September 2010

In my capacity as the new Chairperson of the Philanthropic Committee and in light of the of our Clubs 50th Anniversary I would like to inform you about the fi rst Fundraising Event of the club year 2010/2011.

At the luncheon October 12, 2010 we will support the “MinStoraDag” Foundation. The goal of “MinStoraDag” (“My Big Day”) is to grant wishes to critically ill children (3-18yrs) who are suffering from life-threatening diseases. The foundation’s work is unique as each child is actively involved in planning his or her own wish.

What makes “MinStoraDag” unique is that, with the cooperation of Sweden’s University Hospitals, the child’s primary physician, working with the child and their family, refers the children and their wishes to the foundation which in turn helps making their wishes come true! “MinStoraDag” is very fortunate to have Her Royal Highness, Princess Madeleine, as its patron, who is very engaged and regularly visits the children at the hospitals.
To highlight the Fundraising Luncheon, a fabulous Fashion Show by Sweden’s bestknown fashion designer Lars Wallin will be arranged. His fashion house celebrates its 20th Anniversary, and Mr. Wallin takes this opportunity to substantially support this event.

Having said this, the club, your club is counting on each and every one of you to help and make this luncheon a success and hopes for a big turnout and avid sponsoring! Apart from buying lottery tickets at the luncheon we are thankful for contribution of good lottery gifts. If you cannot attend the Luncheon you are most welcome to send a donation, please use the IWC’s Bankgiro 269-2770 for your contribution to this charity and state your name or your company’s name.

Do not hesitate to contact me by phone or email.
