SUMMARY:Objectivity VII
DESCRIPTION:What are these things? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nObjects\, that’s what. Exhibited\, with their fascinating histories\, at our last OBJECTivity evening. \nThis is another opportunity to show off your fine china\, family heirlooms or just\, well\, bits of rock! \nHere are Ireen’s words of enticement again: \nDear Interesting People\, \nThat covers all COPSErs\, one way or another!  We’re such a mixed bunch and with so many different experiences.  Resulting from these\, we must have a wide range of items that would tell a tale of family\, travels\, mysteries\, or hobbies.  This week at our hall objects will be the activity we shall share.   \nPlease bring along anything that you could explain a little about.  This may be something of its history or its sentimental or monetary value.  It might be something amusing or perhaps be an object so unusual that others may not even know what it is – or maybe you don’t know yourself but another Member might be able to identify it for you!   \nPlease bring one to three objects to entertain us and pass them to me at the start of our evening.  If you have extras\, these could also be brought and kept aside\, in case time allows us to explore a few more things.  (Of course\, audience required to enjoy the collection so please come along\, even if you have no objects this time.)  However\, this weekend might afford time for many to find something! \nTeas and coffees between 7.45pm and 8.00pm. \nRegards\, \nIreen Best (07968 035522)

SUMMARY:ShelterBox "Mystery Auction"
DESCRIPTION:Happy New Year! Welcome to 2027! \nThe occasion is\, of course\, our annual Mystery Auction\, where we have some fun raising cash for our pet charity\, Shelterbox. \n\n\n\n\nIf you’re not familiar with Shelterbox have a look at their website\, https://shelterbox.org/.\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nWhat you can do is to \n\nwrap up your goods (unwanted and/or valuable)\n\nand/or \n\nturn up\, enjoy the banter\, and above all place your bids for the mystery parcels.\n\n  \nDon’t worry if you can’t contribute items\, just come along and enjoy the evening. \nFor the uninitiated\, here are Ireen’s words of explanation from her email: \nDear All\, \nFor our “Mystery Auction”\, please spend a few mins in advance\, wrapping your duplicated or unloved objects (rapping\, as you do so\, is optional!) and pass them to me from 8.15pm on Tuesday.  Household / kitchen appliances in good condition – (perhaps never used\, even if intentions were good!) could also be rehomed.  IF there is a content of particularly high value\, you can add a label with a reserve or start price on – likewise\, if the item is only suitable for a male or female recipient.  However\, part of the fun is sometimes when bids disregard the latter\, e.g.\, when Chris T. became the new owner of a lovely\, silky camisole!  (He happily gifted this to a female friend!!) \nWrapping paper need not be new – any kept from opening your own received presents\, be they Xmas\, birthday etc. will be good.  If you have some items to donate but cannot manage to come along in person\, please let me know and I hope I can help by collecting beforehand. \nRe my title\, “Lightening Your Load”: bulging wallets and purses can be brought through the door and you can benefit by carrying them away with far less weight in them!  Also\, please remember that our 2025 techy advance gave us a card machine\, although chequebooks could still be brought!  Once again\, Treasurer Bob will kindly be managing the finance for the evening. \nA quote from the ShelterBox website: \nEMERGENCY DISASTER RELIEF \nFamilies are facing a bitter winter in make shift shelters\, struggling to survive:\nSupporting communities in crisis \nRight now\, over 120 million people around the world have been made homeless by disaster and conflict. ShelterBox is working to change this. \nBy providing emergency shelter and tools for families robbed of their homes by disaster\, we’re transforming despair into hope. \nWe want to see a world where no family is left without shelter after disaster. Join us. \nRegards\, \nIreen Best (079868 035522)
