25 years of the Telethon
Is your car dirty? The local Pompiers are offering to wash your car on Saturday 3rd of Dec. in exchange for your contribution to the Telethon appeal. The Telethon, a similar sort of money raising event to Children in Need is celebrating its 25 years of raising money. All the regions in France participate in these money raising schemes and it is not unusual to see people in funny outfits rattling their collecting tins and others arranging tombolas etc. All the monies collected go towards medical research.
