YOU ARE AMAZING!! #fundraising Our club is full of amazing people! And I could stop there but I think everyone needs to know why. For those that don t know me, I am your fundraising manager. I haven t been around the club much this season since I m totes about to pop out a baby but I ve been spending my time arranging opportunities for us to fundraise which isn t easy, but compared to what you guys do to support me, it s a piece of cake. So here are some pretty pictures and stats to explain just how awesome you are: Yes, you are amazing and yes, that total is HUGE. It not only makes it just that little bit easier for the club to operate, but shows that there is a good amount of team spirit around the club, which can only help to make it a more enjoyable place to be around for everyone. So thanks again, all you awesome people. And for those that haven t yet had a chance to show their awesomeness, we hope to see you putting your hand up next time because we re always happy to up the awesome count Cheers, Reeny!2
