Nous sommes le mardi vingt neuf novembre

Moving on well with setting up our association " Mains tendues 82"
It takes awhile to tick all the boxes but we should be there soon.
Our aims
"L'association a pour objet la collecte et la vente de dons mobiliers, vestimentaires ou de toute autre nature qui pourrait être donné et ce au profit de personnes dans le besoin ou de toute association philanthropique aidant ces personnes. "
Basically we are willing to work collecting articles and selling reasonably for people in need and then help people with the money we collect.
I have been doing it for some years but want to do it from within an association as I did not realise how much money we could potentially take.
The bureau will be 
 Val Johnstone President and publicist
Frédéric Nicholas   Secretary 
Véronique Weyergans  Adjoint Secretary
Sarah Brown   Treasurer

Even before the association is in place we are keeping accounts and today I can talk to the bureau about giving a cheque to the local enfants school in Varen. We want to do that now so the teachers know they can pay for entertainers for a childrens Christmas show. 
As always I am grateful for all your support

A reply from our Secretary who is also on the parent teachers association.
Val, just to let you know that the "association de parents d'élèves de l'école de Varen" is planning to organize a christmas show for the kids from the school with Marie-Gabrielle Malaganne, a story-teller, and Jean Regazzoni, a musician. Maybe the donation you talked about could help for the organisation of that event ? Just a thought...
