update!

Hi everyone

In a big effort to blog a couple of times a month - here we are :-)

A massive fortnight in the Simpson house...we were the recipients of an amazing gift of $23050 courtesy of the EastGIppsland Convoy for Kids proceeds...i honestly shed a tear or two...that amount of money secures our future for around 5 years! its amazing to think that that amount of money can make such a big difference for us but it does...when i can work out how to get the photos onto the blog from my phone, i will make it a priority! A small community group to put on such a HUGE event is fabulous...the other great thing is the money was split three ways, so we received some as well as AngelFlight (which is close to my heart) and Camp Quality! some very very happer campers as receipients thats for sure!

We also hosted about 15 VCAL students from the local Secondary College who held a casual dress and market day with proceeds coming to the cottage! Approximately $380 was raised - but the best part is the students were able to come up, actually see the cottage and what we do, and hopefully keep us in mind as they grown into young adults...its lovely working with the local kids...and very cool we can make an impact on them :-)

We are still pretty busy doing presentations and do perhaps 2-3 every month or two...just depends on what is going on...Pete recently did one for the Lakes Entrance Legacy Widows which he enjoyed immensely...Pete is very passionate about legacy..his wonderful poppa does some amazing work with Legacy in Deniliquin :-)

We have had the builder up to look at the work needing to be done, so we are hoping we can get a quote and works started really soon...we are also working toward a quote for some concreting and landscaping too...so that will keep us very busy!

We are also working slowly towards the trivia night to be held on the 19th July! We absolutely CANNOT WAIT! will keep you posted on that too!

take care everyone and stay warm!
hugs and warm winter sunshine
