SPECIAL THANKS TO THOSE WHO HELPED
Thanks to Dapto Anglican Church for providing the venue, and making the hiring-of-the-hall part such an easy process. And thanks for their assistance with signage too.
Also a big thanks to Jan Jordan, and Amie Abbott, who took care of signing-in, collecting money and selling raffle tickets. Julie Clark and Linda Bell for helping with tea and coffee, and also helping with things I hadn't thought of. Thanks to my grandson Michael, and his friend Hayden, (and Hayden's friend) who helped out directing our traffic to the right area and putting the number stickers on the cars and bikes, and also to Phil Perry for helping direct the parking etc.
There are no doubt others who I have missed, but you'll know who you are and what you did. Thank you all so much!!
Of course, if we had all these people donating and helping, it would all be a bit useless if no-one came! So a HUGE THANK YOU!! to all who came along and generously supported the event! Every person who walked through the door (and some who didn't, but still donated and contributed!) helped to make this event the success that it was. But I would like to mention a few groups especially who promoted and supported us.
Thank you all once again! There is a little boy in Heaven who will be smiling down upon you all, being very proud of what you have done!
