World would Im sure have liked to have met one of the people that bought the badges last nigh.He is Leslie Mc Lysatht, Kill, County Kildare who told me that his hobby is collecting badges and he has several biscuit tins full of various badges including Desperate Dan and Dennis the Menace. Maybe next week when our stock has run out we will pay him a visit some night.
