A little boy lost reunited with his Mum, stress with a stall holder, coffee, pizza, ShelterBox, lots of bacon, eggs, sausages, donuts, plants, veggies and much more. Today was our January Market and it did not disappoint.
I am always overwhelmed by the commitment of our members towards our major fundraising projects.
Allow me a few lines to say thank you to David and Rachael for organising the gate, Laurelle for assisting on the gate and publicity, Frank for marking out and making donuts, John Doyle for helping from 7.30 in the morning with assembling the ShelterBox and cooking Donuts and staying the entire day right through to pack up. Ashley Stanley for helping get the Shelter Box up and happening.
Thank you to Sandra for working in the van and for helping pack up, Lynn and Radar for the introduction of new drinks and helping in the van and with pack up and much more. For Rod, Peter, Mike and Merinda for helping with cooking, selling tickets and pack up, Angie for working in the van, selling Duck tickets and much more and to Michael for all his work in making sure the Duck tickets were all sold, marking out and much more and to Rolfe who, despite having a busy day himself making coffees, found time to help with set up and pack up.
Truly this is an amazing effort and example of working for community projects…… well done everyone ! Thank you !
Tuesday is our GREAT DUCK RACE and David has assured me that they will race at 1- 1.30. We need bodies on the bridge to launch and down at Apex boat ramp to collect. This will be good fun, bring 10 friends. Thank you to Michael for stepping in and handling the Duck Ticket sales. For as long as we’ve been running the Duck Race, we haven’t needed permission….it is fun, it is for charity.. but this year we have had to get approval from the Marine Park Authority. Congratulations and sincere thanks to Rod for navigating his way through the mine field that is Marine Park red-tape-esque paperwork. We have permission to run our Duck Race for 3 years.
Don’t forget that Thursday night is our return to the Whale and Youth Night…. Should be a good one….. bring 5 friends.
Have a magical evening
Cheers
Bob
