We need volunteers for the upcoming Holiday Bazaar!
Even though there is still a lot of time before the next Christmas Bazaar, we are starting to look for
someone who enjoys organizing and is willing to take over the role as committee chair of our Christmas
Bazaar 2016. There is a motivated and experienced team to assist you and at the moment, Andrea
Wrumnig, who so brilliantly did this job for the last two years, is still available to pass on all the
documentation and tips.
The second job is for somebody to take over the Christmas wreath production and sales. Here, too, a
great team with lots of experience is available.
If you are interested or need more information, please contact elternbeirat@gisny.org
SPECIAL REQUEST!
Ms. Fliegner travelling to Uganda this summer!
As many of you know, Ms. Fliegner will fly to Uganda to volunteer at Uganda Lodge for a month this
summer. Mrs. Hegarty`s Human Rights Club has already been fundraising for the project and Frau
Fliegner`s class has collected clothes for her to take over to donate. Now we are still looking for a
suitcase to put all the clothes in. The allowance is 23kg, so a big suitcase with wheels is needed. If
GISNEWSLETTER June 8, 2016
anybody has a suitcase they do not need anymore, please contact Frau Fliegner cfliegner@gisny.org.
Your help is greatly appreciated!
Wie viele von Ihnen bereits wissen, wird Frau Fliegner in diesem Sommer für 4 Wochen in Uganda sein
und dort ehrenamtlich in dem Projekt Uganda Lodge tätig sein. Mrs. Hegartys Human Right Club hat
bereits Spenden gesammelt für das Projekt und Frau Fliegners Klasse hat Kleidung gespendet. Nun
brauchen wir einen Koffer, in den 23kg an Kleidung passen und der Räder hat. Sollten irgend jemand
einen Koffer haben, der nicht mehr benötigt wird, wenden Sie sich bitte direkt an Frau Fliegner
cfliegner@gisny.org. Vielen Dank für Ihre Hilfe!
