Christmas Bazaar and Party

We finished the year with good proceeds of two events.

At 13 and 14 December ACT was present on the Christmas Bazaar in Limenas, organized by the International Friends of Thassos.
Since we have our stand we can display our handicraft products in an attractive way and we really sold very well and even got some special orders to make things. It was also good to talk to known people as well as new people and get them interested in our work.


At 20 December we had our 2nd Christmas Party. Although there were not enough volunteers available to organize and cook everything ourselves like we did last year, we decided it was important to have another party where our volunteers and supporters could meet and enjoy. So we talked to Nikos of Hakuna Matata in Potos and he was so nice to offer us a special price for food and drinks. He and Desi prepared a very nice buffet, there were plenty of drinks and mulled wine.
We had put up our stand and sold some of our products and there was a raffle with donated prizes.
We were told that everyone has enjoyed their selves, so it looks like this is going to be an annual event.


The total result of these happenings was € 577 and we are very pleased with that. It means that we can go on with our very important cat sterilization project.
The last month already 15 cats were sterilized and although it sometimes is a slow process (you can only catch so many cats per day and the vet has to be able to do his 'normal' work as well) we will go on with that as long as we have enough money.

We would like to thank everyone who donated, supported and helped in any way the last year and we hope that we can count on you next year.

We wish you all a merry Christmas and 
a good, healthy and animal friendly new year!
