WHAT DOES FIG DO?

F.I.G. stands for the Fethiye International Group. “International” because we are supported by people of  many nationalities.

Our aims are simple … ‘To promote the education and welfare of children in the locality of Fethiye, through fund raising and voluntary activities.’  We do this through various activities and provide help ranging from bursaries for university students to books for village schools.
Sue Tekin, Chair.  Contact details:- mob: 0536 322 2475 tel 665 5255  email info@figfethiye.org

BOOK NOW FOR OUR SEPTEMBER BOAT TRIP

We had a wonderful day out earlier this summer on our own boat trip.  Lunch/tea especially was delicious with much of what we had being home-made.

Our second day out around the islands, but avoiding as far as possible other boats, will be on Saturday September 30th.  There will be an extra special lunch again and to reserve your place, telephone either Jill on 0535 494 7506 or Gilly on 0538 553 5823.

SON OF FIG!

Thanks to the good offices of Mandy at The Lycian Centre in Hisarönü, we now have another place where you can donate any unwanted items of clothing or just items you no longer need or use.  Already we have received more than 200 lira and we know more is to come.  Go and see them if you’re in that area – Ataturk Caddesi, at the back of Lycian Homes.  Just around the corner from the Lycia Centre.  They are open seven days a week, Mandy Hughes is the manager and Natasha, Terri and Glenn help her.  Between them, they have a wide range of goods, especially holiday goods, for sale.  And if your holiday is nearly over, and you have odds and ends you don’t want to take back to the UK then please bring them to Lycian Homes in Hisarönü.

BOOK EXCHANGE

A note especially for our summer visitors.  Many of you bring books with you for holiday reading; you can exchange them at the FIG library for just one lira for a new book to read or, if you don’t want to take a book back home, please consider donating your book to our library.  The book exchange is very popular so new titles are always sought.

BOOKS FOR SALE

FIG has 3 books for sale, the first is our Turkish cookery book, drawn up from an earlier cookery course, at only 5 lira an excellent way to learn some of the secrets of the rich Turkish cuisine, all the proceeds of this book go into our funds.  The other 2 booklets are about Kaya village and Tlos respectively, giving useful background information about these two areas, very reasonably priced at 4 lira each, half of which will go into our funds.

CAFÉ FIG

Despite the very hot weather our Wednesday lunchtime coffee morning is a popular meeting place when in Fethiye. 

It’s just two minutes from our offices next to the sarcophagus to the Tadım Café where we meet, on the harbourside so not too far to walk.  We offer filter coffee and Nescafe, tea and Earl Grey tea, cakes, and biscuits and a relaxed atmosphere for chatting, reading, playing Okey or Backgammon.  Why not arrange to meet your friends here when in town and stay for a chat and some refreshments, make new friends too.

SUMMER FETE DONATION 

We missed the name of the EGE SARAY from the list of companies who supported us in last week’s Land of Lights.  Our apologies to them, and again our appreciative thanks.
