Jenny Smith from PTQ arranged a fabulous and very successful Spring Tea and EPP morning on the 5th of September for Festival 2028 fundraising. Here in picture (inter alia) is Charmaine Fiorotto (Chairlady) and Sandra Kruger (Treasurer) of PTQ, who took a trip to the retreat to hand over PTQ's fundraising cheque to the festival chairlady. What a special moment for us all. Their fundraising effort was tremendous and we are so grateful for their contribution. A very special thanks to Jenny and her team for this great initiative!
