govanblue 16,847 Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 So our plans so far are:£400 - Cash donation to 4 Homes towards Christmas Dinner Celebrations£160 - Ibrox Day Out for Erskine Bishopton (Sponsors' Fund will also donate £120 for the Megastore Shopping part)£200 - Cash allocated for Erskine Park's Sporting Memories Room - specific use yet to be decidedWe're also looking at getting RangersTV subscriptions for the Homes, but again, like the Megastore Shopping, that benefits Rangers, so the Sponsors' Fund will pick that up. Remaining Balance to be spent: £562.33 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Great job - well done to all who donated Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
govanblue 16,847 Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Although I asked for just a couple of quid from each member, it was heartening to see that every member donated a fair bit more than that. Since I know that some of you are not as flush at the moment as you'd like, it's appreciated. But I also want to give particular thanks and appreciation to the member who donated £100 to the Erskine Lunch Fund - and didn't bother to mention it. I won't say who the Bear or Bearette is, but they went from Fund Virgin to Hardcore Loyal in one single step - so the rest of you have got some catching up to do!

govanblue 16,847 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Update:I've now posted five cheques to Erskine, each for £100. It was only supposed to be four, but that would have meant that every Erskine Home in Scotland would have got a donation, except one - Erskine Edinburgh.And that would not be right. Now it's right. Erskine will send me some photos of their various Christmas Parties, as well as an update on what they each spent their £100 on. (Erskine Park have already decided - More Booze! ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
govanblue 16,847 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Oh, and a wee message to all of you who voted for Erskine Park in the Community Fund Awards...All the residents, families and staff at Erskine Park, want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who supported Erskine through the Bank of Scotland Community Fund public vote. With your help we secured the highest number of votes in our category and have been awarded the maximum grant available of £3,000! The grant will allow us to create a Sporting Memories Room at the Erskine Park Home and provide a place where residents can participate in sporting reminiscence activities, to encourage social interaction, stimulate memories and have a lot of fun. We couldn’t have done it without you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
