Baby Milk Action Fundraiser (Invitation Only Event)
Table top sale and coffee afternoon
Sunday 1st November 2009, 12pm lunchtime – 6pm
Weymouth (Please refer to your LETS Directory for location details/directions or email Vicky Turner at flamekeeper@hotmail.co.uk)
One of our Dorchester & South Dorset LETS members Vicky Turner has asked us to let all fellow LETS members know we have a special invite to this fundraising event (please note this event is not public but by invitational only).
As part of International Boycott Nestle Week (26th October – 1st November) Vicky will be holding a coffee afternoon and table top sale to raise money for Baby Milk Action, to help the cause continue its valuable work to protect infant health and to raise awareness about the Nestle/Nescafe Boycott.
There will be good quality second hand items (books, bric-a-brac, clothes, records, etc) and brand new giftware and herbal products for sale, all proceeds going to the cause. If you have any items you would otherwise take to a charity shop that you would like to donate to the sale, please bring them along.
Organic, fairtrade beverages and refreshments will be provided, for which donations would be appreciated (but not compulsory) – all profits again to Baby Milk Action.
Information about the Nestle Boycott and the work of Baby Milk Action will be available on the day to peruse or take away for your own reference. For further information in advance visit www.babymilkaction.org.
Partners and children most welcome too.
Please RSVP to Vicky at flamekeeper@hotmail.co.uk.
She looks forward to seeing you on the day if you can make it!

Last weekend, Dorchester & South LETS went along to the One World Fair in Dorchester. Katy said “The event was absolutely brilliant and there was quite a bit of interest in LETS so I ran out of leaflets!” and our very own LETS Marts Accountant and Dorchester Town Mayor Susie Hosford joined us too!
