Blakes Lounge Bar and Bistro (Alsancak) event 28th June 2017
On 28th June 2017, Blakes Lounge Bar and Bistro (Alsancak) held an “Alternative” Quiz with all proceeds to Tulips/HTWCA.
This was something new for Tulips and all the guests at Blakes, however, the evening proved to be fun with “quizzers” asking when the next event would be!
In addition to raising money via the quiz, Blakes very generously donated 10TL from every meal enabling the grand total for the night to be 1,034TL!
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Blakes Lounge Bar & Bistro and to the two quiz masters of the night, Laurence Floyd and Steve Collard.
We also have to thank all those that attended especially as no-one of knew what an “alternative” quiz was going to entail, but were all willing to support Tulips.
Auriana Stevens
Auriana is a staunch supporter of Tulips/HTWCA, often providing us with raffle prizes from her ceramic crafts and arts and also donating a percentage of her takings to us.
For July only, Auriana will be running her stall (newly named Kids Spot) at the Saturday Lambousa Market, but with a difference. All goods sold will be aimed at children. These will include money boxes, skulls, gators, princesses, super hero tiles and wall plaques etc etc.
From the sale of each item 5TL will be donated to Tulips!
So, if you are looking for that gift that is a little bit different or are simply a collector of Super Hero, Princess, Gators etc please pop down and see what is on offer.
Many thanks
Sue and Carole
Tulips/HTWCA have a couple of thank yous plus an upcoming event
We have a couple of thank yous plus an upcoming event to tell you about:
Lemar Loyalty Card
On 13th June 2017, Lemar presented representatives of Tulips/Help Those With Cancer Association with a cheque for 5,775.10TL. This is the result of the Lemar/Tulips Loyalty card which was initially launched in March 2016 whereby everyone who presented their loyalty card to the Lemar cashier on payment for their goods would receive a discount of 3% themselves plus a further 2% of the total would be donated to Tulips. This did not include cigarettes, newpapers, magazines and most alcohol.
We had already received 2,250TL on the 24 August 2016, so to date this scheme has raised a fabulous 8,025.10TL.
We really need everyone who has a card to keep using it, as every item, however small you may think it is, this money going to help Tulips. It doesn’t matter how little your bill is as “every kuruş” counts, you are helping cancer patients.
Barbara Jenkins and Phil Chappell
Barbara Jenkins and Phil Chappell celebrated their engagement at the Amore Restaurant, Alsancak on Saturday 10th June. Barbara and Phil very kindly suggested to all their guests that they make donations to Tulips in lieu of gifts which would be much appreciated by both the newly engaged couple and the Tulips cancer patients.
Many congratulations to Barbara and Phil on their engagement and to all their guests for raising 614TL!
Alternative Quiz
Where the wrong answer could be the right answer!
We are looking for 15 teams of 4 people (max) to take part in this fun quiz and definitely not for professional quizzers.
Please reserve your table as space is limited. Please see the poster for further information.
Many thanks
Sue and Carole
