The fundraising 40th birthday is about a month away. The event is coming together nicely, although we could do with a few more items for the silent auction.  We are lucky to already have great local support on board, so if you are lucky enough to score an invite to the night then trust me you will be well fed and watered.

So getting back to my main focus – the silent auction, we have been lucky with support already from Novotel Manly, The Sydney Swans and some great health and wellbeing items, but yes we always need more to make the night truly amazing. So if you know someone who could donate us an item or a service for our auction that would be superbly helpful – please note nothing is too big or too small anything would be really appreciated.

If you have not seen our supporters page check THE HELP page on this website to see who is already on board, these are being added daily right now so keep checking back.

On another note I am off to vote in the federal election this weekend, I always keep in mind what is going be best for my family and our local area. For too long we have been a safe seat, time to shake things up a bit I think. If the status quo doesn’t change then that’s fine. Make the politicians fight for it, being a marginal seat in the future can only make projects and ideas come to fruition rather than promised for a very long time. So just have your say everyone is entitled to have a vote – so do it!

While we are talking politics, I will be meeting with our State Member for Parliament the Hon. Brad Hazard about the importance of the Australian Shunt Registry on Monday morning bright and early. So preparing the facts and figures and getting slightly nervous about doing a good job of representing the cause as best as I can – wish me luck!
