Thank you

Wow term 3 has been jammed packed already and we’re not done yet!!!

 

Last newsletter I thanked the organisers of Trivia however I wanted to do another quick shout out to them all again, as the event was so amazing! We have nearly calculated our profit but so far it is looking really healthy and it will all go towards our children's school programs, which is really fantastic. 

 

Thank you to the Trivia main organisers, Kathryn and Zoe, who did a fantastic job of organising everyone, booking the different businesses in and pulling everything together! Dee & Claire for all the donations, you did an incredible job to secure so many amazing items for our community to bid on! Kate H, Rachel and Caroline - thank you for the incredible decorations, the tables looked awesome. Callie and Nicole for being on top of the waste! You are true Waste Warriors - special thanks to Nicole’s business “Showcleaners” for the help on the Saturday and all the volunteers who helped on the night and the day after! The below businesses donated to Trivia and we can’t thank them enough!

As soon as Trivia was over we had Cupcake Day.

 

Thank you to Belinda and Rachel for overseeing Cupcake Day and to all the volunteers who helped during the day and all the bakers who made the kids day that much sweeter! Everything looked amazing! We were so impressed.
