govanblue 16,847 Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 Remember, you don't need to donate right this second, but if you do want to donate before the start of the new season, just let me know and I'll put you on the Pledged List, to donate later when it's convenient for you.But at least if I know you're intending to donate, I can see how many members have responded, and whether we're succeeding or not.

govanblue 16,847 Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 So since this thread's going to be around for quite a while, I guess I may as well liven it up a bit with occasional random Erskine Lunch Fund photos.You may remember one of our first missions - Alan, an Erskine Veteran...who wanted to swap his Brian Laudrup picture for a Jim Baxter picture. Obviously we couldn't take his Brian Laudrup picture from him, so here's what we got him to go with it...And here are some of the Christmas presents we dropped off for the 4 Homes...Here's the thread...http://forum.rangersmedia.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=262864That's got to be worth donating a fiver to surely?

govanblue 16,847 Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 Not long after that, County Armagh RSC's kindly donated 4 of these Barcelona Bears 40 Year Anniversary Commemorative medals - one for each of our 4 HomesFrom a Dementia Therapy perspective, these medals tick more boxes than there are boxes! Erskine Park's medal will be guaranteed a prime location in their forthcoming Sporting Memories Room, and will be well handled in the years to come.

govanblue 16,847 Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 And remember all that memorabilia we donated?This fine Rangers Headlines Book for example, complete with personalised message which is ideal material for helping with reminiscence sessions and will also fit in unbelievably well in the Sporting Memories Room.If I remember correctly, I think it was Loyal Fund Member Jules Winnfield who donated that?Correct me if I'm wrong anyone.
