First wave of second hand books have been delivered to the Hall, the pile of cakes is stacking up nicely (lemon drizzlex3, coffee and walnut, carrot cake, gluten free chocolate brownies, pain au chocolat all at this house and more cakes known to be at the neighbours and on their way), flowers for the tables have been collected, balloons and bunting are in the car. It's going to be one hell of a coffee morning!
Publicity has gone well: articles in the MK News on 14 Sept and MK Citizen on the 15th, posters in town, fliers in school book bags, facebook, etc. Also, for Macmillan generally on the radio on Monday (about 1 hour 15 mins into the programme: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p001d7bp on 26/9).
People have been so generous already with their time, money and contributions. I'm really looking forward to seeing a number of friends who expect to come and I haven't seen for a while. The regional fundraising office have been great with providing Macmillan goodies (T-shirts, balloons, pinnies, bunting, etc). Now it's up to us to raise heaps of cash for this fantastic cause.
It will be the official launch of my fundraising year, although really this started as soon as the planning got properly under way: www.justgiving.com/year-for-macmillan
Good luck everyone who is hosting a coffee morning. x
