It is over and done. It was brilliant. Worked really well. Everyone was impressed!

Today was our Melbourne Cup Luncheon as a fundraiser for our high school. It has been a lot of hard work, a lot of worry and a lot of headaches.

I cannot praise the hospitality kids enough for the effort that they made on the meal. Everyone ate it and loved it. For the fact that these kids are all 15 /16, they produced a wonderful meal. They served well and looked after the drinks etc on the tables. They cleaned up after the meal. If they don't all get a High Achievement for their efforts I will be surprised. (they were doing this as their final assessment for the year)

I am putting this in here even tho they won't be reading it and I will be putting it in the school newsletter. The sound and lighting team had everything working like clockwork. They had a small hiccup yesterday with the projector but they fixed it this morning and so we were able to watch the race on the big screen on stage. Without these guys the day would not have run as well as it did either.

The girls that helped out with the fashion parade were commended for their spirit of involvement. 16 yr old girls don't like to wear fashion aimed at the 30-60 yr old age group but they carried it off with aplomb.

The committeee that helped to run the day. From acquiring prizes to helping set up tables, they did a fantastic job.

Lastly the school, for allowing us to use the hall and giving us the support we needed. From allowing the students to use the day for their assessment, for allowing students to help set up and for allowing us to use the students to help on the day. Without their support, we would be stranded.

THANK YOU
