Monday - Ticket Sales are Open

Greetings all.

Good news.  I am able to announce that the tickets for our Brisbane Dinner and the Raffle Tickets are going on sale tonight which is a week earlier than we expected.  If you have already emailed Angela to reserve your ticket she will get back to you with the following details in the next day or so.  If you have not emailed Angela and wish to come to the dinner don't leave it too late and miss out.

I am repeating some of the information from last week's post just to make sure we are all on the same page with the dinner.  This is to be a special night aimed at celebrating what Aussie Heroes has achieved since its inception.  It is a chance for recipients, supporters and Aussie Hero Friends to chat face to face for a change seeing as most of our communication is via the internet.  

Who is invited?

If you are an Aussie Hero Friend we would love you to come.  If you, or a loved one, has received a quilt or a laundry bag from Aussie Heroes we would be honoured if you would consider joining us. If you follow the Facebook page or the blog I hope you will consider coming along as well.  You don't have to be eligible to come, you just have to want to come.

Format of the evening.

Please note  - this will not be a formal sit down dinner.  There will be hot and cold finger foods, a couple of different kinds of noodle boxes and cheese platters.   A cash bar will be in operation as it is just too expensive for us to run a function with a drinks package.

It is yet to be confirmed but I am hoping that we will have a guest speaker who is one of our recipients as well as being one of my "distributors".  

We are planning a Raffle, Door Prizes and much more.

So now to the nitty gritty!

Laundry Bag Challenge

The only other thing you need to think about is entering our laundry bag challenge.  

 Everyone, even those who cannot attend, is invited to make a laundry bag. 

You can make an Aussie themed one, a military themed one or a fun one.  

All laundry bags are to be sent to

Angela (Aussie Heroes)

PO Box 5411

Brendale  QLD  4500

Please do not send them to me

I don't want to have to carry them or send them to Brisbane.

One laundry bag per person please, and most important, please include an A4 sheet of paper inside the laundry bag with your name, address and email so that we can contact the winner.  The number of winners (i.e. first, second and third) will be decided at a later date.  Also feel free to include your normal note to the recipient as all bags will be sent off straight after the event to my various contacts around the Middle East.  We already know we have a few recipients attending the dinner and I am hoping one or two of them will consent to be our Laundry Bag Judges.  Laundry bags must be with Angela no later than Monday 25th of November.

Some accommodation is available at the venue (with a special booking code) and we are considering planning a breakfast for the morning after if there is enough interest.  

Those details can all be found here

Till next time................keep spreading the word and happy stitching!  JMxx
