4 Shh C word (Christmas Fair) Greetings! Now that the children are going back to school it is time to start to seriously think about beginning to organise the FUSS Christmas Fair. The date of the fair this year is Saturday 2nd December. Please put it in your diaries and let us know if you would be able to help on the day, decorating Santa s Grotto, setting up, etc. Any and all help you can offer will be very gratefully received. Laura Cheek (For FUSS) Lee Fair Share will be having a stall. Last year, the money raised by the tombola stall helped pay for two mini buses to Broadstairs along with many things that are not cover by Lee Fair Share s diminishing funds hire of venues for social events and activities, materials for crafts, refreshments at Coffee, Cake and Company and very importantly public liability insurance. Donations for the tombola - bottles, tins, biscuits, chocolates, toiletries would be much appreciated. If every member of Lee Fair Share gave a little donation, even a tin of baked beans or a can of coke, there would be a wonderful spread for the stall. Volunteers are needed to run the stall; an hour of your time would be really appreciated. If you wish to donate or volunteer please contact Lorraine.
