Giving and receiving

A really fun morning at the Sunflower Fund winter fundraiser! Every aspect was outstanding - the venue, the food, the MCs, the entertainment and the prizes! It was great to meet up with new friends again, but the best part was finding two dear friends from the past and just carrying on the conversation as the intervening years fell away. How special are those moments!
These charity functions are a great way of helping raise funds for extremely worthy causes and the networking can lead to many surprising opportunities in life in an environment where like-minded people meet, even if it is only to be elevated to a greater level of compassion through association with those who steer these vital organisations.
I think the greatest gift is to be able to sing, and the smooth voice of Monique Cassells was an absolute delight. Jenny Morris, a long-time supporter of the Sunflower Fund, kept things light and lively, assisted by Dr Darren Green. He treated us to a marvellous rendition of a favourite, Nessun Dorma, and joining in the chorus was the cherry on the top of a delightful day! And the large voucher for a posh restaurant didn't go amiss!
