So here are a few more pictures to record the event.
1. Margaret Sentamu, our guest speaker and opener, with us - Christopher and Mary Jenkin.
2. The display showing the "story so far" of the Kasese Street Kids hostel; and a stand of colour photographs of African children, which were for sale (but no one bought any!)
3. Some of the guests at the Preview gathering to hear the speakers and see the Presentation; in the foreground are Margaret Sentamu and Carol Allen Storey (the photographer) chatting.
4. The photograph of the boy holding the baby, which was the one we used on all the publicity for the Exhibition, and which we had blown up to AO size - almost four feet high.
5. The crowd enjoying the wine, canapes and chat.Was it worth it?
Many people saw the Exhibition during the four weeks it was in Kendal Parish Church - not only the regular Sunday congregations (who, we are told, were very interested and appreciative), but also the many who attended baptisms, weddings and funerals; those who attended concerts and seminars and other such events in the church; and the casual visitors who dropped in to see the church - though there were fewer such people in the later autumn than during the main tourist season. And, of course, there were those who had seen the publicity, and decided to visit the Exhibition, like the unfortunate late-comer!
The bottom line...
How much money was raised?
Given at the Preview: £1,600
Received since the Preview: £575.
Promised but not yet received: £580.
Yes, I think it was worth it!
