Week 37 2015

Hello!

Last year in September we joined the worlds biggest coffee morning to help raise funds for the Macmillan Cancer Support and the Institut Begonie in Bordeaux http://www.bergonie.org/

It was a great success and we were able to send over €700 to the two Cancer charities.  This year we’d like to do it again, and invite you to join us by the river on Friday 18^th September for a chance to catch up with friends, have a cup of tea or coffee and slice of cake and watch the swans swim by. There are even some games

If you would like to find out more about the Coffee Morning, donate a cake, or can come and help, please don’t hesitate to contact me and we look forward to seeing you there.

Whatever you do this week in the Dordogne and Gironde regions, have a good week.

Friday 18th September 10 - 12:30

Best wishes,

Helen
