to be able to put on the show, and really appreciate your help. Please let Donna know if you are able to
help, and if you have a preference to which night. We will hold a meeting closer to the time to
discuss what is needed, but if you have any queries, please speak to
Donna. We also hold a raffle that is
drawn during the interval each night, and appreciate any prize donations. All proceeds go to the charity.
