OPEN MEETING FOR NEW VOLUNTEERS
AT THE ROYAL OAK, WINEHAM
MONDAY, 28th APRIL from 7pm
Dear LAMBS supporter,
Please help our dedicated team!
It is now nearly six months since our seven mile yellow ribbon and during that time the LAMBS campaign has grown into a formidable fighting force.
HOWEVER, we have now reached the point at which our existing team is no longer large enough to continue this progression… and we need your help!
We need to increase our ranks in order to raise more money and to raise the campaign to the next level.
We are holding an open meeting for anyone who is interested in assisting us with our fund raising and/or becoming more involved in LAMBS. We are very keen to meet anyone who can offer any specific expertise which could help in the campaign. The kind of skills we need include: fund raising, legal, planning, financial, administrative, printing/publication etc…
If you have no specific expertise in these areas, but have some spare time then please still come along – we also need people who are prepared to write letters, deliver leaflets and man stalls at local events.
Please join us from 7pm on Monday, 28th April at The Royal Oak, Wineham. We would be grateful if you could let us know by email if you are coming to allow us to cater for numbers.
If you are interested in helping us but are unable to attend the meeting please email us with your telephone number and we will get back to you as soon as possible – lambsorg@gmail.com
This expansion is vital to the increasing success of LAMBS so please help if you can.
Thank you
LAMBS
