KAR was one of the three charities benefitting from the Christmas Charity Swim, and here Kim Betts gives they give their report of the day the monies were declared. Fantastic result from a bunch of people who don't mind 'suffering' for the sake of others.
"The Catalkoy Christmas Charity Swim – what a result !
Tuesday January 13th was a cold and dreary day at Shayna Beach Catalkoy but people were gathering with smiles on their faces. It was the day that the monies raised by the Catalkoy Christmas Charity swim would be handed over to the 3 chosen Charities – Kyrenia Animal rescue, Karakum Special Needs School and Tulips. Only the organisers knew the total amount collected – but all would be revealed at the presentation.
Representatives were present from all 3 Charities as well as some of the swimmers, supporters and organisers of the swim .
Graham Fursman gave a short speech , on behalf of Barbara Fursman, thanking everyone involved , both on the frontline and behind the scenes, with the swim – then came the moment the amount was announced ......................... 13,080. 00 TL (Thirteen thousand and eighty TL).
What a fantastic result – individual cheques for 4360.00 TL were presented to each Charity representative – who were delighted and very grateful to have been chosen to benefit from the swim.
What a lovely start to the New Year for 3 very needy and worthwhile causes .Well done and thank you to everyone involved.
It certainly was a case of Splish Splash bringing in the Cash ! "
