VBC international flea market and other donations
Update posted by Andrea OterovaVBC FLEA MARKET - May 2016
We have been very lucky to win to become the “Charity of the Year” for a flea market which the Vienna Babies Club hosts every year. It was a day event, we had a stand there where we collected clothes and necessities for camps and housed refugees. The VBC flea market organized a cake and drink stand, the proceeds of which went to our site. Excluding the fees of transfer, we have received 1324 EUR from the VBC Fleamarket Event. THANK YOU to all the volunteers who were involved in collecting, organizing and redistributing donations, namely Sarah, Claire, Emma, Sonia, Vince, Ali, Abrar, Bassam, Luada and Maitham. It was a busy day but thanks to you all also a fun day, so thank you all for joining us!
A HUGE THANK YOU to the VBC committee and members, mainly Claudia, Rachel, Karissa, Long, the ladies in the cake and drink stands, and all the generous donors.J.
