Hi Guys,

Wanted to let you know that I am hosting a Fundraising Ball on Friday 2/3/07 at the Station Hotel in Ellon (a mere 16 miles north of Aberdeen).

A great excuse to put your Gladrags & dancing shoes on for a good cause!

Tickets are £10.00 each which will include:-

5 hours of dancing (7.30p.m. - 12.30a.m.)
Music by DJ Sheena 'Tiggerbabe'
Stovies
Raffle Prizes
And the warm fuzzy feeling you will get knowing that you are helping a Charity whilst having a great time!

As some of you may already know I am taking part in a Sponsored Trip to Everest Base Camp (17,000ft) in April & with a ittle bit of support hope to raise as much funds for CLAN House in Aberdeen as I can.

My mum was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2004 & since then has used CLAN House to meet people in a similar situation, get treatments & use their medical library to help educate herself aswell as the rest of us.

Basically I can't speak highly enough of this charity which is why i'm putting on my walking boots to raise funds.

If anyone is interested in buying tickets or wants more info then please PM me.
There is a Dundee party on the next evening for anyone wanting to make a weekend of it & i'm sure for anyone travelling accommodation can be sorted out too.

My sponsor site if anyone is kind enough to make a donation is:- www.justgiving.com/vonney

Thanks in advance,

Yvonne x

Can't quite believe it is only a week on Friday now!

Have sold about 70 tickets so far with a mix of dancers, friends, family & work colleagues & am looking forward to it.

People travelling from London & Glasgow too & am so humbled by everyones support - all i've got to do in return is get myself to 17,000ft in a couple of months time - seems fair!

Will PM you Pauline ref Raffle Tickets.

Hi All,

Party countdown has now begun ....4 days & counting.
Looks like we will have about 80 people on Friday but still room for anyone else who is at a loose end on Friday.

I'm at dancing on Tuesday & Thursday this week & mum will be there on Wednesday so you can still get tickets.

Thanks for the support so far...

Well Done Yvonne!

What a fantastic night!

:respect: :respect: :respect:


And I'm sure everyone else will agree you should be so proud babes.....

Hugs to Sheena for the fab music that entertained everyone......:clap:

Took all the dancers little bit of time to remember what muggle dancing was :whistle: and to stop expecting someone else to lead.....:wink: but I think everyone managed to master it in the end........:whistle: Mr Fitz :waycool: I'm sure you used to secretly dance around to Wham! :worthy: so come on own up who did you pretend to be George or Andrew......? :rolleyes:

Even the Cha Cha Slide.....:rofl: went down a treat so glad there was no camera's around for that mind you .......:eek:

:hug: to Tiggerbabe for making room for me in car! and to everyone else who made it such a fab night......:respect:
