Fundraising Joys!

Thursday, 22/11/07 at 2:25 pm by Anita MacDonald

Yesterday we went to the meeting of the Papakura Lioness Club. They presented us with a cheque of $6,500!! This was the proceeds from the very successful trivia night held a month or so ago. A huge amount of work went into the evening and the result was huge!

From that night Aria’s story tugged on the heartstrings of the kind teachers and students at Cosgrove school. They were also there yesterday. We met a teacher and two students and they also presented us a cheque for $535. An amazing effort from the students and teachers there.

Fundraising is going very well. We still have a long road to go but are encouraged by what has happened so far.

We are enjoying being home. Hamish told Aria this morning a little baby was going to come and live with Mummy and Daddy and Aria. Aria shook her head no and smiled. Mmmmm interesting times ahead!!
