C&D from Phuket will not be making an appearance this year due to travel costs and impact on business.
Even though Jim's team will not be playing he has pledged his onging support from the SkyLab. Terrific help.
Big thanks to Jim for all his support in 2102/2013 - not least supporting the volley ball net all day in 2012!

Please help build on the extraordinary success of 2012 and 2013.
Both years have been 'sold out' well before the actual day. Only 200 Tickets available.
Bars visited some of the Charities, who have benefited where they saw, first hand, the results of our contribution.


More visits are planned so BMs can see what they have achieved.
February 23rd. Handover of 250 Water4Life filters in a remote village in Chantaburi - only accessible by boat.

2013 was a huge breakthrough thanks to your support.
We achieved an amazing 1 Million Baht which made a fantastic statement with worldwide media coverage.

Can we do it again? With your help it is possible.
We can, and do, make a difference to the Charities, the supporting bars and their staff.

In 2013 we had our first Corporate sponsor. This year we will try to increase these bountiful types of contribution.
Please advise if you know of a company, and their contact details, who would be a possible Corp Sponsor.

Monthly Progress updates on Forums and, hopefully, the bars will update with photos of teams and Training days.

I'll be there. I think the increase in ticket price is fair. It's a day/evening long event, and the food was pretty impressive, not to mention the buffet of ladyboys on display. 

[thailover57]

Okay, I'll be there, or at least my money will be. (Pneu-freaking-monia) last year.

Quick update.

 

Visiting a village in Chantaburi to deliver 250 Water Filters for the Rotary Club project "Water4Life" this weekend.

To give you an idea the village is only accessible by boat - Indiana Jones style trip.

MiniVan to Chantaburi

Travelling up river by Fishtail boat with 250 Water Filters and a number of charity supporters.

Individuals cover their own expenses.

 

Many villages, in rural Thailand, do not have a reliable clean drinking water supply and there is no floating 711 nearby!

 

Rotary (as a recipient last year) nominated this village to show and thank us for our contribution.

LBWVB gets support from Rotary and were looking for a specific Project that we could have ownership of - the Water4Life fitted well.

 

So travelling with two team members from both Stringfellows and Kings Bar.

It is terrific to have the LB staff join us so that they too can see what they achieve through our outrageous fund raiser.

 

TJs and LaBamba joined the visit to the Orphanage, in January, to see the new roof on the Deaf school.

 

LBWVB took a 15 litre tub of ice cream and the staff from the bars arrived (last as usual) with fresh fruit, colouring books, crayons and other great items.

 

That is a real sign of committment from the participating bars.

It also show where the money was used in a very visible way.

The teams make the actual day and event.

Through them we need Sponsors, Donations, Ticket buyers.

 

When this all started it was seen as whacky and doomed to fail.

 

Pattaya Mail were stunned that, a little known about community, can challenge some of the bigger more established fund raisers.

LBWVB did an interview, for Pattaya TV, a month before the event and the closing question was:

 

"How can people buy a ticket"

The answer was

"We are sold out!"

The interviewer laughed and said

"Why are we doing the interview.....?"

 

The objectives have always been:

• Raise money for charity at the lowest cost
• Improve the image of the LBs
• Promote the participating bars through positive publicity
• Have a fun filled day and evening together.

In each of the 2 prevous years the event has over achieved and it is hoped that, with a solid reputation behind us, we can really make a difference in 2104.

 

You can help make that difference.

Many of you helped raise the 1,000,000 Baht.

 

This is how it was spent.

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of needy Charities so selection is difficult and emotional.
A few BMs asked that we lean our support to charities closer to the LB community.

 

Heartt2000 is a Clinic based in Pattaya that provides medication for free.

 

Sensations and Baby Boom selected the Heartt2000 project for their follow up visit - thanks to Scott and Josh.

HIV is a daily risk so 3 charities were associated with that infection - the 4th Charity was Water4Life:

Life Home Trust in Phuket is for women and children with HIV - thanks to Jimbo for his report:

http://www.lbwvb.com...th-Oct-2013.pdf

 

Camillian Homes takes care of disabled children, Mentally and Physically handicapped, which also includes some HIV cases.

This is the last Charity to be visited - Team Temptations/Cockatoo are planning soon.

Thanks

[Rossco]

A follow up of each and every Charity, to benefit, was promised and now we have the last Visit to Camillian Homes.

 

What a fantastic contribution - many thanks.

 

Still looking for some generous sponsors this year.

We have some very worthy Charities proposed and those will be announced later.

 

Many thanks to Temptations/Cockatoo for managing the team visit.
