Dear PAT members and the many supporters and donors out there!

 

R17 652,00! (expenses yet to be deducted)

 

Now that’s what I call successful! And it is mainly thanks to each and every one of you, for taking the time and making the effort to round up hundreds of book donations that literally flew off the tables!

 

Indeed, all the charities were very pleased with their takings this year; we were back to 6 display tables again and the storms very conveniently drove everyone indoors with time on their hands before rugby!

 

PAT was particularly lucky to receive a substantial donation of brand new Disney children’s books, which kept many parents lingering around the tables. Very special thanks to Rene and her secret source for this.

 

As I do not have the names of all those who scanned their book shelves and begged their book clubs to support us, it would be greatly appreciated if you would pass on my very special thanks on behalf of the Pets as Therapy EXCO.

 

We plan to start the rounding-up process earlier next year – so now is the time to put those books aside knowing that they are worth a lot to PAT!

 

With best wishes

 

Charmaine French: PAT chair
