MPW Sausage Success at Bunnings!

Last Saturday our school had the opportunity to host the Bunnings BBQ near Highpoint and it was a sausage success! We had a beautiful Spring-like day that attracted lots of hungry Bunnings shoppers. We served over 800 sausages, that’s 70kg, went through 48 loaves of bread, 15kg of onions and lots of sauce and drinks! There was a constant stream of hungry individuals and families with many repeat customers so the snags must have been tasty!

It was a brilliant day with lots of fun and laughter amongst the busy team of volunteers ensuring no-one missed out on a sausage.

The Fundraising team were supported on the day by our wonderful and generous MPW volunteers who were all willing to contribute more time than they were allocated to make sure we could keep our momentum and ensure it was a successful day. We would like to say a big thank you to Anthea Christilaw, Kurt Bieri, Kathleen L, Julie Morgan, Darryl Puddefoot, Jackie Parry, Kate Collinson, Rob Rae, Vanessa Kerr, Anne Schulze, Brian Stanley, Jane Gulmen, Amanda and Daniel Serra, Chris Duff, Neville Boon, Naomi Grayson, Kerri Simpson and Sandra Monaghan for giving up their time to support this great fundraising opportunity.

 

We would also like to extend a huge thank you to our local Bakers Delight at the Showgrounds & Union Rd for their generosity in supplying us with complimentary bread for the day.

 

Thank you,

MPW Fundraising Team (Rachel, Danielle & Sophie)
