FAO Barman or the Boss

I would like to run this by you before posting anything.
There is an appeal being run to send christmas goodies to the lads and lasses of our Armed Forces serving abroad in defence of our country. I donated last year and since then the organisation has gained charitable status. I would like to post the e-mail I recieved asking for help  on here if that is ok with your good selves, it will include the website address and address of the founder. Some forums are a bit funny about postings from charities.
regards GOS

Sounds like a splendid idea.

I should also like to draw members attention to the attractive Xmas hampers available from Farepak Selection Enterprises, which could also be shipped to any deserving person at a small extra cost.

Up to the maganement of course but for what it's worth I approve 
When we, in the previous life, had our business in the UK the charity we suported was the RBL and BM, and yes this is true, for two consecutive years did the pedal to Paris for them to raise funds. I used to beat up our suppliers and make them sponser him by hinting  it would be in their long term business interests.

The only two Charities I support are the Royal British Legion and the RAF Association. There are simply too many others around so one has to make choices and since I am ex-services that is where I direct my donations. Rather than wait for appeals I make regular donations to each ~ once a quarter. The only trouble with that is I do get a lot of letters from them  but I donate those to the recycling cause

I have not problems with this but as has been mentioned, my preferred charity is RBL.

Many thanks,


Last year you very kindly made a donation towards our Xmas Parcel Appeal.  Thanks to your contributions this was a huge success and 2,437 Xmas care packages were sent out to the lads and lassies in Iraq, Afghanistan and on other overseas operations.
 
We're now embarking on our Appeal for this year and wondered if we could possibly count on your support once again.
 
For us to fill a parcel on your behalf costs just £5, and thanks to the generosity of a number of companies, the parcels this year will contain even more seasonal goodies.
 
All the details can be found on our website http://www.supportoursoldiers.co.uk/yellowrib.html and if you would like to make a donation this can be done online or cheques, made payable to Support Our Soldiers, may be sent to the address shown at the bottom of this email.
 
I'd just like to confirm that SOS is now a registered charity, our application was accepted on the 29th August this year.
 
May I take this opportunity to thank you for your support, if you would prefer that we don't contact you in the future then please email me back and your details will be removed from our list.
 
Very kind regards
 
Karen
