Carla goes for a record!

Some of you might remember Carla Woods. She has been a member for many years and has attended lots of events including performing in the Galway Christmas concerts.

Carla is disabled and she never ceases to amaze me with her incredible attitude to life. She has done many fantastic things and the next one she is planning really impresses me. Read below what she has to say and please consider donating something to this worthwhile cause.

I am planning to carry out a Flute playathon to raise funds to rebuild a campsite for people with disabilities in Farnham, Surrey. I have attended this campsite since 1964 and now help with organising of the annual weeks stay for the group I go with called Pathfinders.

The Website is as follows:- .www.woodlarks.org.uk. The rebuild fund is called Project Woodpecker and a link to Charity Choice is on the site for those who wish to donate towards the rebuild.

The duration of my Flute playathon will be a total of 11 hours and will take place at the venue in August. Every donation received will help with the rebuild which will in turn provide many people with special needs the experience of camping which provides self esteem, experience and pleasure, not mentioning friendship.

I have been told that my endeavours could possibly set a new world record according to the Guinness Book of Records but I am not advertising that fact in case it doesn’t work out. If I achieve the record for playing the Flute for 11 hours I will of course let you know.

I hope you are able to help as the campsite do hold an annual music camp by a group called Woodland Music which I have also attended.

Thanking you in advance.

Regards

Carla
