Villers-la-Ville, it’s the members of the children’s council who contribute to this good cause, supported by Youth Service and Alderwoman Anne-Michèle Pierard.
To make the fundraising more effective and visible, even though actions are taken every year, the money is accumulated and then given every two years to Télévie. This allowed, during the last edition, to hand over a check of 11,500 euros to the operation’s leaders. Not bad for a small town!
However, there is no question of stopping there. The mobilization continues, and this Saturday evening, a “Télévie” meal was offered to the people of Villers in the CRCS hall of Tilly.
The members of the children’s council were on hand, especially to sell operation goodies and present three small acts during the evening. Youth Service and volunteers from the municipal administration lent a hand, and it was necessary: no less than 220 people had signed up for the meal, about forty more than last year.
Prizes were also obtained to offer a tombola to increase revenues, and the president of the Télévie commission of the FNRS, Professor Arsène Burny – who is also originally from Mellery – was invited to the evening.
During the meal, the organizers also received the money collected locally through the sale of cards and bookmarks at the Villers book fair, on February 1st. With a remarkable result: a check for 841 euros.
This is enough to fuel the operation’s counter and this is not the end. Discussions are ongoing to add, during the year, a more “fun” public activity. The organizers already have some ideas, but they still need to refine them.
