Homebush Ball & April Social Fund Raiser

Greenacres Disability Services Fund Raising Social
Our annual fund raising social for Greenacres Disability Services, was well attended this year, a big thank you to everyone that bought along food and helped set up the tables for the afternoon, a big thanks to Janet & Kathy for helping out at the front desk and also my husband Rob who kept the hot food coming and washed up and vacuumed at the end of the social, I wouldn't be able to run the social without your help thank you xx.

We had lots of fun with a set program of dances and requests, to raise extra money, I would not call any tags or restarts for all dances, those that did the dances and forgot the tags or restarts had to put coins in the box for their mistakes, some people put in a few notes before we even started, it was quite funny.

Also a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream in the middle of the floor and you toss $1 coins, the closest to the  bottle wins.

We raised $913 for the fund raiser, which was a great effort on last years total which was about $500 less. So well done everyone.











Homebush Ball

Homebush Ball was fantastic, there were about 600 people that attended and we were lucky to have secured a bus to take us to this venue with our very good driver Neil, who got us back home safe & sound.

As usual the ladies & men that had a go at most dances ticked their favourites and told me I have to teach these dances, so my work is cut out for me for the next couple of months.

We have secured the bus again for next year, and already we have half the bus filled. So many want to experience the Ball, next year will be the 10th year celebrations so this will be extra special.

A couple of weeks before the Ball, we had a group of 10 students from Ros Straw's group come down for a weekend to practice the dances for the Ball, we had a lot of fun nutting out these dances. Thanks for your company, catch you another time.
