To all the Bounce Trim gymnasts,
Hi guys,
Some of you may remember me, my name is Marita Lynam and I sometimes coach in Trim when I am available to help out. I am emailing you all to find out if people would be interested in a fun gymnastics day called gymfest. The purpose of this gymfest is to help raise money towards my volunteering this summer in Fiji where I will be taking part in an important sustainable community development project.
I am volunteering with a volunteering organisation called VESA and we’ll be working in conjunction with local villagers and the village chief to help build rain water catchment tanks to provide clean water to the community, to help restore the dilapidated school buildings and equipment, and we will be educating school children and members of the community about conservation, sustainability, health/hygiene and English proficiency.
The money I am trying to raise will assist in costs towards building materials and hiring local trades people to supervise the building projects. The money will also be going towards materials for a turtle conservation project where we aim to increase the population of the native sea turtles and to restore their reef to its native state.
Aura Trim has kindly provided the sports hall free of charge to hold gymfest on the 16th of July 2016 from 2-5pm. It will be a fun filled day with all your favourite gymnastics activities and games where you will hopefully get to see friends and practice and maybe learn some new gymnastics moves before class starts again in September! The cost of gymfest is €15 per gymnast, so if you are interested in gymfest, please register at maritakildufflynam@gmail.com as soon as possible!
Yours sincerely,
Marita Lynam.

Thank you to everyone who took part in the GymFest. Marita raised 350 euro for her volunteering.
A special thank you to Aura Trim who gave us the venue free of charge and to our coaches for giving their time.
