Webb Ivory Catalogue In 2006 anyone could view and buy the products and the commission went to our cause. We had a good response in 2006 and the catalogue "drop" raised £46.36.  For 2007 they specified that we had to do the catalogue "drop" and we  get to keep the commission as we go along which does reduce our chances but still we managed to raise approximately £26.00

 

Yellow Moon Catalogue-quote our reference SUN1062 anyone can still order from this catalogue. In January 2007 we received a cheque for £21.18 this was for the 2006 catalogue "drop".

 

Collection Boxes We had 40 collection boxes out but, some have gone missing or have been stolen! Despite that we still are very grateful to all who house them
and the public who put their money inside. THANK-YOU

Internet Support & Our New Web-site

Hopefully most of you are aware that UD has their group discussions primarily through their MSN Group. http://groups.msn.com/UnderstandingDifferences If you’ve gone to the link above, What's New shows the last 4 messages, but often we are sending more than that so you may miss something. The receiving of emails in the inbox isn’t always reliable so, its good practice to click on the link below as it takes you to the latest messages in date order-you can look at the boards that you know you have not seen since a certain date.

http://groups.msn.com/understandingdifferences/tipstousesite.msnw?all_topics =1
 

We also have our new web-site so please take a look and voice your opinion if need be as designing isn’t that easy after all! If you think something should be added or changed then let us know as it’s being put together. We are working on appropriate forums/discussion boards but, the old one is still active anyway. http://understandingdifferences.org.uk/
