Garage Sales and Other Plans

BMETS recently got together to review last year's activites and plan for the coming year. Planning can be a little dry but with the Sisters around the table there is much merriment and laughter all round.
 
"It was great to have an opportunity to reflect on the big picture." said Mary Waterford, "So often we are caught up in getting the details right that we forget about the achievements. Planning provides an opportunity to take a moment to reflect and celebrate what wer have achieved in the year. For instance during 2011 - 2012 BMETS raised about $65,000.  In addition to this we raised nearly $100,000 as partners to the Trek For Timor. That's a lot of garage sales, book sales, events, etc. This money can achieve a lot in Timor."
 
Currently BMETS is planning the next garage sale. It will be held Saturday 9thMarch at 8a Russell Rd, Leura from 9 – 3 .  We are still seeking good quality donations. Donations can be left at this address over the next two weeks.
 
The Sisters are not getting any younger. At the end of the sale, we also have space for helpful volunteers who can help sort and pack up from 1.30pm onwards. All help appreciated. 
 
East Timor's children ... This is what it's all about!
