Tea wi with the F Friends Why have we brought you here ? • For some coffee and a biscuit!! • To inform you of WHAT WE DO and WHY … Our Children Come first! • Ask you for help – as much or as little as you can give We are all busy, trying to balance a house, work, children’s homework, after school activities Ø All of us are the same !! Ø • Events just don’t happen, it takes behind the scenes work !! Any time you can give us … Share your ideas at meetings for NEW events for our children or “spice up” Ø an existing event Donate an 1 hour to help us prepare for an event – paint, wrap presents, wherever you have interest Ø (you don’t have to be in the spotlight – there is plenty of behind the scene activities) • Events just don’t happen – Events need on the day support!
