govanblue 16,847 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Hi Team, just a quick one here. I occasionally read the odd post where an RM Member is saying something along the lines of "the Fund deserves more recognition for what it does". Well the truth is, we don't want recognition, and ask specifically that we don't get it. We get our thank-you's privately, and just keep them within the Bears' Den, and that suits us. But in response to those who do think we should get more recognition, here's a brief update: Erskine Military Ball - The Fund was invited to the Fundraisers' Event of the Year. £100 a ticket, and we got two free!!! Inevitably, I turned up late, and couldn't find my table. There were about 45 tables, and I figured I'd be on #46, with the kids and Cousin Ruprek, but it turns out we were in fact TOP Table! Not bad and more honour than I could cope with really! And in other news, our Very Good Friend, Colin Stewart, Director of Rangers Youth Development Co. has asked two of our members to join us with him in the Directors' Box for the Aberdeen game. I'm trying to flog those obviously! So never let it be said that either Erskine, or Rangers Youth Development Co. don't appreciate our efforts far more than we either let on, or really realise ourselves. But let's not dwell on that, let's just focus on doing what we do best. And for the record, there are only 100 of these Erskine Centenary Thank-You Medals in existence - One is displayed proudly in the Rangers trophy Room... And another in The Fund trophy room. We got ours first btw. But in terms of recognition, this is still probably the one that mean most to me... I think that's a clear example of how what we do is different to your regular charity donations, and worth doing no matter what else you do with your time and money. But then I'm biased.

But you're probably best going through @Zetland first, until she's sold the ones she picked up specifically for RM members. Tash will just have to hang on. And for payment, just the same as your membership donation, if you still have that to hand, if not Zetland will fill you in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, well I haven't changed mine. I think gustav was more angry at himself for falling hook line and sinker for such an obvious windup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
