Sierra's Sunday Sausage Sizzle


Thank you Monique, Evan & family, Neil, Paul & Kerry for cooking sizzling snags all day long.

Monique heard about our fundraising efforts through an annoucement we made at the Glen Waverley Bikram Yoga Studio. A few weeks later my Mum (who has now taken over the fundraising - Thank You MUM!!) called Monique to see if she was still willing to help. Monique said, "Yes, we can do a sausage sizzle but you'll need four people to man it all day and you have to decide right now". Nervous about where I would find four people Mum said, "OK". This was the Friday before the Sunday!!

Thank goodness for the support of our firends who stepped in with very little notice.

Apparently, it took everyone three washes to get all the grease out of their hair!

They raised a fantastic $970.

Designer Handbag Donations...

Loredana kindly asked her friends to donate money to Sierra this year instead of buying her a designer handbag that she says she didn't really need!!! I can't comment about whether she needs the bag or not but her 30th Birthday gift money has started a trend...

Jake Wyatt kindly donated his birthday money and Laura Kahane asked her husband to donate to Sierra instead of buying her a Monther's Day gift.

Thank You:

Jacqueline Scarr
Emily Martin
Jenny White
A. Minns
Vanessa Bonney
Jake Wyatt
Laura Kahane

I feel humbled by these glorious people. The total from their efforts is:$600
