70's Chocolate Fun-do (Fondue) - Oxfam Trailwalker Fundraiser

Sophie Allen — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 06:03:57 GMT

Come one and all to fun-do times at Sophie's 70's Chocolate Fondue

Sunday the 24th Feb. 7pm (turn up round then or miss out on the fun-do)

26 Ellora St, Ngaio, Wellington (out in the 'burbs). Walk, Carpool, take bus 43 or 44, or train to Ngaio Station then walk 10 mins from there...but get a map!

The Deal: I will provide the chocolate sauce. You guys will bring the stuff to dip......and/or some money as a donation to my Oxfam Trailwalker team or donate online (see below). I'll have an Italian staying with me who I don't know- So be nice to him!

DIPPER IDEAS: Apple, nectarine, banana, turkish delight, marshmallows, dried apricots, lollies, scorched almonds (good, but hard to get on the fork), white chocolate chunks, BE INVENTIVE

The Theme: Raging Hippy, tree-hugging hippy, band groupie, discoqueen, pornstar, pyschdelic drugie, Vietnam war veteran, - Dress up in whatever the decade of the 70's means to you- when fondue was a raging trend.

RVSP to sophie.allen@maf.govt.nz so that I know how much chocolate and cream to buy! But come if you haven't RSVP'd anyway. Let me know if you are vegan or dairy-intolerant and I'll get some coconut cream instead.

Hope to see lots of people here!

The Fundraising Bit: My team, the mighty Mountain Mules (with my sister and her husband) are going to be walking and jogging the 100km in Taupo in April for the Oxfam Trailwalker. To help with the excrutiating suffering of our feet after the event, we need to know that our pain has helped raised funds for depressed Conglese orphans with leprosy, syphilis and that have no feet....... well, maybe helped build some water wells anyway!

We are obviously not as cool as Team Blue (Timmy, Sarah, Kit) who have already scabbed you for money for this good cause, but that just means we have to beg that little bit harder. Here is the link if you want to give/ or pledge money to our team online: http://www.oxfam.org.nz/events/teams.asp?a=show_team_pages&eventid=15&teamid=3105

You can see that we really are desparate...I donated money to get us off the $0 mark.
