JK Rowling to the rescue at Antiville
 
The Larne Times reports that J.K.Rowling has yet again done a heroic deed.

Quote:

The parent association have recruited the best selling author in their campaign to save the school from possible closure.
When she was asked to donate an item to be sold at an auction next month, the millionaire writer had no hesitation in signing hardback copies of each of her Harry Potter novels, including a rare first edition.
Quote:

The complete set of books comes complete with a letter of authenticity from Ms. Rowling.
Quote:

"The auction is to raise funds to help meet the educational needs of the children and also to highlight the cause of Antiville Primary", Samantha said.
Quote:

"The board is to make up its mind about the future of the school next month and we believe that it is important for the future of the estate that the school be retained", they said in a joint statement.
"The special education unit has such a high reputation that parents from as far away as Glengormley volunteer to send their children to it. The special unit is a facility not just for Antiville, but for the greater Larne area.
"The school is an important community resource", the DUP men added.
"It is a centre not just for children, but also for adult education.
"At a time when the estate is undergoing difficult change the loss of the school would be very wrong.
"We trust that the board will do more give the school a sat of execution, but go further and give assurance that it will remain so that parents can have confidence in sending their children to it", they stated.

I got that paper this week and saw the article. I was going to post it but i couldnt get on the computer. I have the article from the Larne times paper if you would like me to post it to you.

Hey that's great! It's not like she's handing money out, she's encouraging reading and donating at the same time! Now if only all rich celebrities would think that way...

potterxfan04 10-16-2004 12:36 AM

this is so nice of JK, and all those autographed books should raise a lot of money! hope the school wont be closed, would make JK happy if it stayed open..

Siriusly_in_Love 10-16-2004 03:01 AM

Lovely JK is at it again! Hope the auction goes well.

HermyOneGranger 10-16-2004 03:26 AM

Thats very nice of her, but she could probably afford to buy the school, thus saving it from closure for good. Then again she must get thousands of begging letters, lots of them from equally worthwhile causes.

totallyweirdcutie 10-16-2004 11:16 PM

that's great!!! she always cares bout others and always willing to help out when sum 1 is in need and i think that's y people like her so much (aside 4m her perfect books!!!)

Lady_Rowena 10-16-2004 11:23 PM

And that is why we all love Jo.

lauradonaghy 10-17-2004 10:26 AM

Wow, it's a wonder Moy Regional never thought of that... I live about 40 miles from Larne and a load of state schools (including the one down the road from my house) round here are getting closed down cos they only have like 30 kids in them. Nearly everyone goes to the private schools. S'a terrible pity. I can't get a lift to Larne. :(

lightstar1154 10-17-2004 01:40 PM

Siriously, she is a truely wonderful person. Not that is was a big deal for her, but it is still rather awesome that she never ceases to help out her fans.

siriusly_loving_gary 10-17-2004 01:56 PM

ah, go jo! that's why we all love her! always willing to help ... i think she's ab****ely wonderful.

ebony_wandson 10-17-2004 02:32 PM

Aah, another reason why we worship and admire the lovely JK, she is just well lovely! :bow:

katiesmith_151 10-17-2004 06:10 PM

good on her

Fawkes 10-18-2004 01:59 AM

awww yay! I'm glad that Jo casts such a nice light. Showing off that even if she's richer than the Queen that she remembers what got her there and gives back

:superman: <- Jo to the rescue

Elizabeth (Lilly) Potter 10-18-2004 03:21 PM

J.k. Rowling Is So Nice!!

harrypottergurl2003 10-18-2004 03:46 PM

Go Jo Go :superman: > :stab: > :chrleadr:

lunano1 10-18-2004 07:40 PM

That was really nice of her but I do feel because of this generous act she might be taken for granted, with schools all over the world probably writing letters,
her poor post man! :-(

SiriusManiac 10-18-2004 09:18 PM
