Both years have been 'sold out' well before the actual day. Only 200 Tickets available. Bars visited some of the Charities, who have benefited where they saw, first hand, the results of our contribution. http://www.ladyboyreview.com/forum/index.php?/topic/1080-lb-event-of-the-year-october-27th-2012/?p=82064 More visits are planned so BMs can see what they have achieved. February 23rd. Handover of 250 Water4Life filters in a remote village in Chantaburi - only accessible by boat. 2013 was a huge breakthrough thanks to your support. We achieved an amazing 1 Million Baht which made a fantastic statement with worldwide media coverage. Can we do it again? With your help it is possible. We can, and do, make a difference to the Charities, the supporting bars and their staff. In 2013 we had our first Corporate sponsor. This year we will try to increase these bountiful types of contribution. Please advise if you know of a company, and their contact details, who would be a possible Corp Sponsor. Monthly Progress updates on Forums and, hopefully, the bars will update with photos of teams and Training days. The Event Day Program.

Look at the new Avatar...... There has been much discussion with the bars, and a number of other 'advisors', during December and January. A lot of comments and feedback which all had to be considered. We had 13 Bars show interest and fielding 10 teams was considered but discarded as too many matches and the strain on admin, and logistics, was deemed too great. So we will have 8 teams. A formula we know works. The date and participants, and a myriad of other items, all need to be finalized. Nearly there but no point going off 'Half Cocked'..... A major initiative will be to have the Bars collect Sponsorships, Donations and sell Tickets. This consumed too much of my time. We are also looking to obtain more Corporate type sponsors but it IS LadyBoys and prejudice still exists in a niche market. Meetings with Pattaya Mail, Tiffany, Colosseum have all taken place. More to progress. Some bars have visited (or are about to) the Charities who benefited so that they could see, first hand, how we help the community through the event.

In 2012 we gave a significant donation of 125,000 Baht to repair the roof in the School for the Deaf at Pattaya Orphanage. http://www.thepattayaorphanage.org/ The roof was getting damp and producing 'spoors' that was bad for the children who already have health problems. Pleased to say the work is 100% completed so representatives from TJs and LaBamba joined me for a visit. We had a huge tub of ice cream with cornets delivered - we were unsure how many children would be there. There was also some large packs of snacks, colouring books, pens, crayons and pencils. The children were delighted, thanking us all, and presented each bar with a token home made trophy Nok from La Bamba did a superb job of serving the ice cream. She claimed to have prior experience. The LaBamba pet dog mascot (Lena) was a big hit with the children - they cannot have pets at the Orphanage. Nancy, of LaBamba, did a great job as official photographer. Father Michael came to welcome us and his admin Siriphen gave us the tour to see how we had helped in 2012. It was a busy weekend as it was Children's Day, in Thailand, and the 40th Anniversary of the Orphanage. The Orphanage has over 160 Children, in their care, and have sent numerous children onto University. There are plans to have all the other competing bars visit the all the other Charities we contributed to in 2013. Visits are not only to show the results of the fund raising activity but also a reminder to all of us of those who need our help. For the Bars to visit those that they have helped is also a motivating experience and allows them to see their results. Life Home Trust - Jimbo, of C&D, has already done this in Phuket. Water4Life filters - Stringfellows, Kings Bar, will attend presentation of the in Chantanaburi in late February. Heart 2000 - Plans are in place to have BabyBoom and Sensations visit Dr Phillipe Suer Camillian Home Trust - Temptations & Cockatoo will visit near Bangkok Some photos: Roof Before and After. The new roof removed the glass panels and improved lighting Visiting group with some of the Children. Many of whom are not only Deaf but also suffer from other disabilities. Many thanks to LaBamba and TJs and all of you who helped in 2012.

We can make the Magic Million All costs have been paid apart from the Prize Money. This is an amazing result for what started out as a kind of quirky idea. Pattaya Mail are dumb struck.

We are now the 2nd Biggest 1 Day Fundraiser in Pattaya - we are NOT even a Charity we are fund raisers. LBWVB is grateful for all the support of so many BMs, this Forum, Rotary Club and so many others. It is your event and you made it happen. You have already made a difference. It is a very public display for support of all the LadyBoys in Thailand and what they can also do to help those less fortunate. Appreciate that we all need to behave correctly, on the day, as we have a unique opportunity to 'showcase' our LadyBoys in such a fantastic positive way. Many thanks

Dining Vouchers Bar vouchers Mystery item from Egypt - as yet I have no idea.... With each Team shirt there is also a signed copy of PaulTain's book which is a terrific amusing read.

Some terrific news: Following the success in 2012 it was strongly recommended, by legal counsel, that the Event become a correctly registered & recognized charity. Any fund raising, of of this kind and magnitude, in Thailand, may be viewed as employment. The Event is primarily organized as a Charity Fundraiser and to be a fun day out for all Following this advice LBWVB is now a recognised project within Rotary Club Eastern Seaboard. Has little impact on the event nor on the Charities selected. Any questions just send a PM or email to LBWVB@Hotmail.Com

Limited Edition Condoms for Sale at Participating Bars Warning: These are NOT for safe sex

This is the current list of 4 charities to benefit from our Charity event. It is planned to Contribute 125,000 Baht to each of the 4 nominated charities. Please help us achieve the financial target and many thanks for all your support. Who would have thought that a group of Forum mongers could have such big hearts, and achieve so much, all in one fun filled day. Truly amazing. You would feel honored to overhear some of the comments made from non-Forum people The original idea was to achieve 4 objectives: Raise money for worthy charities Improve the profile of ladyboys Promote the bars that provide the teams that make the event Have a fun day out Nobody can doubt we have, together, achieved what we set out to do. Pattaya Water4Life Project - Rotary Eastern SeaBoard, Pattaya. This was a successful donation last year and sees villages in Issan getting water filtration sytems that provide them with potable water. We all take drinking water for granted - they cannot. I would also like to acknowledge the amount of support given by Rotary Club both last year and this year Dr Phillipe Suer - this Doctor is a one man crusade - please see his site. http://www.heartt2000.org/ Bangkok Camillian Social Centre - the focus is on kids who have HIV through no fault of their own. http://www.camillian....org/what-we-do http://www.hiv-aids-...htshivaids.html Phuket Life Home Project - focus on HIV/AIDS Women and their children http://www.lifehomeproject.org/

The four Charities to benefit from the Lady Boy Water Volley Ball have been selected, contacted and promised each 125,000 Baht Pattaya: http://www.rotary-es...new/page30.html http://www.heartt2000.org/ Bangkok: http://www.camillian...latkrabang.org/ These are all wonderful Charities to support. Jim is finalising his chosen Charity in Phuket The buying power of our Donations is three times what it would be in the West. Many thanks to all the guys for Sponsoring and Donating - your generosity has been amazing. For you that have pledged support please confirm as soon as possible. Now we need to sell the remaining Tickets - available from your favourite bar. For more info www.lbwvb.com It will be a great day out for everyone involved - Bars, Teams, BMs and, of course, the Charities.
