GRAND TOUR OF SCOTLAND!

I have started back at work and Andy meanwhile is heading up North this week to visit his relatives in Fraserburgh and the surrounding areas. Thankfully, the children are now settled in their nursery - big thanks to mum and dad for all their help taking them to and fro! I have been breaking the news to my pupils that I will stop teaching them at the end of October. I have really enjoyed teaching piano in Perth-shire and will miss it very much. After having sold my piano, given away my keyboard, I am for the first time in my life piano-less! It's a weird feeling. The plan is to use the money from the piano sale to purchase a digital piano that I can use in America and further afield without the worries of humidity, tuning, and waking sleeping children!

We are aware that however much we would like to, it is is not going to be possible to visit all our contacts personally in the time we have left. Instead we have decided to arrange several MAF presentations in a few areas around Scotland in the hope that people would manage to attend one of them. Apologies to our English and American supporters - perhaps we can visit your home via Skype! Here are the details of where we will be during August/September.

31st Aug. - The Coffee House, Moodiesburn 8pm.
4th Sept. - Tummel Bridge Village Hall 8pm, 12 miles from Pitlochry.
5th Sept. - Pitlochry Baptist Church 11am at the morning service.
23rd Sept. - The Chapter House, Wesley Owen, Bothwell St. Glasgow. 8pm.
25th Sept. - My Grandma's House, West Linton, Invite Only.
26th Sept. - Friends House in Peebles - Invite only.

We are sending out personal invites in the post to all our contacts but anyone is welcome to come to the first four events above and hear all about the work MAF do, How we became involved, and how you can join us in this venture.

As you may be aware we have only NINE weeks left to raise our salary but would like to report we are over the half-way mark! Thanks to EVERYONE who has joined our financial support team so far.
