APHEDA Fundraiser

Meanwhile, the Independent Education Union is aiming to raise a moderate cash injection for the highly successful IEU/APHEDA East Timor Appeal. We can't go to The Markets for funds, but in labour movement tradition we will hold...a raffle.

How: Raffle Books ($5 each ticket, $25 a book)

What: 1st Prize, a dozen sensational medal-winning selection of wines valued at $300, 2nd Prize: Dinner Party Dozen, 3rd: Six Bottle Mixed Case

When: Raffle books on sale now, drawn on 15.12.00, person notified by phone and wine delivered.

The IEU/APHEDA East Timor Appeal has already spent $40 000 directly on things like classroom materials, books, carpentry courses for school furniture-making, women's literacy project, Uni of East Timor library, ESL teachers. The union's appeal funds also assist in getting further funds from the bigger govt aid projects - a marvellous multiplier.

Appreciate you picking up a book to sell - we are looking to raise a quick $5000 before the end of the year. Remember, employers also drink. If you want a book or to committ $25 and go in the draw, please let me know and money can be given to me, Cheryl or Franca.
