An appeal to English speakers in and around the Gaillac area/region

Entente Cordiale Gaillacoise (www.ententecordiale81.org). Surviving cancer is possible – but not without research, and not without YOU

Entente Cordiale Gaillacoise is a Gaillac-based (81) association that was founded with the single aim of raising money for cancer research at the Claudius Regaud Institute, Toulouse.  Every €Euro raised by us is given to the Centre, and every centime is used by them in fundamental research into the causes of, and treatments for, cancer.
We all know of someone who has been affected by this terrible illness: and if you would like to give a little time to help us raise money to fight cancer, please contact us.

The association has become out of balance of French/English participants.
This is due to a number of reasons but mainly health issues and so we are looking for more English people to help us and who might bring some fresh ideas for us too.

We are not a regimented association as such, we are very relaxed and easy about what we do, how often we meet and what events we put on.
Our main fund raiser is an event held at the Salle des Fetes in Gaillac usually in February. Next 2018 it's the 3rd February. We have a English garden Party in the summer.  We try to have a Xmas fair and an occasional English book selling event.
Think you can help?  Spare a little time?
In the first instance call Martin, 06 46 60 67 81;  just for a chat and to see if this is something that can tempt you to make some extra time out of your busy schedule.
If you could we would be most grateful.

Martin
