Sunshine Coast Feeding Fund: August 2012

There has not been very much action in June & July with a very long school holiday in between the two months ! We are, however, back in full swing and it seems hard to believe that we have been providing e'Pap to the kids for nearly a year already !
Just before the schools broke up in June I met a Bathurst newbie, Dane, who came along on a "school-run" with me to see where he could lend a hand. How lovely to have youngsters like this willing to give of their time and support . Thank-you Dane..you are a star !

In July there was great excitement way over the Big Pond in Michigan USA ! I belong to an awesome on-line group of "Grannies" who do digital scrapbooking. (they are not ALL Grans..some are GITS ..Grannies-in-training ! )It is difficult to describe the amazing closeness of this group who have been together for 7 years now. We all know one another so well ! Anyway..a few weeks ago a GREAT GRANNY GET TOGETHER was planned and 11 of these fabulous Grannies gathered at Laura-Lou's home in Gibraltar Michigan for a couple of days ! Can you imagine the chin-wagging that went on ?? Hahaha!! Many of them were meeting for the very first time !! When they all left they filled up an envelope for Laura to contribute towards all the wonderful hospitality shown towards them ..and without missing a beat Laura donated it ALL..on behalf of all those precious Grans.. to our e'Pap fund !!! $600.00 !!! OMG !!! What a God send..that is enough to keep the fund afloat for nearly 2 months ! You can just imagine how blown away I was by this incredibly generous gesture ! THE GRANNIES ROCK !!!! Here is a pic of these fabulous ladies ♥♥


Wonderful "Grans" at the GGGT !!!

We also received a lovely donation from Sharo , another a precious member of the Granny Thread, and her husband Lance..this time from DownUnder ! Isn't it just amazing how much love and support we receive from all over the world ? It is so heart warming ♥
Closer to home..in fact right on my door step , Helen Mac has organized a monthly stop order for us ! THANK-YOU Helen ..this is SO appreciated ! Helen's sister Rina was visiting and left a lovely crisp 20 pound note for the Fund !! THANK-YOU Rina !! We LOVE pounds !! Hahahaha !!
A HUGE thank-you also to Howard and Aubs for so generously always handing over their "municipality cheques " to the fund ! You guys are wonderful and your generous gesture helps to provide nearly 600 meals ! WOW !!!
And last..but definitely not least..the awesome ladies from Relix once again emptied their little wobbly teapot which they keep on their shop counter for customer's change ..they had collected over R130.00 !!! Woo-Hoo !! THANK-YOU !!!

As always..all my faithful donatees who never fail to deliver.. I can't find the proper words to express how much your support means to me !! You are all angels !

Jarred and I went for a little visit to Siphucule a few days ago ..we took a pile of yummy home made choc-chip cookies and we sang "The wheels on the bus" about a hundred times and read stories and played and played ! We ALWAYS receive such a warm welcome !!! What a lovely way to spend a morning !! Here are a few pics to make you smile too !
With much love..Kay
