SUMMARY:Signpost Event: Birmingham St Mary's Hospice 40th Anniversary Gala Dinner
DESCRIPTION:‘Even if a patient cannot be cured\, they should be helped for free’ \nUpon retiring from her NHS nursing career in 1974\, Monica Pearce decided to use her knowledge to ‘enable anyone with a life-limiting illness to live their life to the full’. It was this determination to provide better pain relief and care that led to her idea of founding a hospice. ‘St Mary’s Hospice’ would be the first independent hospice in the Midlands and only the seventh nationwide. She envisioned it to be for people all faiths and none\, to support patients as well as loved ones\, and\, essentially\, to provide comfort for local people nearing the end of their lives. Pearce’s ambition was finally realised on March 5th 1979 when ‘St Mary’s Hospice’ admitted its first ever patient. She worked tirelessly to raise more than £350\,000\, and her commitment continued unwavering throughout her life. Monica’s legacy of providing the very best end of life care continues to inspire staff and volunteers every day. \nTo celebrate 40 years of hospice care in Birmingham we’re inviting you to join us for an evening of dinner and entertainment to continue Monica’s legacy and support more people who are living with a life limiting illness. \nDoors will open at 6.30pm where you’ll be welcomed with a drinks reception whilst you peruse our silent auction. From 7pm our CEO Tina Swani will walk you through how far we’ve come over the last 40 years\, the amazing things supporters like you have achieved and what the future looks like for palliative care in Birmingham. Dinner will be served at 8pm with entertainment\, raffles and games throughout before our live auction is held. We’ll finish with live comedy from brummie Queen of Fun Barbara Nice and musical entertainment before carriages at midnight. \nDress Code: Black Tie \nTickets: \nIndividuals – £79.00 (shared table of 10\, welcome drink\, 3 course meal and entertainment included) \nTwo People – £150.00 (shared table of 10 welcome drink\, 3 course meal and entertainment included) \nBronze Table of 10 – £750.00 (table of 10\, welcome drink\, 3 course meal and entertainment included) \nSilver Table of 10 – £850.00 (table of 10\, welcome drink\, 3 course meal\, drinks package and entertainment included) \nGold Tables of 10 – £950.00 (table of 10\, welcome drink\, 3 course meal\, VIP drinks package and entertainment included)  \nWe’re hoping to raise £30\,000 from this event\, this money will go a long way to improving more people’s experience of living and dying with a terminal illness. Your support is at the heart of this\, helping us to develop our care for current and future families – thank you. \nTo book your tickets visit the website.

SUMMARY:Signpost Event: Acts & Monuments Publication
DESCRIPTION:28 February 2019 sees the publication of Acts & Monuments\, the debut novel of local author and charity CEO\, Alan Fraser. Acts & Monuments is set here in the West Midlands\, and features our very own Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery – its art collection and even its wonderful tea rooms. It tells the story of perennial ‘good guy’ Barry Todd who works hard for Monument Housing Association providing the poor and vulnerable with a safe place to live. But\, overlooked for promotion and with mounting financial problems\, Barry starts to wonder if goodness will ever bring him its own reward. So when the opportunity presents itself to steal 50\,000 of Monument’s money without anybody being able to trace the theft back to him\, Barry finds himself wondering – if nothing bad were happy to anyone\, would being good really matter anymore? \nTo celebrate publication\, Alan is hosting a book launch on Thursday 28 February and is inviting Birmingham Civic Society members to join him for what promises to be a great evening. Guests will gather for nibbles from 6pm\, with the event kicking off at 6.30pm with a reading\, Q&A session\, FREE raffle to win a signed copy of the book\, and even a photo quiz to test your knowledge of Birmingham’s architecture. It’ll be lots of fun – and finished by 7.30pm. \nThe event will be held here in Birmingham. Venue details will be confirmed shortly\, once organisers have a clear idea of numbers. If you would like to attend please email Alan Fraser (alan-fraser2@sky.com) and Rowena Wilding (rowena.wilding@gmail.com )by Monday 10 February. \nEarly reviewers have loved the book:\n“Gripping… a real page-turner… I couldn’t put it down”\n“Well-written\, carefully structured\, meticulously researched\, and thoroughly readable… An impressive and polished debut novel.”\n“Gripping… I was hooked from page one.*****”\n“A really good read.*****”\n“I put down my latest Wilbur Smith to read this\, and I can honestly say I was not disappointed*****”. \nIf you haven’t already got your copy of Acts & Monuments you will\, of course\, be able to buy copies on the night. But if you can’t wait that long\, it is available from the publisher’s website now as either a paperback or ebook https://www.troubador.co.uk/bookshop/contemporary/acts-monuments/
