Luncheon

For the last two years I have organised a luncheon for online stampers. As many of us had not met face to face I thought it would be fun to meet in the flesh.
At the first one we had about 23 people and we had a great time.
Last year we had nearly 40 people and it was fantastic.
Ladies had travelled from Victoria, Sth Australia, Queensland as well as far north in NSW as Taree down south past Wollongong, not to mention people from all over Sydney, from as far west at the lower Blue Mountains to Manly in the northern beaches.
Last year I organised show bags and lucky door prizes for all who attended.
This year I am organising a raffle to raise money to purchase items for hampers for the drought stricken farmers in north western Victoria.
One of our members is a farmer in the area and has first hand experience of the difficulties experienced down there. For the last couple of years Mary has been lobbying various businesses to get donations for these people, so a bit of cash input will not go astray.

  2. Thank you Susannah, it was certainly great fun last year with lots of noise & laughter, swapping ATCs & sharing our "show & tell" things.
