Michael Boyd and the cast of the Magic show put on an excellent show for the children and families attending on Sunday. Many thanks to all the community businesses that supported this show and provided tickets for disadvantaged children carers, and families. 

The Show was performed and was greatly appreciated by the audience. We have received some thankyou emails from happy parents. We gratefully thank all businesses who donated the funds for the tickets we distibuted to disadvantaged families.

Beneficiaries for 2011 - 2012:

St George Hospital  wishlist requests are updated each year from:

• Delivery Suite

Last year funds raised fell well short of the $33000 on the list.

• Anaphylactic Association

• Hydrocephalus Association
• Local Special Purpose Schools

This would add several more thousand dollars.
