Dear
Friends, We are very sad to tell you that we lost our beloved Pippin on Monday 23rd May, just two weeks after his 9th Birthday. He had a short illness but his kidneys just couldn't cope with it. To anyone that met him you will know that he was no ordinary cat, we feel like we have lost a good friend, he was just so much fun, and we were so lucky to have him. Sally painted this oil painting of him and wanted to share it with you. She calls it "Some of my favourite things" |

We
hope that you had a great Easter, some wonderful weather and a Royal
Wedding made it a happier and longer holiday for everybody. We worked
with some amazing Youngsters in the Avenue School in Reading to produce
a commemorative painting of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to celebrate
their marriage. The painting turned out wonderfully and we will put a photograph here as soon as we have one - well done to everybody that took part and what an amazing street party you had! |

Jon
Phillips, of Not for Profit Community Artists, Pippin's Designs, trekked
the Himalaya to Everest Base Camp.
Mount Everest is the worlds highest mountain - Jon's trek took him to a height of 18,500 feet, and took 16 days. He also managed to lose over three and a half stone and get very physically fit for the challenge. Each pound sponsored was allocated a raffle ticket and entered into a thank you raffle.
