Lily presented her talk without the use of notes. There was no shortage of imagination with any of the speakers. Some were difficult to hear in the large hall and being winter there was coughing to contend with. The main theme of all the talks was that the children wanted to use their super powers for good! Not a Darth Vader amongst them. This bodes well for the future.

Looking for a way to help our local Dairy Farmers? Look no further! A local group of Farmers, Friends and Community mem- bers have banded together to collect non-perishable food and household items that can be made into hampers. They will be distributed to our local farmers through a nomination process and local food banks. We need your help! Any contribution, big or small, will go directly to helping those farmers in your local community that are in need. Some examples for donation: · Sugar/Tea/Coffee · Flour · Pasta · Sauces · School Lunch Items · Sanitary items...including Toilet Paper and Bathroom Items, Razors & Deodorants Like us on Facebook to stay up to date with progress and future fundraising opportunities!
