Good ole sausage sizzles!

I did wonder how the nicer weather would affect our sales and it looks like for Sunday any it made a difference. We made $450 profit on Sunday :) Many thanks to Angie and her kids and Joyah's Guide leaders Debbie and Gemma for their time and support.
We are now very close to $4000 raised, well on our way to our target. We have another sausage sizzle in about a months time. With the warmer weather we also look into having a couple of stalls at the riverbank market selling the bracelets Joyah has been making and also baking.
Also with the finer weather Joyah will have to start her training for her bike ride. As yet we still dont have anyone to help her with this, if you know of anyone who can please let us know.

Lots of news


First of all some good news. Last Friday Joyah's guide unit organised a neon 80's disco for her. It was a wonderful night and they raised $251 for Joyah :) The night was well supported by leaders and girls. The Girl Guides from Joyahs unit put in a lot of time and effort and did a great job. Here's some photos of the night. You can see Joyah in a pastel green top and Nimue is wearing a yellow t-shirt with pink hearts on it.














We are having a small half way there party on Sat night as we as we now have raised $3500!!!!! Big thanks to EVERYONE that has helped and supported us we are thrilled with the results so far!

Some sad news though. The night before the disco Joyah's guide unit's hall was badly burned in an arson attack. It will have to be demolished and have been told by the council that the hall will not be allowed to be replaced on the land where it was . So at the moment her unit has nowhere to meet! All their resources and work was lost. That included all the decorations for the disco that girls had spent the previous 2 weeks making :(

We have another sausage sizzle on Sun 23rd August. This will be a tricky one to organise as both girls will be in 2 concerts that afternoon! So any volunteers will be much appreciated :)
