Our launch night was held at the Old Dehli Eatery on Oxford Street, Southampton and was our way of establishing ourselves as a new fundraising committee. Anxious to get off to a decent start, we had an auction and raffle planned which would take place towards the end of the evening following a sumptious array of assorted dishes.
The night kicked off with a welcome and introduction speech by our chairlady explaining what our aims were and the work Naomi House does.
Our guest of honour, The Mayor of Eastleigh Mrs Pamela Holden-Brown, drew our raffle before committee members David and Michael acted as comperes for the auction, taking bids for donations from Fleming Park Leisure Centre, Platinum Nails, Chris Huhne MP, MBE Portsmouth and The Solent Steam Packet.
The evening was finished off with a photo opportunity with the whole committee, Mrs Holden-Brown and the cutting of a celebratory cake, We raised £345.10.
