I have a Partner!!
Due to circumstances out of my control I've failed to up date this recently. Here's a quick rundown of what's been happening.
On the 20th of July I had a meeting with the director of Club Bel Age in Cannes, this is a club for older people and it's also where I teach English on a voluntary basis. This meeting was to present my plans for Kilimanjaro and to ask the club to help me in raising the money.
I met Mr Tooley and an assistant, and explained what I will be doing and why. With no hesitation he said that they would be pleased to help me and invited me to a directors meeting at the end of August to speak to the managers of all the clubs, so they could propose various fundraising events. Mr Tooley also said that he would contact other associations etc to see if they would join Bel Age in helping me, they would do posters and fliers as well! I was amazed and pleased to receive such help, I wasn't expecting as much as they offered.
Later that day I received an email confirming that the Club de Bel Age would be my official partners in my mad venture, the President had confirmed and he would participate in the events with me. I must add that the President has already climbed Kilimanjaro and he made it to the top unfortunately his wife, who accompanied him, didn't.
The first event is now underway, it will be a Jazz event with my dear friend Denia singing, she's been likened to Ella Fitzgerald down here. The event will take place on the 25th of September in Cannes in a large room where they hold lots of important events such as the film festival etc!!
Some more good news is that the club where I train, Keep Cool, waived my renewal fee for the next six months! So that will go towards my funds, there is also a collection box and poster in the gym and as I am a shy person by nature ;-) I hope to be able to inform people what I am training for.
