The Mayors Charity Work

I caught the Mayor out with his bucket on Crewe Square collecting for the Red Cross on Saturday and we were amused as the Sentinal photographer had him waving his bucket as if he was doing the Conga. He reminded me of the invite to his special evening

The Mayor and Mayoress of Crewe and Nantwich

Most cordially invite you to purchase tickets to attend their fabulous ‘Auction of Promises’ gala evening, the proceeds of which will go towards the

Mayor’s Lifelong Learning Charity. The theme of the evening will be ‘Rocks, Frocks
and Dickie Bows’ and will include a welcoming drink, a lavish 3 course meal and live
entertainment. This extravaganza will take place at the luxurious Crewe Hall on 30th January 2009.

Proceeds from the evening will go to the Mayor’s Charity. The theme for the Mayor’s Charity is Lifelong Learning and it is supported by: MMU Cheshire South Cheshire College Reaseheath College Wulvern Housing

This splendid evening will explode with excitement as our ‘Rocks, Frocks and Dickie Bows’ extravaganza gets under way.

This is an ‘Auction of Promises’, which boasts promises which money can’t buy… but you can! The Auction will raise money for the Mayoral Charity fund of Lifelong Learning, and once you have bagged your bargain you can carry on enjoying the remainder of the evening by singing along and dancing to our live entertainment.

This is a glittering gala evening that really should not be missed. All the best people will be there… including The Worshipful the Mayor and his Mayoress of course!

The dress code is as it says - Rocks, Frocks and Dickie Bows. Ladies, this is your chance to really dress up, and show off those sparklers Santa left in your Christmas stocking! (The gentlemen can too if they wish!)
