Hi Everyone,

Unfortuanatly this has been another bad week for myself. After last week when my mobile phone was stolen i thought maybe things would get better, but they havent. Yesterday i decided to take the day off work to catch up on some housework after a busy weekend at the charity shops and a fundraiser in Halifax. I had to come into work late afternoon to pick up a message and by the time i got home the house had been ransacked and a car and £1100 money stolen. This money was saved up to take my grandchildren away and now we cannot go. I count myself to be very lucky in life after the work i do and the stories i hear, i have my health and my family but this just doesnt seem fair at all. Hopefully the police will catch the thief and the car and money returned but i am very doubtful.

We went to Halifax on Sunday for an event which was kindly organised by a lady named Lucy Dawber for us. I took my grandchildren along and they thoroughly enjoyed the day as did we all. We are still unsure on the amount that was raised on the day but will keep you all updated as and when we find out. We would like to thank all who organised and helped out on the day for their support, thank you.

I would like to thank all the volunteers who helped transform both charity shops at the weekend, we all worked our socks off to create space and an easier shopping environment for all of our customers. The Barrow Street shop has become an all furniture and bric a brac shop and our Hall Street shop is now just clothes and shoes. Hopefully this will bring in more custom and more money for the charity as we are the best value charity shop in St.Helens.

Special days are coming in everyday and we are getting through them as and when we can. We have funded trips to Alton Towers and Hotels stays, Hot Air Balloon flights, a london theatre trip and Butlins holiday. We hope that everybody enjoys their special days as each and everyone of them are thoroughly deserved.

If anybody would like to do any fundraising for the HoneyRose Foundation then your efforts any size will be gratefully recieved as we really appreciate all the help and support that we get.

Just a reminder aout our Autumn Ball which is to be held at the Devonshire House Hotel in Liverpool at 7.30pm on 2nd October 2010. Tickets are £40 and include a 3 course meal and a full night of entertainment. George Michael and Stavros Flatley Tribute Acts, a magician, raffles, auctions and lots more. Our Secret Millionaire Charlie Mullins and wife Lynda and friends will also be attending, this is a night not to be missed.

If you need any further information about any of the above then please dont hesitate to contact one of our team on 01744451919 or 07838238309.

Regard,

Lynn xxxx
