Election Day Sausage Sizzle

The sun was shining and the sausages were flying out the door! Thank you to all the volunteers for signing up and helping out on the day! Big thanks to Deb Putt for being there all day to assist everyone.

Mother's Day

The mums of GPS had an incredible night on Thursday night! As well as having fun, we fundraised for an organisation that does super important work, Women and Mentoring (WAM). It felt good to give to those more needy. Big thanks to Lyla Hennig for organising it all! Lyla, you are a superstar! Also thanks to the very talented Gardenvale mum Estzi from Resterika Catering for making such delicious cookies for us all. Contact Estzi on her business page on facebook @Resterika! Another super talented GPS mum, Nicole Fendel set up an incredible jewellery stall and many mums bought themselves or a loved one a special gift! Thanks Nic for being there and donating some gorgeous pieces too. Another incredible GPS event to be remembered.
