The Tile4U scheme which was
recently launched to raise money to fund the
refurbishment work on the Formal Committee Room is
proceeding successfully. In fact, in just two weeks over €1500
have been collected thanks to several beneficiaries.
This means that over 75
tiles or one third of the whole board have been sold at
€20
each. Once all the 225 boxes are completed, a list with
the names and addresses of all the beneficiaries will be
engraved on a board and stored in the Musical Archive as
a way to reciprocate for the donations.
The Tile4U scheme aims to collect money
to fund the the marble floor area of the Formal Committee
Room which is being upgraded to host the Musical
Archive. A wooden board displaying
225 boxes has been placed in the main entrance
hall of the Club. Each box (or tile) represents part of
the marble floor area and is being sold at
€20.
Those who are interested in giving a donation of
€20
can leave the money with the barman or call / SMS Kevin Cauchi on 99459426.
