Auction to raise funds for Earthquake affected friends in Le Marche.

Save the Date! Sunday 19th March at 9 am Italy time! Running for one full week and ending on Sunday 26th March at 11.30 pm Italy time

We have amazing donations for the auction… From original works of art to fantastic breaks in Italy and England! There are tours, workshops, wine tastings, vintage items, designer goods, Umbrian wine and more, all ready for your bids!
We hope to raise as much as possible for Mark and Sarah so they can purchase a mobile home or caravan. (Local laws have not been relaxed and wooden chalets – their first choice for a temporary home – require planning permission. At the time I am writing this it is impossible to get the planning permission in time. We are hoping for a relaxation in the rules to allow folk to help themselves and then apply for PP retrospectively.)
ATTENTION WINNING BIDDERS!!
For the wonderful folk who join in with this extraordinary event, Sarah and Mark are offering a chance to win a fantastic 7 day holiday at their gorgeous place, The Hideaway. This is a very special Thank You from them. Each winning bid will be assigned a number and all numbers will go into a hat for a random draw. Your winning number means you get to stay at The Hideaway in Le Marche, Italy as special guests of Sarah and Mark (and Jessie, their beautiful dog!). So the more you win, the more numbers go in the hat for you!

With the temporary accommodation in place, they will be able to be on-site for their holiday accommodation – a legal requirement to be able to run their business. Once they have their temporary living space set up, they are both looking forward to being the perfect hosts for your memorable and fabulous Le Marche vacation!
Raising Funds To Feed The Displaced Pets Of The Italian Earthquake
With the new base, they will also find it much easier to continue their fantastic work helping to rescue, feed and care for the earthquake affected animals in the ‘Red Zone’ in central Italy. They have been a driving force, raising funds and awareness, helping OIPA (Organizzazione Internazionale Protezione Animali) and delivering critical supplies. They opened a fund for the animals the day after the earthquakes hit last August. The work still continues and Mark and Sarah continue to work alongside the emergency services despite their own difficulties.
