Days off booked! Countdown begins...yay!

[rxpharm]

Excellent stuff northernguy222, you will have a great time, and possibly meet up with Crag as he's planning to be in LOS during that time.

T-Girl Forums Annual Trip

Thanks RX...actually I hope to join Crag as he organized a trip there last year on his other forum and I would definitely go if it happens again.

I've immensely enjoyed reading all the trip reports here (both old and new) and can't wait to go enjoy my own experience...and perhaps be able to submit my own TR.

I have no problems travelling by myself, but to be able to get helpful advice in person from Crag or other experienced BM's would be extremely helpful.

I doubt I will organize any type of group trip this year, but I plan to be going to the event and buying some tickets and sponsorship. So you are more than welcome to join me.

Sounds great Crag, really looking forward to it...and in the words of Dustin Hofffman from the movie Rainman..."of course I'm an excellent wingman"

Many thanks to all those generous people that have contributed so far.

Minimum 1,000 Baht/player in prize money to compensate their time and personal expense
Prizes for best Cheerleader squad (max 6 per squad) - winners invited to the evening.
Miss LBWVB award - to be confirmed.
Entertainment - hopefully a pleasant surprise.
Free raffle included in the Entry ticket
Auction of unique items - with the help of a professional auctioneer!
Limited to 200 daytime tickets 150 Evening. In 2014 there were just too many, to cater for, with the weather.

Actual final contribution, to Charity, is obviously dependent on funds actually raised.
LBWVB has already pledged up to 200,000 Baht to each of 3 Charities who are very grateful and able to make plans.

Pattaya Orphanage
Baan Gerda - Lopburi - Orphanage for children with HIV
Bamboo School - Kanchanaburi - Orphanage on the Myanmar/Thailand border

The Charities are attending the evening, to receive their cheques which gives you an opportunity to meet them.

LBWVB raises funds so that these Charities can carry out significant infrastructure projects.

LBWVB has already achieved a great deal, since 2012, over 3 non-profit Events:

2,877,000 Baht Gross raised
441,000 Baht Expense (15%)
2,225,000 Baht Charity - see below for a detail.
211,000 Carry forward to 2015

• 125,000 - Pattaya Orphanage €“ The Deaf school - new roof and repairs.
• 750,000 - Camillian Trust €“ helped to build the new extension to accommodate more children.
• 750,000 - Heartt 2000 €“ Dr Phillipe not only treats HIV patients but has helped get the Thai medical system to treat patients more early which is both more economic and helps the patient.
• 350,000 - Water4Life provided 100 + 250 Water filters that provided drinking water to 350 families in a remote areas. 250 in a Mangrove swamp region near Chantanaburi
• 250,000 - Life Home Project in Phuket helping single mothers and their children.

Many people independently help all these Charities with Food, Gifts and treats (thanks to Hua Hin for his own personal example) but many of the Charities need larger sums to make a real long term difference.

As an example. Food is an enormous help but they may also need a fridge and a stove/cooker.

Sample projects: New dormitory, Roof, wash rooms, class rooms, water pumps, medication, bedding, clothing.

These items are more expensive and require significant funds often beyond a personal donation.

By grouping all our efforts together a 'longer lasting' difference can be made.

Pattaya Orphanage (Siriphen is the international coordinator) recognizes that they are fortunate to be in a city where there are my paneople who come to visit, with gifts and contributions, but they still need larger sums to invest for the ongoing future care. Pattaya Orphanage need 275,000 Baht towards resurfacing access and playing areas.

Baan Gerda and Bamboo School are more remote orphanages, that do not operate in large towns, so get much less contribution. They really need our help.

Bamboo school plans to use this year's funds for a Library and computer room. Education is a significant step out of poverty and isolation. If they have sufficient funds then they will also improve security lighting. A team from the US are providing a volunteer workforce in November so our contribution come just in time - materials etc.

Recently there was a report explaining that, when times are hard, Bamboo School budget 6 Baht per child per meal. Sometimes just Rice and Pineapple. This orphanage is in a remote area few of us have ever seen and run by a 65 year old lady, called Catherine, who also needs to fend off thieves and people attempting to molest the children.

Baan Gerda need help with Medicine, Schooling and other basic needs - bedding, clothing. Visit planned soon.

Many Orphanages already get help with food but that still leaves them unable to improve the amenities so desperately required.

LBWVB provides us all with an opportunity to accumulate smaller contributions into an amount, which they would never probably receive from an individual, so that these charities can use it for a significant project.

LBWVB seeks out Charities with a specific need normally beyond individual contributions.

Thanks are due to all the, mainly silent, individuals that personally help all these charities - without your basic support they could not continue their day to day work.

Food, Ice creams, Apples, Toys, Sports equipment all help - but they are, in many cases, short term treats.

Every recipient charity is asked to submit a project of how they will use our joint contribution.
A visit & 'follow up' report will be published to show how they have actually used the funds.

These visits are freely done to demonstrate, in a visual way, how your donations were actually used.

LBWVB keeps costs of the event to about 15% covered by Tickets (Direct and Sponsor).

Nobody is expected to subsidize a party nor does it produce a profit for the organizers nor the participants.
No Professional services, nor miscellaneous, nor out of pocket, expenses are charged.
Auction & Raffle items and Team gifts are donated freely.

The auditor, from 2014, has agreed to perform the independent external audit for 2015.

The Event does not compete with commercial venues and, probably, helps generate more business for them.
It provides an opportunity, only once per year, to support Charity through LBs. That still leaves 364 days for parties.

Daytime is 1.00pm to 5.00pm.
The evening Event starts at 7.00pm and finishes at 10.30pm allowing attendees to still visit the bars.

Many thanks

Update

Apologies for lack of updates over the past few weeks.

LBWVB 2015 is

'Sold Out'.

In fact it is oversold so some renegotiation was required with the Hotel.
All is in order and the event is on Target to raise 750,000 Baht between the 3 nominated Orphanages.

People may still make donations but there are no more tickets available.

As before all expenses (Hotel, Printing and Prize money) have been restricted to 15% of overall income.
All expenses are more than covered by Tickets - both direct Ticket sales and Sponsors attending.

Nobody is subsidizing a party. Proceeds go to Charity.

There are 5 teams confirmed for the event.

Blue Dolphins, Pink Panthers, Purple People Eaters, Red Dragons, Yellow Canaries.

Stringfellows will sadly not be participating.
This also means that all teams will 'play off' in a 'round robin' tournament of 10 Matches of 5 Rounds.

After the amazing impact of Check In bar, last year, all teams will have Cheerleader squads to add to the carnival atmosphere.

Many thanks to all the supporters for this year.

Hopefully we can report back, as in previous years, on how the money was used, by each orphanage, in January.

The event contributes, in percentage terms, more than most Charity fund raisers because people give their time and donations willingly.

Terrific result and all down to our 'niche community' and some very positive company sponsorship.
Look forward to meeting all of the attendees - support your team.

All right then, I'm all set with 4 tickets.
Only 3 of us going so far so I should be able to make good deal for the other one.

A few less teams, maybe there is room next year for a Canadian ladyboy squad, hehehe.
