Hi everyone, Trish is back and Madeline has flown, but we are managing to keep afloat with the co-operation
of all. Last week we had our first ever Strawberry Festival which was a great success. The highlight of this
celebration was the Fashion Parade and Auction held at dove shop Apirana. Great fun and hilarity reigned and
hidden personalities were revealed ie. Terry our once shy volunteer and now not so shy employee and Daniel
who does our pick-ups from the Warehouse. The Strawberry Festival raised in the region of $10,000 - a great
team and community effort. Our thanks to everyone. Trish & Lynne
