This is our
first Newsletter of the New Year and I hope
you all enjoyed Christmas and will have a
Happy and prosperous 2000.
It is only a short news sheet really to
remind you all that our first get-together of
the 21st century will be from 2 p.m. until
4p.m. on
15th January at The Island Volunteer Centre,
39 Quay Street, Newport.
We are still awaiting news with regard to a
new venue for our get-togethers and as soon
as we have confirmation we will let you all
know.
EVENTS PLANNED
This year we are proposing to commemorate
Incest Awareness Day on the 2nd April and
again will let you know when details have
been finalised.
We are pleased to hear that Funtasia will
possibly take place in July despite having to
be cancelled last year due to lack of
support. As usual we will use this event as
one of our fundraising days. It is
anticipated that we will do our usual tombola
but if anyone has any other ideas please let
us know.
Our other fundraiser is a jumble sale and
this will also have to be planned carefully
as prices of hiring halls are getting
expensive and help scarce and we need to know
we can get enough help at these events to
make them viable.
We have a lady who is willing to do a
sponsored bike ride in the Summer, and if any
of you are prepared to join her, please write
and let us know, as I am sure she would
prefer the company.
If you can help at any or all of the above,
or you have any other ideas regarding
fundraising then, please let us know in
writing, letting us know what event you would
be happy to participate in.
Also in April we hold our Annual General
Meeting (time and venue to follow at a later
date.)
OTHER NEWS
It was sad to hear that the charity ASCSA has
had to close their support and as ICAIR no
longer have a listener on the Island it is
even more important that JIG-SAW continues
its support for survivors. Jig-Saw is run by
survivors for survivors and need you to
enable them to continue.
Janet is hoping to set up a core committee,
meeting at regular intervals and putting
heads together and if needed bouncing ideas
of one another and off the walls if
necessary. This will hopefully make running
of Jig-Saw better and a successful group for
you all.
In the meantime - TAKE CARE
