To be given the award on Australia Day was wonderful when there where so many deserving groups nominated.

There have been many people over the years who have help us achieve our goals and we thank them from the bottom of our heart.

There’s almost too many to mention: Coles for donating our scones; every brass band celebration for our Devonshire teas next to the craft cottage in Cook Park, Bastick Cottage for supporting us; Linda and Nicole Morgan and their families for their help with the teas; and the hospital for our stall.

We are grateful to all: Without the community support we would not be able to achieve our goals of helping to buy much-needed equipment for our local hospital, helping both the staff and our loved ones.

Thank you.
