News from the UK
UKFOBIS, the UK friends of Beit Issie Shapiro, continues to grow. In June it was 'eyes down' once more as we were again part of the Hebrew Order of David Bingo evening. Over 240 people from a variety of charities came together for an amazing night characterised by the friendly atmosphere, fantastic prizes and great food.
We raised £20,000 for BIS and were delighted that so many of our friends and supporters won big prizes. Our thanks go to UKFOBIS board member Alex Beare for the work he and his committe, led by Eric Shapshack put into the event, and to Aidee Beare for leading the catering team.
We were also delighted to welcome Wendy Pater to the UKFOBIS board. Wendy has been involved in a number of communal organisations including JNF, and we are sure her experience and enthusiasm will help us support BIS even more.
UKFOBIS is always looking for more fundraising ideas. If you are looking to make purchases from the UK, then please visit us here and support us for free by shopping at over 600 stores, including Amazon and M&S. |
