Friends of Kirn Appeal
November 2017
Dear Friends of Kirn,
Once more the year has flown past and 2017 has certainly been a very busy one for EnviroKirn A.G. There were some changes to our Committee
as some of our wonderful members had to step down due to work or family commitments. We are very grateful to everyone who has helped over the
years to make our group so successful. Fortunately, there were a few enthusiastic residents who stepped into the breach and helped us regroup.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of sufficient volunteers, we were unable enter this year's Beautiful Scotland competition. The criteria for
Beautiful Scotland is very specific. The judging covers Horticultural Achievement; Environmental Responsibility and Community Participation.
Each year we are expected to sustain the previous year's performance and grow across the criteria with new and innovative projects. This year
it was a struggle to maintain Kirn's horticultural achievement at the Silver Award level gained in 2016. Luckily, with the help of many young
groups in the community, we were able to extend our planting schemes beyond the esplanade and reach further into Kirn. There has been extensive
planting of the flower beds and planters around Kirn by volunteers of all ages, who kept working despite the weather. A big thank-you to all who
helped to make a difference, especially Kirn Primary School pupils and pupils from DGS Hostel who did beach cleans and Litter picks.
With your donations last year, we have also been able to tackle several large projects. We increased the number of self-watering planters
available to the Friends of Kirn who Adopted a Planter. Also new information lectern depicting Kirn Past and Present was installed in the shore
gardens.
As with any area, there are always things needing improvement and we rely on your financial support to make a difference.
Your generous donations help make Kirn a nicer place to live so please help by donating to our cause. We can claim Gift Aid on your donations.
To enable this please complete the declaration on the reverse of this letter. This can add an additional 25p onto every £1 you donate, at no
extra cost to yourself.
On the reverse of this letter, you can also volunteer to help EnviroKirn if you wish and we are always grateful
for any help at litter picks, beach cleans, planting, etc. Any ideas of how to improve Kirn are also most welcome. We really want as many people
as possible to get involved.
Thanks are also due to the local businesses that support us throughout the year with their time, free labour,
equipment hires, etc. We are also very grateful to the kind customers who pop their change into the collection box in the Variety Store! It all
adds up
Keep up to date with our activities on Facebook and through our newsletter and web page.
With our sincere thanks and best
wishes.
