Thank you Georgie, your invitation for me to attend and participate in the cooking demonstration for the parents retreat, is a personal badge of honour.
The rides on the Harleys were a first for me and so much fun,I can understand why in SOME cases motorbike riding is addictive ! I am still a fan of a roof, doors and four wheels for my transport option. The HOGS motor cycle group were just lovely and the children and parents had an absolute ball.A cheque for $1000 . from the Hogs MC and a hand crafted quilt for each family from the quilters group, were very welcomed.
The community of food won through again with the interaction of the parents and siblings around the table. In such a short time while we all had our hands in making gnocchi and reading the recipe we learned so much about each other .
To mark the end of the retreat an informal gathering , reflections of the weekend were shared by some of the families with the audience, it was full of emotion and gratitude . There was nobody with dry eyes.
The volunteers , all of you are amazing human beings and put a lot of us to shame. Your support and selflessness given to those in need was a shining light , everyone of you are to be congratulated.!!!
Everyone knows or is aware of someone doing it tough, for whatever reason....lets not judge because we are not walking in their shoes .....this week do one small insignificant thing for someone in need .
