I have spent the last few evenings going through Quiz books from the library and cross-referencing questions with the internet to make sure my answers are all correct and up-to-date. I plan to finalise my quiz this evening, leaving tomorrow night free to go and decorate the function room with posters, banners and balloons, all advertising WaterAid.
I am really looking forward to the event although a little nervous about entertaining 30-40 people! I am not known for my quick wit I'm afraid! On top of my Quiz, I am holding a raffle and an auction. Raffle tickets will be sold for 50p or 5 for £2 and I have some great prizes up for grabs!
The latest raffle donation I have generously been given is a hardback copy of a book entitled "Dear Olivia", written by Valvona & Crolla director Mary Contini. Described online as "the real story of the determination, ambition and success of two immigrant families whose lives have remained irrevocably linked through unprecedented hardship, tragedy and loss..... Woven together from personal oral histories and extensive research, this is the
moving, startling and inspiring story of the founders of Valvona & Crolla". A truly inspirational read I am sure.
Mary also kindly signed the book for me today and generously added a £30 gift voucher to spend in store. Valvona & Crolla, an award-wining specialist Italian deli, wine merchant and café bar is an amazing cavern of Italian produce and well-known throughout the city. If you haven't been before or it's been a while I highly recommend you pay them a visit at one of the following locations in:
