not sure how i did this or if it can be repeated...

i am back into the site again...have been so sad as so many people are asking how the dinner went and how progress is travelling and i have not been able to access the page - others could but not me! for now, things look ok so i will do as much as i can while the going is good! would love to be able to get some photos up soon also!

The Feast for Feet (South) was a wonderful success and a tribute to everyone who so willingly supported the night! At this point in time we are looking at having raised close to $3,500 dollars as a result.

As well as the generosity of those who attended, which raised close to $2,ooo, we have been overwhelmed by the additional donations by SIRDAR Adelaide ($1000) and Hamish White (The White Group, $500) who having heard about the evening and our project, contributed toward the freight costs with extraordinary compassion and goodwill.

All i can say is that the past few months have brought such extraordinary experiences, including sleepless nights, tears ( happy and tired) but above all a determination to ensure that the lessons learned will not be wasted and will go on to be the foundation for so many more 'adventures' as Virginia and I have now termed them!!!

i close this post with trepidation and fingers crossed that i will be back in a few minutes - am off to find the photos!
